The 2005-2006 Chicago Bulls Thread

So have the Bulls just missed shots all game, or has the Heat defense been that good?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

My bad guys, I turned the game on right before the 4th quarter started, I shall watch no more.

 

I'm watching a quarter of a Cavs game just for that. :evil:

Bulls have shot terrible. It has to be under 40%. The Heat haven't played well up until their little run right here. The big problem was when the Bulls were winning 55-50, they didnt score for four minutes. That's when they needed to go on a run and they didn't, and that is a big reason why, imo, they'll lose this game.

Bulls have shot terrible.

 

Marv keeps telling me that the Heat have really turned up the defense...just wasn't sure how true that was.

[Banedon]

Ugh...Heinrich looks terrible from what I've seen.

They've missed so many shots that they've been hitting more times than not. I put it to terrible shooting. Although if the Heat weren't the worst free throw shooting team ever, they'd be killing the Bulls.

Dagger.

[Jon]

How many balls are they going to lose out of bounds tonight?

 

Hinrich sure has been bad tonight.

[da bears]

Just absolutely a terrible game for the Bulls. They blew a golden opportunity tonight.

[Banedon]

Ok I'm done...hope they pull it out...later guys.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Sigh. :(

[snoodmonger]

Hinrich has been awful tonight. It's a shame, too. If either he or Gordon show up, we probably win this game.

That and playing like crap to start the 4th quarter too.

[Jon]

Chucking threes would probably be more effective than whatever they think they're doing on offense right now.

Still true.

[da bears]

Heat have made the shots when they've had to, Bulls haven't. Refs were crap tonight, too many turnovers, not getting the bounces tonight. I hope they can at least win game 6, but this sucks cause if they play they had in games 1, 3, and 5, they win this game. I hate Antione Walker now, by the way.

I've hated Antoine Walker ever since he was acquired by the Mavericks and proceeded to have his worst year ever.

For those of us that follow the Cubs/Bears/Bulls isn't it refreshing to look at the potential this team has and the resources at John Paxson's fingertips and be able to be pretty confident that Pax will make the right moves?

This is good news. I just hope they can extend their season by one more game. Then when the offseason does start, the Bulls will build on their success this year and be even better next year.

[Flames24Rulz]

crappy end to a crappy day.

 

i still think we'll win on Thursday.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

By the way, Kwame Brown is under investigation by the LAPD for suspected sexual assault. He's playing in Phoenix anyways.

[Andy]

Refs helped out Miami through the 1st quarter and any time we were about to grab control thereafter, but when Gordon, Hinrich and Deng all play absolutely terrible games, you're not gonna win. Bottom line.

 

Best we can hope for now is to hold serve at the UC and put it all on the line for a Game 7.

[gflore34]

The Bulls played terribly no doubt but, what's with all the lane violations called on them? I find it hard to believe they're the only team on the floor doing whatever it is that's getting called...

[Derwood]

The refs didn't lose this game for the Bulls. The refs didn't make them shoot 30%, the refs didn't cause them to not take advantage to a long stretch with Shaq and Wade off the floor. I'm sick of people blaming refs for everything. The Bulls should have won this game by double digits and did not. As such, they will likely lose the series.

If Thursday is really the last harrah for the 2005-2006 Bulls, its been a good one guys. I personally enjoyed last years bunch just a tad more, but that doesn't mean I don't love this years team and their scrappy play.

 

I still can't believe the Bulls lost to Washington last year. Blah.

It's interesting what a "let them all in" playoff philosophy will change how fans look at their teams. I don't see how any Bulls fan could be happy with this team finishing .500 and losing in the first round, and failing to take any sort of step forward after last season. In reality, making the playoffs isn't an accomplishment in either the NHL or NBA.
