Why no attacking the rim? Not to parrot Stacey King, but seriously all the bulls did was stand on the perimeter. Dwight Howard was gone for crying out loud. The game plan on this sucked beyond belief.
And seriously, this team has no passion. They show the bench and rose is lost daydreaming. They better have just made a pact to go Lakers style and then get their shit together come playoffs.
Passionless. The Bulls have been this way from day one, and I've commented on it before.
My little theory on what's going on is the core players are pissed at the FO about Deng. There is also a lot of tension between the core players and Gasol. I don't think bringing him in was a popular move with Rose, Noah, Taj and Butler. There's not a lot of comraderie or trust between factions of the team right now.
Jalen Rose even commented that there seems to be locker room issues and suggested the Bulls hang out and eat dinner together after games. It was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but it's not hard to see these guys don't really like each other much.
