Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread 1st Round

I expected the Bulls to be leading this series, even without Rose.

I was incorrect.

Man that was a tough loss, very hard to watch them struggle to score like that.

Still 2-1 series is not over.

I thought so too, initially, but looking back, you could see it in the players faces that they KNEW they were done. Referring to the reaction to the Rose injury, obviously.

Philly wins on 34% shooting...smh

The Bulls are finished. They look done. That was a horrible game and one of the worst I've seen this year.

I know it isn't I said leading, they aren't leading.

Did I word something wrong?

Wasn't that the excuse people made the last time that Philly was "lucky" they shot such a high percentage juts pointing that out I love the bulls but without rose they don't have the offense to beat teams.

Nope, I just read it wrong.

It's over man. If Boozer and Deng are going to keep playing like doo doo, it's over. God knows how bad Noah is gonna be. Taj's knee may be bad considering we didn't even see him anymore in the fourth after making that first basket.

Just a damn shame what this season has become.

It's bad, but it is not over. It's pretty ****ing bad, though.

Fair point....a lot of fans were saying that.

Fact is, even though the Bulls have tremendous defense, they go through some tough offensive spots...that's we're your superstar comes in.

All that said, it ain't over yet.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread 1st Round

I wouldn't exactly call it an excuse. Philly is a terrible shooting team, they shot 59 percent. They came in tonight and the Bulls were pretty much shutting them down offensively. Joakim Noah goes down and suddenly the Sixers hit a 19-2 run. That said, you are correct about the scoring drouts that will come 24th. Still, can't discount the impact of Noah not being there when Philly suddenly started to put the ball in the basket.

Exactly.

Don't lose hope Bulls fans, they can still not only win this series but do much more than that.

Highly unlikely but it isn't unreasonable that the Bulls could still get to the ECF and you never know what can happen then. Nothing is etched in stone just yet.
