This is partly Thibs fault. You can't play these guys as many minutes as he has in a playoff game and expect them to have any legs to finish the game, especially when you don't have a guy who can just take the ball and get it done on his own.

 

So frustrating.

what a disaster season

 

- had all the ingredients for a tank season and couldn't do it

 

- crappy playoff performance so far

 

- stupid Bobcats screwed us out of their lottery pick in a couple years

So we would have heard you weeping over the season if they had won one or both games so far, right? Because while the team has been fun, nobody has been expecting them to do more than have a bit of a run in the playoffs at the most.

Very tough to take. Man they blew that game. There were a lot of calls both for and against but that [expletive] tie up at the end of regulation was a horrendous call. The bulls didn't deserve to win but they should have had ball and a chance to win at true end of regulation.

 

Thibs is great. But you have Booz and Dunleavy on the bench for the last half of the forth when converting just a couple of possessions gives you the game. This team needs some offense and those two guys are the only weapons to space the floor. He stuck with a group that couldn't get a basket. And they didn't seem to run anything offensively. We had a fee possessions get bailed out by fouls or bad ball offensive rebounds. They stopped attacking and they stopped moving the ball productively. It's hard for me to ignore just how bad they played that last five minutes. It'd be one thing if Washington roared back but they didn't.

 

All in all I felt like we got away with a lot defensively. We got bailed out with calls a number of times. The rotations were off at the end and Thibs needs to get over his crunch time group. They needed offense and they left the only guys that should be relied upon on the bench. Very frustrating.

 

I do not at all think this is over. Washington does not have a strong home court. We absolutely can go over there and win 2. We shouldn't be in this position but I'm still very hopeful.

I'm not gonna pile on Noah for the turnovers. They are running an offense through a guy who is not skilled with the ball. Thibs needs to make changes. They need to win this series I need it. Don't they understand I don't have anything else?

Jesus Christ I was just settled down from the loss and you have to post that. I know the Bulls had about a 1% chance of scoring, but between the bogus jump ball to that I want my 1% back.

Boozer played 21 minutes, Butler played 53.

Good to know I wasn't the only one who 100% would have rather had Jo trying to hit a contested tip-in with 2 seconds left than Kirk at the free throw line.
