I think theyll both be close games in Miami.

I don't know anyone who's actually putting this on Boozer...It's a team loss, imo. I just think Boozy would be more effective playing the same amount of minutes off the bench, where he'd be the #1 scoring option. He can play the same 25-33 minutes he normally does, just play more of them w/ CJ and Korver on the floor.

Pretty much. Our offense was our downfall more than anything. We couldn't hit anything. That combined with the refs and the result was 62% free throw shooting, 34% fg% (though if we had gotten more calls perhaps those numbers would be higher). But at the end of the day...we sucked and that's why we lost.

Well I hope they'll all be like game 1, but chances are they'll be close and we're going to have to execute. We can't just stand around while Rose runs pick and roll. That makes it easy for Miami to pack in the paint and mug him.

I think Thibs is handling Boozer the way he should. He's letting him play and seeing how it goes. Tonight, Boozer was missing easy shots and was getting no lift. He was missing shots that Taj would have been dunking in many cases. And then you factor in Taj's defense and the fact that the margin of error against Miami is small enough that you cant really baby Boozer.

Lets not blame the referees...I can't believe I am reading that...Bulls lost this game because they sucked offensively...and made some bad mistakes at the end...refs not to blame for that...

That actually has some merit. He doesnt seem to mesh well when he's on the floor with Noah...sure Noah will hit him a few times underneath with passes but they seem to get in each others way going for rebounds.

as long as we get that edge back we had in game 1, they cant fuck with us. we didnt get that uptempo sense of urgency till the second quarter and was gone by the 3rd.

This^ Deng was big in the other 9 games we played against other playoff teams and the last one against the heat but where was Boozer? Im just being realestic right now, Boozer hurts on both ends of the court and Taj has been a better D player and offensive players than he has

Im hoping Rose will finish better in more games. Id also expect some of those open 3s to go down more than tonight (but not as much as game 1). I think Taj will play more because there was a stretch tonight were he bothered their shots on every possession for what seemed like 5 minutes.

Agreed but letting Wade heal some more instead of calling a delay of game like you should? What's up with that?

Need to hit the threes more so than the free throws ... Bulls have won or lost all season based on whether Deng/Rose/Bogans/Watson are on or off from three.
(Excluding Korver because whether he shoots well or not seems to have little impact on the Bulls success, the threat of him shooting is worth as much as him actually doing it).

My question about the officials is...who the hell were these guys? I dont pay all that much attention to refs but I dont remember seeing these guys before. I mean there are only 4 teams still playing, why the hell arent the best offcials doing these games?

But at the same time, Boozer got mugged on several shots in the first half. If some of those turn into points, we might have been ahead at the half, maybe the whole game could've been different. I agree that we sucked, but the refs certainly weren't helping. Overall just a bad bad game. Hopefully the worst of the series.

We have to hit both. We make 5 more free throws and a couple 3s and this game is ours.

something that makes me somewhat confident was the offense was so bad that it cant happen again, and we only lost by 10. Make a few more free throws and make the easy shots and I think we are fine.
