To be honest, it's not a bad thing to see Indy win one at home. They get to give their fans a win and go back to Chicago where the Bulls get to win the series in front of their home fans. The Bulls starters aside from Noah are are 15-43. The bench has contributed 14 points on 5-13 shooting. Noah is getting his points and rebounds off all the misses. Deng looks like shit. 40 minutes and only 11 points on ~33% shooting, while his guy is killing us (Granger 9-16, 9 boards, 4 assists, 20 points). For those who question why some of us are not full blown believers in Deng as a top SF, look at Granger and you see one who's better. The guy can drive, get his own shot, shoot from range and score inside.
No not a bad thing. Bad thing to see the Bulls playing the way they are playing tonight. Hopefully the Bulls finding a way to make that a close game again. Win or not. I want to see a close game. I don't want to see the Bulls losing by 15+points.
Thibs really should take out out best players and give the bench the rest of the minutes. This one is so over.
Again I don't want to see the Bulls blown out so badly by the Pacers. Thibs should do what is best to make this game at least close again.
