Its a Chicago thing.


New York fans are probably the worst of a fanbase though.

I have a serious question.

I'm not a huge NBA fan. I watch the Bucks by standings and listen to Skip and Stephen A talk for hours about 3-4 specific players.

But I have watched the entire Bulls/Bucks series. Milwaukee could easily be up 3 games to 2.

So the question. Are the Bulls not great or are the Bucks actually good?

IMO the bucks are actually good, but everyone else on here for the most part will say the opposite :shrug:

The Bucks are good. They're elite defensively and are very well coached.

The Bucks are a great defensive team that lack offensive options.

The Bulls have an offense this year with many options, but only care to play defense when they feel like it.

They also don't have great offensive coaching so they get bogged down.

Kidd has vastly out coached Thibs the past 3 games.. Chicago escaped 1 of them and nearly escaped the series with a sweep. Now they're in fucking trouble because Thibs likely has zero idea what to do now.

People on here were pretty confident we'd win game 4 and 5 too.
I wasn't all that confident about Game 4... Game 5 though I felt a shaky confidence...I had a bad feeling going into the game. Glad the Bulls didnt prove me wrong! (deep sarcasm).

After watching last night, I'm not sure the Bulls can win another game. They look old and broken down, while the Bucks are athletic as hell and don't seem to realize that the Bulls are supposed to win this series. Hope I'm wrong, but I've got a BAD feeling about the rest of this series.

lol, if you are saying the bucks are a good team. the bulls are disfunctional. Rose is dumb and this is coming from one of his biggest supporters. Noah is a bad fit with the starting line-up. And a shell of his self. At a 100% Noah dosen't fit with the starters. Thibbs is a soft coach. He wants to be these guys friend instead of there coach. This is childs play that is beating the bulls. Poor spacing, bad passing, bad chemistry(noah), terrible defense( Rose,Gasol,Noah). Just sad.

and YOU are the typical pampered, entitled bulls fan it sounds like if you wont even acknowledge the bucks are a good team. and thibs a "soft" coach is a pretty laughable statement as well. go back to the basement and put your tin foil hat back on

Tbh, the only thing I've been confident in was that the Bulls were eventually going to stink it up.

I just wish they stunk it up in like...game 2 or game 4 or something so that it didn't seem like we're coming apart at the seams.

I told some people the other day, next year with jabari parker back healthy, this bucks team will be the #4 seed in the east. they of course all laughed(this was when the bulls were up 3 - 1).

Make no mistake, poor play by the Bulls is far more to blame for what we're seeing than the Bucks tearing it up. The shooting and turnovers have been downright atrocious at times. What difference does it make, though? Losses are losses. Looking lost on offense for large stretches against a good D is crippling. Milwaukee's offense sucks, so they should be able to overcome that, though. They need to match Milwaukee's defensive intensity, and I am amazed Thibs can't get them to do that. This team looks broken right now, and even if they were to squeak out this series (I think they might in Game 7 at home when the chips are down), Cleveland will beat them badly (even without Love). This sucks.

Milwaukee is taking advantage of the fact that defensive 3 seconds is almost never called in the playoffs and are packing the paint. The Bulls play right into their hands by constantly forcing the ball inside into double and triple teams causing a ton of turnovers which turn into fast breaks. The Bulls have to hit some jumpers to pull the Bucks out but they are not hitting them. Thibs better ask himself if he wants them to see heavy pressure inside or just take the open jumper....it don't take a genius to see that going inside ain't getting it done.
