  1. Sure, it's not ideal. But if i'm in a tough playoff series and I'm the opposing coach I'm perfectly fine putting the game on Luol Deng's shoulders.
  2. Basketball is the most frustrating sport to watch as a fan if you ask me. The opportunities for your team to do something stupid, for the refs to make a shitty call, and to generally make you want to break something are endless.
  3. It'll probably be close again. Putting bigger wings on Rose has worked wonders. I bet Lebron guards Rose a lot if it comes down to that... probably. but theyll play better at the united center. and now its essential they close this out to get rose some rest. his shot is horrible right now. he needs rest badly. and his ability to finish and drive was not there today. The problem with Lebron on Rose is that means either Wade on Deng (because Chalmers/Bibby is clearly not an option). Deng would eat DWade alive. The Heat are going to have to put Wade on Rose, if the matchup happens. I don't see Wade guarding Deng as any big defensive mismatch. What makes you say that? Wade's a really good defender and Deng is limited on offense if he has to create.
  4. Thibs' solution for offense is to scream about the defense even more.

  6. He's looked pretty bad the last few games ever since Indiana made adjustments. I'm going to keep harping on this but Thibs refuses to put him in isolation for some dumb reason. Spread the god damn floor and let him go.
  7. theyre shooting horrible. that doesnt mean the refs dont [expletive] suck. unless youre just staring at a box score and not actually watching the damn game. Shh. If you ignore him maybe he'll go away. Be alot easier way to make him go away, but some reason hes allowed to stay around saying whatever he wants about whoever he wants with nothing done about it. i'm sure derrick rose can handle it. If he'd just get a damn twitter account, i wouldn't have to make fun of him here. Kevin Durant is the Kevin Durant of posting unreadable gibberish and picking fights with Z-list rappers on Twitter
  8. This rest canard is really dumb and puzzling. The other contenders have been making deep playoff runs for years with old ass players. The Bulls haven't gotten out of the first round in years. 40% of the Bulls starting lineup missed a big chunk of the year. These are execution problems. I was more worried about Rose's ankle. 3-4 days of rest is a lot in an NBA schedule. The Bulls don't need more than a week of rust building up to complement their already horrible execution problems.
  9. These little timeouts by Vogel are mad [expletive]

  11. I don't know why we insist on bringing additional defenders to Rose by relentlessly running screens and P&R. It's a simple [expletive] game. Get Korver on the floor, stick him in the corner. Let Rose break his man one on one.
  12. I'm surprised a Bulls fan actually admitted this. Especially since he's going against LOL what's his name? I said it during game 1 how disappointed I was Thibs was being outcoached by Colin Cowherd.
  13. I just can't believe how badly Thibs has been outcoached this series. No adjustments, no ideas on offense (nightmares of VDN not being able to make them pay for double teaming Rose 35 feet from the hoop), no nothing
  14. during Rose's dunk? After Rose lands and McRoberts goes to inbounds the ball he throws a pretty violent elbow at Rose's head for no reason at all.
  15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA5nBWxvxKU look at Mcbob gooning it up here
  16. We're gonna get blown the [expletive] out by a real team
  17. Spread out and put Rose at the top of the floor with Korver in the corner. Rinse and repeat. Running actual sets isn't working.
  18. Boozer doesn't want to bang at all. We flash him to the high post and even if he does get it on the block he takes those terrible fadeaways.
  19. If Durant and Westbrook with their Mia Hammesque bodies can hold up in the playoffs then the Bulls can too.
  20. Why? We have [expletive] to work on. I don't know why anyone other than Deng would be any more tired than any other player on any other team with real title aspirations. We're younger than all of them (besides OKC I guess). These are execution problems not fatigue.
