The starters have been f'ing horrible. They're all in - numbers. The bench has been barely better, but still, better none the less. Why have they not played more. Bad coaching and bad playing = this game tonight
Devin Harris is unconscious tonight in the fourth. I think he traveled on that 4 point play that started it though.
Defense and bad shot selection quickly ended this game. Someone needs to help Rose on the pick, We need to stop taking so many fuckin jumpers, and we need to start driving more, and have players move around without the ball in case we get stopped in the lane.
Sad thing is they were doing that for the most part through three quarters. There was a hiccup at the start of the third, but the bulls went on a run after Hinrich took over. Rose came in Devin ate him up. And the offense turned into quick shots. Tyrus was taking way too many 20 footers, and early 20 footers. These guys make me want to pull my hair out. Basically one guy beat them. And Bobby Simmons...
Yeah, defense was embarrassing on D Harris. IMO, Something needs to change cause just benching Derrick is not working. Miami benched Beasly and it forced him to learn and practice defense. He is a better player for it. I know that Rose is our future, but it's clear he is not learning how to defend. Every game he's making the same mistakes. What's the use of benching him if he just comes in and makes the same mistakes. This game was so frustrating..I don't understand the thinking in why Tyrus played so much. I guess VDN went with his "I'm not going to take out a guy just cause he's playing bad" theory. He took us out of rhythm and then everyone took his lead and just started playing one on one. You take out Tyrus early then you nip it in the bud.
