Announcer says (roughly), "This is not the Bulls' best defensive unit out there, they have scorers out there that have brought them back into the game."
1:46 118-107 NY Thibs did not play Rose, Noah and Deng down the stretch. Saved them for the Celtics game
They should put Rose back in. Noah for Asik would be give them more opportunity at the offensive end as well.
Asik is in. Bulls scored more than the Knicks have been giving up on average. Offense had absolutely nothing to do with losing tonight. Letting the knicks shoot 70% from 3 did...
This was just the Knicks night, I saw contested 3 pointers hit...there wasnt shit we could do about it. The knicks will never shoot over 70% from 3 again. This is just like when Ray Allen set that record for 3s in the finals then disappeared the rest of the series, which I wasnt surprised about (at least for the next game that is). But they were hot, we came back but then they hit more 3s...not much to say
We had 81 shots, they had 80 shots. We had 27 FTA, they had 29 FTA We shot .519, they shot .500 We had 42 rebounds, they had 38 You look at the key numbers and we won. Yet, they shot .667 from 3pt on 24 attempts. We shot .474 from 3pt on 19 attempts. Looks to me like playing guys like Bogans and Brewer didn't help us as much as Korver and his 4-6 3pt and 18 points.
So you basically agree with me that the offense was fine and they lost because they couldn't get the knicks 3pt shooters off of their spots...
