  [h=3]Scott Sees 'Linsanity' In Lester Hudson[/h] Apr 11, 2012 12:38 PM EDT

  

  Lester Hudson scored 25 points in Cleveland's 103-90 victory over the Bobcats on Tuesday.
  Hudson also scored 23 points on Friday against the Raptors and 26 on Sunday at New Jersey.
  "The young man's playing great basketball, and he's doing it all in the system, which is great," Scott said. "He's not taking bad shots or anything. He's not forcing anything. He's doing an excellent job on the defensive end as far as rebounding for a guard. He's really getting in there and helping out our bigs. But, obviously, tonight again he got it going offensively and made the best of the situation."
  Hudson is having a similar impact as Jeremy Lin did for the Knicks in February.
  "The Linsanity thing I thought was similar to what's going on right now with Lester," Scott said when asked to name another player who had this kind of impact. "I think he's just playing great basketball."
  Hudson signed a second 10-day contract on Monday.

  Bynum needs someone to seriously hit him with a baseball bat across the head.

  Looks like Bynum has a bet with someone that he can't make a 3 pointer.

  I have no idea what this even means

  Bulls dominating OT. Nice to see.

  With 1 starter on the court.

  Bulls 4 up on Miami with 8 to play.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  The shot to go to OT was nice. Didn't expect that at all

  I think my team is in trouble once again. Good for me that basketball has been blah for me this year or else I'd be primed for an sq type meltdown.
• Midstate01

  

  Miami is just way too thin. No depth at all. And no inside play. Outside of gasol, bosh is the next softest big in the game.
• Skyhook79

  

  Lebron misses another key free throw and fails to show up in OT of course no one on the Heat showed up in OT.
• hoops23

  

  Miami isn't as good as Chicago or OKC.
  
  Big time coaching by Thibs to keep Rose off the court in favor of CJ Watson as well.

  I just don't get how Wade+Bosh+LBJ can combine for 2 pts in OT against the Bulls bench. I mean, I get we play good D but come on.
  
  No killer instinct from any of those 3.
• hoops23

  

  Miami's bench was out scored 47-7.
• dazedconfused

  

  miami has to run james, wade and bosh into the ground just to have a chance against the other elite teams. sure, you can win that way in the playoffs but it makes it really hard on yourself

  It seems when things get tight they give up. They'd rather it seem like they don't care than the fact that they went down while actually trying.

  Remember when the media was crowning the Heat the champions after the first game of the season? They aren't good enough to beat the Bulls' second string.

  to be fair, the bulls second string is probably better than about half the league's first string

  While I might agree, It seems a lot of what I heard last year(not saying you) was that the Bulls have nothing outside of Derrick Rose. Yet this year, they have the best record in the NBA, while playing basically half of their games without him.
  
  I personally think the Bulls have one of the best built all around teams in the league.

  Luol Deng has really helped with his emergence as a star player.
