Bulls were 6-13 free throws. Warriors made 19-23. That's a 13 point difference right there. As bad as the Bulls played tonight they would've won the game if they were just even on the free throws.
I'm not blaming it all on the refs. I don't think the Bulls were aggressive enough getting in the paint, and took too many bad low percentage shots.
It's my fault we lost because I fell asleep in the 2nd half.
But shit like this is nothing new. The effect isn't there against mediocre-to-bad teams. Especially on the road:
LAC
Char (twice)
NY (twice)
@NJ
@Phil
@GS
That's 8 of their 15 losses right there. And the bad news is that the Bulls have a lot more road games than home games remaining. The defensive intensity is not quite the same on the road against "sub-par" teams. And the offensive aggressiveness and execution is poor as hell; few trips to the line and lazy passing leading to turnovers and easy points for the opposition. And way too much settling for jumpers....
