Game Thread Playoffs - First Round Game 01 - Bucks @ Bulls

I'm saying that Snell was at the table and ready to go in for Dunleavy, but when Rose begged out, Snell subbed in for Rose so the Bulls would have five on the court.

 

That makes no sense.

This is a playoff game and Thibs plays to win. He wouldn't put in Noah at PG just because he happened to be at the table. And I don't think you really know Snell was ready to go in for Dunleavy. I don't think Dunleavy was being pulled, or Mirotic would have come in for him, as he did 5 minutes later:



Don't fire Thenius.

 

Through three long years of knee surgeries and recoveries, the Chicago Bulls waited for this. And when the moment arrived, here is what Derrick Rose did.

He attacked. He played like an MVP, and if he keeps it up, the Bulls will be a tough team to knock out.

Rose had 23 points and seven assists in his first postseason game in three years, Jimmy Butler scored 25 points, and Chicago opened the playoffs with a 103-91 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night.

I have Bulls in 5. I figured they might lose the 2nd game in Milwaukee.

After playing guys 48+ minutes last night, they might be a little tired.

The Bucks have shown they have a lot of athleticism, but they can't sustain the kind of defensive effort required to beat the bulls for 48 minutes. Not even for much more than 12 minutes.
