i'm not sure how many more of these gut wrenching games I can take. Good to see Boozer had another decent game, albeit in limited minutes. Deng played huge and how about the Gibson-Asik pairing down the stretch. I thought they were doomed when Thibs didn't take Rose out to start the fourth, but if this team is going to get anywhere, somebody else has to step up and let Rose have a breather on the offensive end.
I know right. I need the Bulls to close this series out for my own health. I'm done with the Hawks now. I was yelling awfully loud at the television when Thibodeau left Rose in. That's playing unnecessarily with fire.
Amazing that Teague could be 8-11 from the field and 5-7 from the line and still be -14, worst on the team. As good as he looks offensively, he absolutely does nothing to Rose defensively.
I'm sure it has more to do with rotations. When Rose is in the game Teague is in the game. Teague isn't great on defense, but he does run Rose off three hundred screens on offense . . . which is why Rose has been running out of gas at the ends of games in this series.
We won despite the fact that Noah and korver did not score. Kyle did not take a shot, and Noah had just two shot attempts.
I didn't worry so much during this game as all the others. We were in control the whole way. The other games were almost entirely like the part I circled. They were playing Johnson, Smith, Teague, Horford, Zaza, and Crawford (the first four almost the whole of Q3) to catch up against us when we were playing Asik, GIbson, Brewer, Deng, and Rose. They ran out of gas just to tie the game against our bench.
Once again Denny, I encourage you to watch the games. If you think that Teague is forcing Rose into bad shooting nights, I encourage you to find a new hobby.
