Can't believe the Bulls are allowing this front running ass team swag on them like this

lol, they in the media begging for Taj to be suspended - it's disgusting , white boy acting al innocent and shyt. I'm so mad right now , this team arghhhhhhhhh

Rose moving fast as he can on that fast break and Bron just on stealth mode.

Rose is LEbrons BIATCH

everytime they play Lebron ensures Rose doesn't get off inside or when he's guarding him. Anytime Rose drives to the basket, it's an auto-block by Lebron. I never seen Lebron beat someone's shot so much, it's like he salivates just waiting for Rose to make that move.

and another thing @Gil Scott-Heroin that bullshyt high pick and roll with Noah coming out on the perimeter doesn't fukkin work - it's stupid

they attack Noah on that, anytime Noah puts the ball on the ground they attack him. No why, because he is no threat at center to drive to the basket. Even if he did, he would be able to covert it. So basically, Thibs is doing that to bring the Center but the center is just sagging off. The rim protection for Cavs Center is like 30% if i read correctly, it's because of that stupid play and Noah. Put Noah in the post, bring him out to set picks and he needs to roll his ass back in the post. Why are you bringing your best rebounder out of the play by having him work on the perimeter where he cannot score and where potentially they can guard him with smaller players.

It's idiotic and it's not working.

the only thing Thibs has done for the bulls is overachieve in the regular season, thus ensuring we never get any reasonable draft picks.

The thing I have with thibs is, I understand where he coming from in a lot of the moves he making (will never understand no snell with jimmy 2 early fouls) but you can try shyt, but if you see its not working or its resulting in bad turnovers switch it up.

The noah thing worked in the reg see last season but was exposed heavily in the Washington series. It should have been canned from that point on. Instead even with noah having half of our total turnovers thibs still allows this set. It makes no sense. It should never happen.

Thibs has this thing where he only sees one way. Still putting kirk our there, not at least attempting to see if Etwan or snell can give you something especially since Jr smith is eating kirk for lunch. None of that makes any sense to continue that when you have a series worth of evidence it don't work. Thibs seems to hope the dead clock will have the right time at least twice that day. He makes no sense sometimes.

He's been the bulls 3rd best player this series behind rose and buckets, that's the problem

With gasol injured, Who were you expecting to be the bulls 3rd best player

Dunleavy is a veteran minimum player, a situational player at best - so yeah pretty much anyone else

Whole conference laughing at our blandness/stubbornness

opposing players throughout the Eastern Conference, even ones who were/are in these playoffs, say they have the Bulls scouted to the T largely because they adhere so strictly to called plays. "If the Bulls could avoid having all those six-, seven-minute scoring droughts they'd probably be the best team in the league, but they can't," one Eastern Conference veteran told me Sunday night. "And we all know every single thing they're going to run. ... Some nights they just execute at a level you can't stop, but you can't do that all the time in the playoffs, not against well-coached teams that lock in defensively."

Niko, noah, taj or brooks

Pau is playing tomorrow night, no clue what he can provide us with his hamstring, but this should help our confidence somewhat

 

[///Vega+++]

Noah is offensively challenged. He can't make simple lay ups.

he's an embarrassment
they should trade him asap

that could entirely be the case as well, however, the result has been no different when Scott Skiles and Vinny were here except better regular season records - back when Rose was a rookie and 1st year player and John Salmons and Ben Gordon were still on the team lol. We had 1st round exits and since then nder thibs - while defense has improved, we continue having 1st round exits. 1 trip to the ECF and no championship games

Gee I wonder why yall keep having 1st round exits - could it be due to the fact that Rose has been injured for the last three seasons?

Vinny and Skiles would've been fired the season after Rose tore his ACL (or even before that since the Bulls wouldn't have made it to the ECF). If Rose was healthy, yall would have gone to just about every ECF for the last four/five seasons with the possibility of making one Finals appearance.

you're probably right, but that's not what happened and even without Rose we should have been better than a 1st round exit. Thibs is better than Vinny and Skiles but he's has enough flaws on offensive that makes him expendable. His total ineptness on offense is atrocious and an insult to basketball.
