2014-2015 Chicago Bulls Regular Season

[gscool89]

This is the longest that a Bulls team has ever kept my interest during the regular season. They're fun to watch.

 

what

 

Maybe he isn't old enough to remember the late 80's and 90's.

 

Or 4 years ago.

This team is a lot more fun to watch than 4 years ago

nah

[Banedon]

I do wish the Bulls and Blackhawks could somehow coordinate their schedules so they play on alternating nights instead of the same nights so often.

Power ranking alert!

 

I found it cool that the Bulls and Blackhawks were both number 1 in ESPNs respective power rankings today. Might we see a repeat of 1992 with the SC Final and NBA Finals both at the UC?

Including tonight, Mirotic is 14 for 23 from 3-point range over his last 6 games. That's over 60 percent. From 3.

 

Also, over a 6 minute period covering the end of the first quarter and beginning of the second, the Bulls held the Pacers to 1 point, that being a tech FT because of Thibs.

[Careless]

I have not seen the Bulls make a field goal. I have watched six minutes of game time. (edit: 8.5 minutes before they made one)

 

I don't recall ever watching this female ref before, but she's blown three calls in that time.

[bukie]

Had it all the way.

[Wilson A2000]

Bulls wanted to make it interesting. Butler continues to be a stud. The closer.

[ChiCubsFan]

Was interesting to see Rose defer to Jimmy so much down the stretch. Probably for the best as Derrick just didn't have it tonight.

[SpongeWorthy]

Rose looks crappy. He can't get himself easy baskets.

[Guest]

rose is bad

[Careless]

Rose and Butler 5-27, 2-3 on free throws.

[mul21]

2nd night of a back to back. Rose probably isn't quite used to that yet. He'll be fine based on what we've seen lately, just needs to get in better basketball shape.

I don't have the numbers but it seems like he had 2-3 games where he shot well and started attacking and then went cold and settled for 3s galore again.

 

I'm sorry a 26% 3 point shooter should not be shooting 5-7 3's a game. If he isn't able to get to the basket or conserving himself or something, then just don't [expletive] shoot 3s. Be a distributor. You have an MVP candidate playing next to you, find ways to get him shots.

[Guest]

yeah it's weird. in the tor/wash back to back he was attacking like he used to. since the lakers game it's been all jumpers.

[UMFan83]

Rose said in the post game that he is not going to stop shooting 3s if the defense is giving it to him. Tonight the Nets dared Rose to shoot 3s and he did. Such a frustrating basketball player. I want to still like him and I definitely still support him but I can't believe how much he has fallen in my eye since 2011. With all the scoring we have right now id almost rather have a rondo type PG

It was a bad game for everybody on the Bulls. Shots that they have been making in previous games weren't going in last night. It happens...move along.

You say you still want to like him, and yet you go out of your way to find every possible thing to nit pick him about and blow it way out of proportion as soon as something goes south.

[Wilson A2000]

Rose is not intelligent on and off the court

[Banedon]

Rose is not intelligent on and off the court

 

He said last night that he was getting "more smarter" on the court. No joke.

[UMFan83]

Rose is shooting 9% from the field the last 1.5 games (2-22) and 16% (7-42) the last 2.5 games. Ouch

[ChiCubsFan]

Small sample sizes are only fun when they make our players look good.

[bukie]

I'm not sure it can be overstated how much better the Bulls are offensively and defensively with Rose on the court right now, even when Rose can't hit shots.

[Sammy Sofa]

Pretty sure Rose finished this game like he did as a direct "[expletive] you" to UMFan. So awesome.

Apparently the Denver bench was shouting "Let him shoot it!" in the 4th quarter. After hitting one of those late shots, Rose stared down the Denver bench.
