No doubt a win streaking loss hurts us really bad but that's what happens in a short season so my question to you guys are which loss told. us more about the Bulls? The warriors or the hawks?

There are going to be games like tonight with the screwy schedule. And then you add to that the fact that Atlanta was 9/12 from 3, you just need accept that something like this is going to happen from time to time.

I will say, however, that Jimmy Butler did really well for himself. In that respect, more might have been learned tonight than in the GS loss.

Nothing. Losses like this happen.

I call games like this trap games. Trap games are games the Bulls should win, but the other team is simply too hot and there is nothing you can do about it. The GS game was a trap game also. If we lose to a better team, that's one thing, but this is just one of those things that happens. The Bulls should've won this game having beat ORL last night, and ATL had played 3 games in a row (going to OT in both games, one being 3OT) but they got into ATL at 2:30am, and looked tired and lethargic.

Chalk it up and move on, we got Detroit tomorrow and can make it up this week with only one tough game against Boston and a trap game against the craptors.

Yeah, I don't get how Jimmy cant get any playing time though. The kid looks good and I hope Thibs can see that too. He would only help our bench. depth not hurt it. I think Jimmy is on the same boat as Asik was last year, he's a rookie so no time. Which is ridiculous honestly...

I hope the Bulls don't throw him away like they did James Johnson.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Bulls
The Golden State loss. Hands down. We didn't solve the DRose shut down method last year, and we haven't solved it this year. Every team that is capable of using the trap on Derrick, has been able to do it well.

Charlotte did it well, Atlanta used the same tactic. This is what we need to learn. Not from the game in entirety, but the high zone press and trap.

That most likely won't happen. Butler is mature, hard-working, & dedicated to the game. Isn't it amazing how going all 4 years in a college system prepares you better for the NBA? :smug:

The Atlanta game taugh em they can walk by teams every night. Even though Atlanta is one of those crappy teams that seem to bring it when your team isn't at it's best.

Yes. That being said, it makes Butler's addition to the team look great. He has been great to watch thus far.
