Bulls free throw shooting is going to kill them in the playoffs

Odd that you say that on a night they shot 78% from the FT line.

I watched the Cavs broadcast and they flashed a graphic that said the abulls are 28th in the league in FT%

 

Yeah they are horrible at FT shooting. Tonight was a good night for us at the line despite shooting a mediocre percentage. But we also missed several FTs in the last minute that would have killed us had Cleveland hit a shot or two.

 

I don't necessarily know if lack of FT shooting will hurt us in the playoffs. Orlando actually has even a worse FT percentage than the Bulls this year and they are a team that wins in the playoffs and went to the finals 2 years ago. We'll see how much it hurts us.

When Noah was on the broadcast the other night, he said it wasn't due to lack of effort, as they finish off every practice by shooting a ton of free throws. They weren't bad at it last year either, so it's hard to say what the problem is. I won't start worrying about it until we get closer to the playoffs.

I'd like my star player/PG to be shooting better FT%, particularly when he's the most likely to be handling the ball/being fouled in tight games.

[Soul]

He'll pull it together in the 2nd half at the FT line.

Rose isn't the most likely player to be fouled in ANY game

[ChiCubsFan]

Look around the NBA. Good teams lose to bad teams or barely squeeze by bad teams all the time. We've won something like 13 of our last 15 games, so who cares. We'll be ready come playoff time. I can't wait to see the team at full force though (and with a real SG).

From Chris Sheridan's chat today:

Rich (Brooklyn)

What would the Knicks have to offer to get Rose and Noah- Would Curry, Fields and 2 No. 1'a be enough? You have to think that because the Bulls are close to the cap, they'd move those guys...

That's just fantastic.

LOL. Lordy.

[UMFan83]

Did Isiah Thomas take over the Bulls today?

[17 Seconds]

surprised that sheridan allowed himself to be trolled (obviously) so easily

[Careless]

REALLY nice to have Taj back

[UMFan83]

Bulls games are boring now that they just win every game.

 

I'm just kidding, this is awesome.

 

Taj looks like a completely different player than the one we've seen since Boozer came back. Wonder what they told him.

[17 Seconds]

every single time rose finds deng WIDE OPEN for a 3, he bricks it. i dont understand where deng's 3's are coming from, considering he has a good percentage. i watch every game and it feels like he's constantly throwing up bricks out there.

[Careless]

Double double in the first half for Taj

I wouldn't mind doing it against a good team though. It's getting kind of boring playing these shitty teams.

This month-long stretch is why it was important to just tread water in the first 20 games. Since they did that and more, the sky is now the limit.

 

Also kind of nice to be playing with 3 of the top 4 players on the team for once.

[17 Seconds]

even if we win, this 3rd quarter hurt us. now we probably have to use rose/boozer/etc in the 4th quarter instead of being able to rest them for tomorrow night's game

[17 Seconds]

omer has some really nice moves for a gargoyle

[SpongeWorthy]

Hey cool Taj's first good game in like a month.

[17 Seconds]

good to see a nice efficient night from rose

[17 Seconds]

damn, raptors announcers are all over taj's nuts
