Ditto

He had become adept at running screen and roll but was never the kind of guard that dissected defenses. That was never a strength of his.

rose is destroying rose. hes thinking too much, which causes hesitation on his next move and then everything goes to shit. he also thinks his body will just beat the opponent no matter what he does, and i have no idea where he got that mentality from. he used to facilitate the offense and now he thinks he is the offense. its almost like he forgot how to play

Why down 6 with under 30 seconds to go and no timeouts are they going for layups? Which they then missed twice.

First and foremost, we have to give Milwaukee credit. Their play on the defensive end has to be commended.

As for the Bulls side of the equation, it's become a sad turn of events. Turnover after turnover after turnover has pushed this series further than it ever should have gone. I still don't understand not running our offense through Gasol right now. Dribble penetration is obviously not getting it done. Better try something else before it's too late.

On to Thibs. I was always a fan and believed he was in the upper echelon of the NBA coaching world, but now, anything short of a championship and I'm officially off the Thibodeau is a great coach. He's not. He may be one hell of a regular season coach game to game, but we're going on three years now of him stumbling in the playoffs. The defensive trap has killed us in this post-season and past ones as well yet he still doesn't have an answer for it? Got to do better if you want all the money and accolades that come with the narrative (pushed by his good friend Van Gundy) that you're outstanding at what you do and would be even better if you had just a little support.

I still think we pull this series out, but my confidence about going up and coming out victorious against a depleted Cleveland team is waning by the minute. It sucks man! Everything seems to be lining up this year to make a run and we can't get out of our own way. I appreciate the Jordan Bulls sooooo much more than I ever did.

i just saw a deer fucking a pig. its wisconsin what do you do

about rose, i do think it comes down to the injuries he had. the two years off was devastating to his game. you cant just walk into the nba after being off that long and expect to be back. you see it with everyone else just the same. you miss half a season and you really arent back until next year. you miss a year, the first year youre back is nothing but practice. rose will be fine, but its not looking great for this playoffs. next year this time i bet he averages 20 points and 10 assists.

15, 5, and a turnover machine. The guy cant shoot.

Rose's strength has always been superior athleticism. His overall skill level was not vastly superior but his athleticism was greater than everyone else at that position. If he can't out-athlete other points any more then the expectations for him are unrealistic.

If this wasn't the NBA, where the league/officials sledgehammer the scales in favor of the home-team in game 7's, I'd say Bucks got this. OT game decided this series.

but he used to use smarts to trick his opponents then use his body to finish. he doesnt do that this year he just forces everything

Rose is barely relevant at this point. This has been Gasol's team all season and Thibs over-played Gasol during the season.

He also thinks that he can simply turn it on and off at a moments notice. He has also played a lot of hero ball this year. More often than not he appears to try and win the game by himself. That flew during his MVP year because the consensus was that the Bulls didn't have much besides him. It really has been revealing this year though because the Bulls have better players. He doesn't have to do that these days.

gasol is fine. rose is playing bad, and nobody is talking about jimmy getting absolutely smothered and he cant find a way to get open. bucs double team rose and butler every time

bucs just have too many long fast players which are scoring way more than they should be.

and nobody talks about how this is really the first time all year our REAL starting 5 had to play together in a stretch of games like this. this is not the team we ran all year, and everyone is a step behind trying to figure out what they should do. i hope we keep the band for one more year if we lose to cleaveland. if the injury bug is behind us and this group can put the puzzle together we will have the deep and gutty team we thought we had when last offseason shaped the way it did. not enough time this year to gel

i think youre looking at it too specifically. rose doesnt have the basketball awareness that he used to, and it makes the whole team look bad because the play is broken before it starts from bad decision making

im not worried because lebron fuckin james went through countless spurts like this. he sometimes just doesnt play like everyone knows he can, and he never had a serious injury. rose will be fine, i just wish he would really think about why hes sucking so much penis

Watching shit games like this makes me glad I was able to watch Jordan's entire Bulls career.

Talk about an assassin.

This team has zero killer instinct and is not hungry at all.

And Rose is like a fucking Zombie out there.

When is his contract up???

This Team has quit on Thibs

I'm out.

stop it guys. the bulls havent quit on thibs, they are not zombies, they are a lot better than they have been playing. the chemistry isnt there. they dont hate eachother, but they simply arent playing well together. i really hope that will change in a heartbeat this post season, but its not looking good

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

In 2008, Boston won the championship. Their first round series against the 37-45 Atlanta Hawks went 7 games.

In 2011, Dallas won the ship. Their first round series against Portland went 6 games. In the second round, Dallas swept the defending champion Lakers.

In 2014, San Antonio (1 seed) won the whole thing and their first round series against Dallas (8 seed) went 7 games.

This Milwaukee defense is tough. They led the league in opponent turnovers per game this year. Whether it's right or wrong, the Bulls play better against better teams. I expect them to be extremely motivated in the next series against Cleveland.
