They lost but it wasn't all bad. They just need to not get completely killed during a single-quarter stretch.

 

Let's get 'em next game.

It's begining to be a problem (having that bad quarter). Obviously you can't expect a team to win every quarter, but 37-12 last night in the 3rd quarter, 30-14 to Houston 2 nights ago in the 3rd, 27-18 in the 3rd to Denver a few games ago, 30-15 to Boston in the 2nd quarter, 36-22 to the Knicks in the 2nd quarter, 39-23 to Detroit in the 2nd quarter, 24-13 to OKC in the 4th. In 7 their 10 games they've had a lopsided (at least -19 points) quarter.

I'm sure that's probably a typo, but only one of those games you mentioned (the Spurs game) fits the category of a "-19" quarter. I'm assuming you mean -9. And honestly, if you're going to bring it down to that kind of number, I'd be surprised if a lot of teams don't meet that statistic.

Occasionally yet, but with being too lazy to look, I'd bet most teams don't have a quarter like that 70% of their games. Even so, take out the -9 game, adn the -11 game, and say in half their games they have a quarter where the opponent outscores them by 14 points or more.

[SpongeWorthy]

Cool, Luol forgot how to shoot.

 

This bodes well.

[bcl412]

They have been moving the ball amazingly thus far and have gotten some open shots. Too bad we can't hit anything.

 

Then again, we may be getting open shots because we can't hit jump shots at all.

[SpongeWorthy]

Pretty.

[bcl412]

I doubt that they will be playing zone the rest of the game. We've carved it up.

[DivineBovine]

Brewer's shot is as ugly as Korver's is pretty.

[SpongeWorthy]

Brewer's shot is as ugly as Korver's is pretty.

 

Yeah, he's got a bad hitch in it. Too bad because he does everything else well.

[Flames24Rulz]

Not sure what the Bulls do during halftime but they might want to change that.

[bcl412]

Have we hit an open shot tonight with someone other than Korver?

[SpongeWorthy]

Jesus [expletive] christ.

[Flames24Rulz]

At least we're a good first half team.

[bcl412]

At times I want to believe this team is legitimately good but even with Boozer back we don't really have a back court guy who can reliably hit an outside shot aside from Korver. Rose consistently hits open guys and the freaking brick it every time.

[Flames24Rulz]

We need a legit 2 guard. No hiding that.

[Flames24Rulz]

wtf is King bitching about? That's not a foul. LeBron and Kobe probably get that call but that doesn't change the fact that it's not a foul.

[chuckywang]

No blood no foul, right?

[Flames24Rulz]

If you want to go to the foul line, make your foul shots. Thankfully, Noah bailed him out.

[bcl412]

It's nice that we are actually competing on this trip instead of being obliterated like we usually do but it would be nice to pull of some wins.

[Cubbies622]

That should do it!! Great win by the Bulls! Our rebounding really came through, we destroyed them on the glass.

[bcl412]

2-1 so far on the trip!!! Don't think we'll beat the Lakers but it will be fun to see how they stand against what is probably the leagues best.

[DivineBovine]

Phew.

 

Nice win. Good defense today.

[Flames24Rulz]

Great win tonight. 2 out of 3 so far on the trip with the only L coming to a team that's 10-1.

[Cubbies622]

There is really nothing negative about this team when you consider that we are competing with or beating some of the West's best teams without one of our best players, Boozer. People want to say that we can't compete with some of the teams in the East, but why not? This team is very good as is, and is only going to get better with Boozer. With all that said I do not expect the Lakers game to be very close.
