Crank

Crawford didnt have a iso play he didnt even have the ball . LD called a timeout because Joe ran out the clock for 3 straight possessions Zaza should have been in but the loss had little to do with Crawford having the ball because he didnt

What are you talking about ? everytime you come with some stupid made up stuff. jamal took two shots in the 4th quarter and one was to beat the clock and on one he was wideopen and missed . he had no turnovers and barely got to touch the ball again ? Did you watch the game ? Do you need video ?

rebound and put the no layup rule in effect

just the way I like it . :D from chicagos paper this morning ..... this is why we start the big lineup and put the hammer to someone early because thats what they are gonna try and do .

What about all the times we did get hit and they didnt call a foul is he gonna admit he shouldve called a foul then too ?

They are mad because they realize that this thing is pretty wide open and we actually have a shot

All Teagues been doing anyway is creating for himself hes not a PG hes a SG in a Pg's body if anything this series has proved that . Not that there is anything wrong with that but please stop saying give him the ball so someone else can get more shots because thats not happening

again you still dont get it . I said nothing about REBOUNDING I said physicality stumbling bumbling idiot Marvin doesnt give us that . We have no one in that frontline willing to throw there weight round in any form or hammer someone when they cone down the lane . We have no presence at all it aint about individual numbers numbers just as it wasnt about numbers in the orlando series. But in that Orlando series we either won the rebounding edge or was within a few rebounds of it in nearly every game. We are getting clobbered because there is no physicality at all and Marvin no matter how much you are trying to talk him up is bring nothing at all and should be never start again for this team again . But physicality aint always about the laying on of the hands though its about the instilling the belief that you will. The Bulls dont buy for one second that Marvin,Al,or Josh will take a hard foul and they play like it . I guarantee you that they know that Collins or Zaza will deliver one . This team is doing the same thing to Rose that they used to do to Dwight sit around and marvel at his greatness instead of making sure they hammer him everytime they had to foul. If you watch Rose hes smiling on every little drive into the lane because hes not being touched at all. Once you give them something to think about well they wont be as quick to the ball and Rose wont be so carefree on his drives .

It aint about that at all its about physicality and whether you like it or not we are a more physical team with Collins or Zaza in there . If the choice is Marvin or Collins/Zaza at this point Im choosing the journeyman centers ever time

lol Hey you there PF dont shoot those long threes and could you maybe grab a rebound because i dont know if they told you but its the second rd of the playoffs and we are playing the team with best record. sometimes all you can do is grab a bottle and sit back and just shake your head

start Zaza or Collins like I said a week ago . The Marvin,Al,Josh frontline should never start for this team again This team cannot handle the "maybe" that comes with starting both Marvin AND Josh. Go big !! Stay big Did anyone not notice how in game one when Zaza and Collins came into the game how suddenly there were bodies hitting the floor all over the place ? enough to make you even ask what are they doing ? but you need that because it gives the opponents pause. Zaza or Collins will always put a body on Noah and will get just as crazy as Noah gets this allows for Josh and Al to crash the boards against the gimpy Boozer and Deng if JJ drops down and help we are golden. If you leave Al at center Josh will play Noah and they both end up being overpowered and outhustled by Noah. I would be really fast with the hook tonight if if Thibs can sit Rose for 7-8 minutes in game one we can sit Josh

Im starting to believe that he shoots those jumpshots out of spite .

IMO AL allowed Joshs antics take him out of the game . When Josh took that three and Al threw his hands up in disgust he was never the same after that and seemed to lose focus the entire team did .

Yeah Derrick Rose didnt beat us I think we cl;early know now that the Bulls are not even a good offensive team . NOAH is who beat us if we had one big who matched his energy and effort level in the paint we wouldve won the game 19 and 14 for Noah 19 and 21 for Josh and Al combined They have basically laid down the challenge that they dont believe that Marvin,Al,and josh can beat them and when its 58-39 on the boards you Thibs is in the lockerroom saying that our frontline is as soft as they come . and when I was saying that Marvin should never start again for this team last weekend they thought I was overreacting ? That we shouldve stayed with the big lineup . ? where Josh plays has no bearing on whether he shoots threes or not Josh shoots them because he wants to. Thats why I wanted at least Zaza to start because it allows us to put a body on Noah at all times and opens the door for Josh and AL to crash the glass . I know that with Zaza and even Collins that when the are in the game bodies are gonna hit the floor. Im not worried just like I wasnt worried against Orlando but some things are so obvious you have to wonder what is going on .

and just turned it over again he has to take him out . just put in Zaza !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recall that too because I think we all had the same reaction as Al They are gonna do there best to make sure that our guards dont beat them Crawford,Joe and Teague have kept us in it but our bigs have to seriously step up .

starting frontcourt 3-18 at the half .

the game is there for the taking and its pretty astonishing that we cant hold onto the ball and we cant rebound 29-19 Bulls killing us on the glass and we have missed about 8 layups by my count

The game is right there for taking do our players even realize that ?

starting frontcourt is 2-16 with 4 minutes left til the half josh had not made a shot tonight why not just pass it to teague in the corner ? too many plays in the first half that are not being finished...how many layups are we gonna miss ? how many rebounds are we gonna mishandle ?

. I may not have the sharpest eye but I couldve sworn JJ and jamal made more than one shot from within 5 ft ? jamal is averaging 20 ppg for the PLAYOFFS and both JJ and jamal are stroking it from three 48% and 46% respectively for the PLAYOFFS. One other thing jamal and JJ were never this aggressive at any time for longer than maybe a game or so during th regular season . They are locked in playoff mode and the analysts really need to stop trying to gauge them based on regular seasons stats . If any of them took the time to actually watch the game instead of looking at the box score they could easily see the difference

Yep he basically did what Kirk did last series a solid all around effort from him . If he can do this consistently he will win me over.

Id use Marvin against Brewer or Korver depending on how they wanted to play it and against Deng in the post when Deng stays with the second unit ' As for a big I would go with Collins depending on who they used off the bench Asik or Thomas

We are only 8 deep so it doesnt matter but one thing I do know that if this team cant afford to get off to its usual slow start with the "regular front line" . If you get down to this team well then having a few extra fouls wont mean a thing

I know for sure that when a shot goes up Zaza will be in the paint and I cant say that about anyone else on our frontline considering the way weve been pounded by this team on the glass adding marvin to the lineup plays right into there hands
