IGT: BULLS vs Heat Thursday April 9th @ 7:00pm on WPWR and TNT

I don't understand this team.

Also, Rose was on the floor for much of that 3rd quarter run. He was still playing when the cut it to 12 I think. It was a lot of Dunleavy's shooting that gave us the lead, but I can't quite remember. Either way, yay we won?

The game as a whole was ridiculously physical. The refs didn't really call anything for anyone all night.

Fantastic effort by the Bulls in the 2nd half. This is how I expect them to play down the stretch. Great job! I also love stickin it to the Heat, even tho LJ isn't there anymore. Rose did OK too, his shot obviously still sucks, but you can tell he's winded with how flat and short his shots are.

It was just nice to see some quickness from him. I was impressed with his playing back to back. I say we start giving him 30 minutes on Sat and get him going a little bit. It's so frustrating watching the Bulls sometimes, but when they string some quarters like this 2nd half, it get's me going again.

I still think when they play well like this that they can beat anyone. I guess we're gonna find out soon enough as the playoffs grow near!

This is how it's gonna be soon in the playoffs. God forbid if we play Washington again, it'll be fisticuffs....again.

It won't matter if the Bulls match the physicality. They still whine about every foul they think they should get. They should've realized by the end of the first that they weren't going to get anything.

:dontsay:

SO THEYRE NBA PLAYERS?

Rose's shot has always been flat though

Sometimes I'm not convinced they are

I do not even know what to make of this team.

Need to get some consistency in these next couple of games.

I hate the whining about fouls. The ref's do as well. This also starts with Thib's who is the worst offender of this, imo. It's one of the things that irritates me about Thib's. I think a good coach calmly makes a point to the refs at the right time, instead of yelling like a madman.

Part of me wants revenge against Wash. I certainly don't think Wash is the same team as they were last year. They really miss Arizo,imo. Nene has also played like shit, imo. They will come out and try to mame the Bulls, however.

They completely took the Bulls out of their game last year. I don't think that would happen this year, but it definitely be physical and take it's toll on the Bulls a little tho. But like I said, I'm kinda up for kicking their ass a little.

Rose's shot has always been flat though

Not always, especially not like tonight. I saw him shoot a line drive right at the rim tonight. That was flat for even him.

hopefully this is the turning point although it should have happened awhile ago

if they come out and look like they got better things to do again this season i will lose all hope in this team

'Turning point' indeed. They obviously had a heated meeting at halftime in this game. These are just the types of things that are a turning point. Hopefully someone got up in front of everyone and went off, and hopefully the message sticks from here on out!!!!

Thibs is awesome. Did a great job with adjustments in the 3rd.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what his rotation and subs are in the playoffs. I admit, as a Thib's homer, I've lost a little confidence this season, but I'd Love to see him, and the Bulls, put it together this off season!!!

 

[SilenceS]

Rose looked pretty good in that run. He was attacking the rack. His 3 looked like shit though

 

[clonetrooper264]

Perhaps lost in the mess that was the lack of consistency...Snell did a dang good job on Wade. Don't care if Wade is old or whatever you think he is. Snell didn't give him an inch. Hinrich actually did pretty decent on Dragic too.

Bulls gonna let Whiteside murder them again.

I give Gasol a lot of credit in this game. He came out with some fire in his eyes after being embarrassed by Whiteside in the previous game. He was a big difference in the game. And, is Bob Cousy getting senile these days? Comparing Whiteside to Bill Fucking Russell? Someone had to spike Cousy's Ensure with heroin or something!

 

[The Hawk]

What do you think about John Calipari? :dunno:

You two guys are nuts.

 

[The Hawk]

Talking about conspiracy...... I'm really wondering if the Bulls are trying to Lose. Did you see that shot by Taj from the free throw line. It really looked like he was trying to miss it. It was a major brick and in Bulls fashion, he banked it in. :dunno:

You are an idiot. YOu are "wondering" if the Bulls are trying to lose? When that little girl on your JV team caught you with her elbow, did it rattle you so much that your brains became jello? You sure as shit know nothing about the Bulls let alone basketball. The notion that anyone on the Bulls would intentionally tank a game is stupid. Bringing in Rose is tough enough, but people also need to remember that Gibson missed a lot of games also recently and is trying to regain his game. He missed a damned dunk for cripes sake in that game.

This is a tough situation for the Bulls and clearly they haven't figured it out yet in regard to finding a smart rotation and finding a good harmony. This, I think, will be Thibs toughest job yet as a head coach and no one can know if it will work out. The parts, conceivably are all there but every time the logical starters get back on the court together, one or more of them go out with an injury. It really is an amazing situation.

 

[The Hawk]

Gasol has a tough matchup in Whiteside. He's the only vet that has been winning games down this playoff stretch.

Umm. How many games have they lost in this play-off stretch?
