Bulls vs Cavs

Not sure I want to look. This could be a trainwreck. Delonte West already has two buckets and an assist in the first 3 minutes with BG guarding him.

 

We aren't doing as bad as I thought. We play 2 times better when we pass the ball around.

 

Wow...the Bulls are playing amazing right now. They look the best that they ever have this season in this game.

 

Thabo and Hinrich move the ball the best of anybody on the bulls. Probably because the don't want to shoot it.

 

Perhaps...but then again I think that they are both decently skilled passers overall.

Thabo and Hinrich's shooting have improved.

 

Now that the Cavs seemingly have nobody left to post up BG and the bulls are moving the ball, the bulls look like they have a shot.

 

We have a shot...it's just been a slight momentum shift in the last few mins...I am sure we can do another rally.

 

West out with a fractured wrist and head contusions and lacerations. Hopefully we play the Cavs again soon since they seem to be running out of weapons.

 

I won't doubt Lebron yet in this game..but it looks like the Bulls have learned how to contain him a little bit more, too.

The Bulls need to get Kirk and Thabo back in at the same time...our best ball movement occurs when they are in the game.

Once we gain our momentum back then bring in BG and then DRose.

So: Kirk, Thabo, Noc, Gooden, Noah
Get good lead and then
Kirk, Gordon, Noc, Gooden, Tyrus
Let play for a bit and then bring:
DRose, Gordon (or Kirk), Deng, Gooden, Noah

All of these lineups are high energy.

 

Joakim Noah showing some damn attitude!

 

Good pass by Gordon to Deng for easy fastbreak layup!!

 

Gotta get Kirk back in the game for better defense. We are playing good offense though.

 

Vinny get Thabo back in here!

 

The way these guys are playing is giving me hope that there is something more than development that can be achieved this season.

 

And no, Tyrus hasn't been struggling.

 

I don't see the ball movement with Thabo. He clogs up the offense imo.

But what Kirk has brought to the Bulls is kick and drive offense. Derrick Rose is surprisingly terrible at playing kick and drive, and with Kirk back in the lineup, that aspect of the team has come back.

 

The defense by TT and Deng on Lebron has been better than I'd expect. Those guys are getting it done against the best player in the league.

 

How do you trade Kirk Hinrich? He's reinvigorated Luol Deng, and the team as a whole.

 

Spit freezing before it hits the ground, BG giving up the ball on a two on one and not forcing shots, Deng hitting mulitple 3's, Tyrus playing within himself, the bulls beating a good team. The world is obviously coming to an end.

 

Simply amazing. I should have bought tickets to this game instead of the Blazers game. I was deciding between those two games, and figured the Cavs would cream the Bulls.
