Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread

[UMFan83]

Remember how last year from December on, we won every single game against a good team. It's true look it up...every game.

 

Now we've lost 3 of those types of games in the last WEEK. I think the injuries are finally catching up to us.

[bcl412]

This has probably been the worst effort I've seen from the Bulls in a while. Especially on defense. They don't look like they're trying to close out on any shooters and there's really no help at all when a guy gets beat. This game sucks.

Pray we miss Philly in the playoffs. Terrible match up.

[Flames24Rulz]

Everybody besides Rose should be ashamed of their effort tonight.

No Deng and no Rip tonight. I'm not really too scared of them in a best of seven series.

I am.

 

This is a team you have to punish inside and on the boards. They're quick as hell out on the perimeter.

[SpongeWorthy]

Carlos Boozer is [expletive] worthless.

[Theo]

We stinks

lol keep your pants on boys, you're embarrassing yourselves. the heat lost to the bucks ffs. this loss means nothing.

This is stupid, meaningless hand waving.

Pointing out that the effort was really poor tonight is not embarrassing themselves.

[SpongeWorthy]

Effort is one thing.

 

Boozer being an overpaid bum and lacking identifiable basketball skills is another. His production in and around the basket has been basically cut in half and he is attempting 2.2 free throws a game. He's a one dimensional mid range jump shooter at this point. It's a very disturbing trend and solutions need to be explored.

So, ideally, the Bulls would want a secondary option at PF that can finish at the rim and is a good defender and rebounder?

Yeah, I like when Gibson gets his butt in the post. Good things usually happen.

 

But Boozer is getting paid and has enough good will built up that he'll continue to start. I just want him to humor me and pretend he wants to back a man down for once.

[Flames24Rulz]

I think the Heat should be worried about the Bucks in the playoffs too...

[SpongeWorthy]

Well the Bucks are a bad match up for them for whatever reason.

 

On the other hand, there's really nothing that has happened this season that should indicate that the Bulls would easily dispatch Philly. They're an elite defensive team and can throw a bunch of long, perimeter defenders at us...just like Indiana who the Bulls already struggled with last postseason and improved since then.

when you're going for the number 1 seed, every loss means something.

I think a healthy Bulls team beats everyone in the East aside from Miami regardless of home court advantage.

[Derwood]

I don't think I've ever seen Boozer back someone down in the post.

[17 Seconds]

yea, he looks completely done.

 

we really got the worst end of that free agency period in terms of PF. even david lee would look way better right now.

[Flames24Rulz]

Boozer really should have been amnestied at the beginning of the season.

 

Did anyone hear Kendall Gill lay into Boozer after the game on CSN's postgame show? Pretty good stuff.

Bucks are having a pretty decent run lately. I think they are a playoff team at this point.

Well all they have to do is beat out the Knicks and Cavs so that shouldn't be too hard. I'd love to see the Knicks miss the playoffs.

 

We need JR Smith so bad right now.

don't take it personal fella. jumping to the conclusion that a bulls team that is at worst the second-best team in the league, while missing two of its most important players, should be trembling at the thought of drawing the overachieving philly team in the playoffs is laughable.

We were the over achieving team last year. We aren't entitled to being an elite team again.

 

The Boozer sucking thing, which is what I'm mainly concerned with, is more trend than one worrisome game.
