I won't act as if the Bulls will be blowing out the Bucks tonight, but they definitely have to jump on Middleton being out. Portis isn't listed on the injury report tonight and I expect him to be seeking revenge. It took a lot of things going right for the Bulls to win game 2 and I doubt we'll be seeing near 50% 3pt shooting again. That said, this is a prime opportunity to show some mettle and jump on the Bucks while they're hobbled.

PWill needs to continue to be aggressive. He was able to punish the Bucks for switching Brook Lopez onto him, hopefully he can keep that same energy regardless of who is on him. Obviously our main guys need to shoot well for us to have a chance. As much as we have been complaining about Vuc shooting 3s, the pick and pop is the most direct counter to the Bucks' drop coverage and he's going to need to make a few. So much needs to go right still to get a win, but I'm just hoping for no blowout loss.

Man you're taking a big L tonight.

The largest playoff win ever is 58 points. I don't think a million point victory is possible.
I'll take the L if the Bulls lose. I'm feeling it tho tonight bud. Bulls going to grab this thing by the balls

And they’re going to grab those balls by the horns!! Deflated balls means they can’t lose!

Bulls starting out like they forgot to come home from Milwaukee.

Might be overreacting. But I don’t see it with PWill. I just don’t.

As bad as it is, it’s one game. It’s a 2-1 series, but yeah…they definitely need to adjust. And like I’ve said before, stop worrying so damn much about giannis…it’s just creating open 3’s for all these shooters the bucks have. Let giannis have his, don’t let Allen and Portis crush you

And for gods sake, billy…get Coby white off the court for good ?

This team really needs to learn what it takes to win playoff games....I thought they did in Milwaukee. It's gotta be that way every game. There is no dispensation just because you are playing at home. Most NBA playoff games are defensive, rough and tumble and physical.

You gotta play that way......EVERY GAME
