Game 4 IGT: Chicago Bulls @ Milwaukee Bucks (Bulls lead series 3-0) 4/25/15 4:30PM

We need to clean up all these turnovers before the next round.

Both Rose & Jimmy have allowed their guys to score at critical stages of the last couple games.

Rose went from being hero to villain in 4 plays. First he hit the 3 to bring us within 2, then he sent a great pass to Gasol to tie the game, then he got stripped on a potential game winner, & then he lost his man that went on to score the game winner ... lol.

I know that Jimmy was very hot, but I'm not sure that I can argue against the decisions by Thibs in the last minute of the game.

They should have called a timeout. Simple as that.

In fact Thibs and Noah both signaled for timeouts, but refs didn't se eit, then Thibs just went with it.

But with Hinrich and Noah out there, I would have called a timeout and gotten an offensive lineup in.

Oh well. Gotta hope this doesn't come back to bite them.

 

[Axl Rose]

yup not getting a TO was a huge mistake

thibs had one of his worst displays of coaching last night...hopefully hes adjusted for game 5

want to see less noah, less jumbo and hopefully less turnovers

That last offensive set by Thibs was awful. Still didn't hear in the post game is Rose expected backside help there or not. When he first turned it looked like the thought someone was supposed to be there.

Thibs is a great defensive coach but with what we have on offense we should be much more creative and much better in the half court. Even with our full squad way too many possessions are ground out rather tahn having any sort of flow to them. We shouldn't have to be working SO hard to get quality looks with Rose, Noah, Gasol, Butler on the floor together.

theres some truth to that, but you also have to take into account the bucks ARE the #2 defense in the league and give them some credit

Butler cut over the top behind Rose bringing Middleton down to make that swat at Rose which then did cause the steal. That was the problem with that final play there... Thibs should have tried harder to get a TO IMO though. Leaving Kirk and Noah on the floor wasn't a good idea.

He probably had the same mentality that I did which was "there's no way Rose will dribbling into 3 defenders and turn the ball over"

IN A GAME WHERE THEY ALREADY HAVE 27 TURNOVERS? NO NEVER!

ugh.

I did take that into account. The set was garbage.
