Re: 2012-13 Chicago Bulls Thread

Battier fouled out without committing a single foul tonight.

[USSoccer]

The amount of contact that's required for the Bulls to draw a foul is nuts. A lot of it is reputation, since it's our 2nd and 3rd string playing these games, but it's frustrating to watch a team try so hard, work so hard and then very rarely get the benefit of the doubt from the officiating.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm so tired of them whining after every single rare call against them.

That one justified the whining. Another example of a ref officiating to the score and not the play on the court. In a close game, they would have called the charge.

[USSoccer]

I think LeBron James is my least favorite athlete to watch play against a team I like, ever.

[Andy]

Circus shot by LeBron. Due for one of those, I guess.

 

Well, Game 1 was fun. Everything else was gravy - but damn, they were so close to actually having a shot.

[rawaction]

They were talking at last Timeout but would have loved to seen Pippen guard LeBron. Epic matchup.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Can't foul Ray Allen there.

[Andy]

0 chance LeBron or Wade doesn't draw a whistle if they do exactly what Noah did

[USSoccer]

I refuse to believe that was anything other than Noah flopping, because the ref was right there and there's no way he could have missed that assuming his eyes were working.

[USSoccer]

James is worse than an Italian soccer player. Way worse.

[Andy]

Bellinelli literally did nothing but stand there as LeBron ran him over. Fouls out

Bosh took 4 steps right in front of a ref and they didn't called it.

I'll do it this time...

 

Even a few minutes from Rose instead of Teague could have made a big difference in this game.

Yeah that's a foul on Marco. Easy call. LeBron got the ball. Belinelli undercut him.

Why is the UC so bad?

 

GSWs crowd is going to make our crowd look like two Hasidic Jews [expletive] through a sheet.

[Wilson A2000]

Officiating did not determine the outcome of this game. Missed calls for both teams. Bulls' defense wasn't horrible, but the Heat just made shots. Gotta play smarter from here on out. You can't thug this series and hope that's enough to win.

It's a cavernous building and most of the lower levels on either sideline are filled with rich people who don't yell?

 

Chicago crowds in general kind of suck in terms of sustaining energy and noise. The only game I can think of off the top of my head that was an exception there was the 2010 NFC Championship.

god damn what an awesome reference

[Irrelevant Dude]

Regardless of whatever else comes out of this playoff series, thank you to whoever posted this. It doesn't get old no matter how many times I look at it.

Hawks crowds feel better in the same building, though.

The defense was poor, the FT shooting was bad, but the officials had the Heat in the penalty with 7 minutes to play. I'm still not sure what Noah did on the loose ball foul, and Marco was fouled on his 3. Bosh had a blatant travel in the 1st half.

 

The refs made some really bad calls to kill momentum for the Bulls.

I thought the game to end Miami's steak at the UC had a ton of sustained energy from start to finish

Different season ticketholder base. Different kind of fanbase in general; the prawn sandwich brigade isn't as prevalent.

[SpongeWorthy]

Lol prawn sandwich brigade.

 

It sucks because Mike Breen in particular always says the old stadium was the loudest building he'd ever been in.
