1-1 series, [expletive] we had a huge chance to take a big lead in this series and we flat out chocked tonight.

 

The good news is our offense likely won't shoot like this again, the free throw shooting probably won't be as poor and you would think Rose won't be as bad either.

 

I just don't like that we now have lost home court advantage.

And when Korver is on the court, Rose is forced to guard Wade and he's totally wiped out on offense.

Rose doesn't play one of his worst 5 games of the season, we win. Bulls don't turn over 8 or so layups (how is that even possible?) under the basket, they win. Terrible loss

I'm not so bummed. We played about as badly as we can possibly play. We can win on the road.

 

And it seemed like every ball that could just by chance bounce to the Heat did. Not a lack of hustle or anything, just a bunch of unlucky bounces.

I'm really bummed. This Bulls team just flat out cannot score against the Heat thus far. Game 1 was incredibly lucky with many big shots dropping.

 

That's not what happened at all though. They shot a higher percentage than we did in game 1.

Well you knew James and Wade would come out better. Yet we were still in it near the end. James was just a man tonight though and closed.

 

Our pitiful offense wasn't just on us, Miami improved their D a lot. And the return of Haslem helped them a lot so thats something to think about going forward.

 

Right now Gibson and Asik are playing better than Noah and Boozer. Need to get those guys going. Also Korver finding his hot sauce would be nice.

 

Its still a 7 game series in my mind, although it will be fun to see all the casual observers who switch their decision again just like after game one.

If they are going to collapse on Rose, other guys have to hit shots. It's that simple. NBA players should be able to hit open jumpers.

 

The Heat still haven't shown that they can score in the half court. When they run, they score. But we should be able to prevent it if we score occasionally, and limit turnovers. Playoff games tend to be decided in the half court, not fast break.

 

I still like the matchup. I think the Bulls are the better team according to the matchups.

The Heat shot a higher % in both games and should have won both games imo. The Bulls had many many lucky breaks in Game 1. We cant rely on luck if we're going to win 4 games against the Heat. The Bulls must shoot a higher % to win the series.

What lucky breaks did they get though?

I'm going to have to watch the game again as I'm too irritated about Game 2, but the CJ Watson fadeaway 3 is a big one that sticks out.

When the Bulls already had a double digit lead?

If you can't understand how dominating the Bulls were in the first game after one watch, then don't even bother going back to look again.

Deng destroyed the bulls on offense. Bad shooting and a ton of turnovers under the basket

Deng was not the problem on offense.

He was part of it. If they can't knock down the open 3's, they are going to be in trouble.

He was one of them. Everyone shot like garbage tonight, Deng included.
