Thanks 4 doing my job this season Clone! :snoop:

 

[Icculus]

Time to lose by twenty. OTOH without Kirk they might have a chance in this one.

 

[Crystallas]

WGN broadcast is choppy as hell for me. Anyone else getting that?

Yeah, pretty much unwatchable for me. Nice job WGN. :smh:

 

[Crystallas]

Seems fixed.

 

[Bear Pride]

Game back on for me .... Snell should be making Thib's realize that Kirk is obsolete by now, imo, at least as a starter. I still like Kirk as a 3rd option now.

 

[KingDarude7]

Butler such a beast. Gasol looking real good tonight to

 

[Bear Pride]

Nice 1st quarter for the Bulls. I liked the early substitution by Thib's as well. Thib's has a tendency to stick with the same BS lineup until the end of the 1st or close.

 

[BNB]

This team is so mediocre haha

 

[RoseMVP1]

We slayed the dragon

 

[BNB]

We got so lucky hahaha

 

[maestro]

I am glad I only watched the last 2 minutes of this game. :buttrock:

 

[YFC]

I didn't watch the game. Anybody can tell me wtf happend in the 2nd quarter? Rose on brick mode again?

 

[Crystallas]

Snell shot us out of the game. Then our stars made it happen.

 

[Naptastic]

Crazy ending. Just another example of how the bulls are so talented when they apply themselves. No effort, and they blow a fifteen pt lead. Play with effort, and they go on a 7-0 to steal the game.

 

[Naptastic]

Also, pretty crazy that Snell got more minutes than Rose. He must be better than rose.

Rose didn't shoot so well either. But fortunately others did and Rose didn't take a ton of shots. Both teams shot around 48%.

It could be the Hawthorne Effect or maybe Orlando just matches up well with Chicago.

Rose had 11 assists though. Making his teammates better. Forget about scoring right?

We're not at the point of who matches with who yet.

This team is still battling out of an identity crisis. A coach that doesn't know when to put in hungry players when his go-to guys kick it into an ineffective cruise control.


But whatever criticisms that may be. Adjustments are being made. Just nowhere near as fast as we would like them to be. Plus, Derrick, bad shooting sure, is still improving different parts of his game. Once he's able to put it all together, once Joakim can run the court for a whole game, and once any one of Snell, Niko, or McDermott are reliable on a game to game basis, then the whole identity of this team is so different, that the match-ups will not be a problem, but the strategy to contain. We'll see. Last season we didn't have an identity crisis, we just didn't have the sheer power to put away good teams. This year, we have every tool, but not the identity to realize it.

Such frustration, much pain.
