And... we lead the game!

If Trae and JC could hit 3's we'd be so much better off.. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae's aggressiveness on offense sparked that last run.  Like I tell you guys, it doesn't matter if he makes shots sometimes.  If he's aggressive, and they start fouling him, those are points in that possession.

Despite being 4 - 11 FG and 0 - 4 from 3 . . he now has 10 points in the quarter for 14 points total.  And is +8 for the game.

Murray and the boys simply have to do what they need to do at the start of the 4th.

That White dunk....nope. Hawks lead 76-75

12 effin steals by the Bulls against us.

[JayBirdHawk]

[terrell]

Here comes the turnovers.. smh

10 from Trae and JC..

I know Trae is gonna turn it over but 5 from JC is just ridiculous..

You have the patience of Job . Rinse repeat, rinse repeat.

It's the only way he can try to live up to his superstar responsibilities as a scorer.  He has to shoot more to be able to make more shots.  He already has 7 assists, but we're down by 9.  So he needs to score also.

1 - 6 FG is nothing.

He could easily be 6 - 14 going into the 4th quarter, and have close to 20 points.

But you can't score if you don't shoot.

Like I said . .

I just know this team, and I know that an aggressive Trae is always best for the team . . . unless the rest of the guys are just red hot.

[JayBirdHawk]

From a 40 pt 2nd quarter to a 21 pt 3rd quarter- good defense.

Dreaded 4th up next.

That's an illustration why it's not always terrible that Bogd doesn't give it to AJ.

[benhillboy]

Feel free to box out.  Or whatever 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

And this is what I'm talking about.  Dejounte and Bogi, without Trae on the floor, is steadily losing ground.

They have to hold the fort at the very least.
