    Pray that Rose shoots 20-32 instead of 10-32.

    Deng and Boozer both have to show up to play in the same game, too.

    Boozer actually played good, but I do agree that we need the rest of the team to show up.

    It'd also be nice if the refs would actually call the game appropriately.

    I bitched a storm in the game thread about the officiating. But I was listening to Basketball Jones today and the J.E. Skeets mentioned that he through the refs were missing calls in favor of the Bulls. It goes to show you -- this may just be my homerism coming out.

    As far as adjustments Thibodeau can make:

    -- Don't play Derrick Rose the entire fourth quarter without a break.
    -- Don't have Korver guard Jeff Teague in the fourth quarter, when he did just fine on Jamal Crawford in Game2.
    -- Keep track of your timeouts and players' fouls.

    Can I disagree with JE Skeets?... A big part of Boozer's problems has been the phantom touch foul calls he is getting. And I am not talking about the dumb push in the back rebounding fouls, either. How can a guy who religiously plays 4 feet off of his man get in foul trouble so often? Can anybody explain that? He's good for one of those phantom calls a half.

    Thibs had Korver on Teague to give Rose a little bit of a rest since Jamal never makes it past the free throw line without jacking up a jumper... which goes back to the 'don't play Rose the whole second half'.

    I wonder if the team ever sent that clip of Bosh flailing and falling down when Boozer moved toward him but was about half a foot away from making contact? Good illustration of your point.
