But can he challenge a non-call on Giannis? I took a look at the rule book and it says you can't challenge non-calls. Challenge Pat's foul, maybe the refs take a harder look at Giannis? Also, at the very least, challenge the call on Zach when Middleton drew the charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - that was a really poor charge call - Middleton was really moving and unset. In general though - it all goes back to what I have been saying for 2 months - Derozan went from a very unselfish player to a complete and utter ball hog over the past couple months and it has been a disaster. So much stagnation etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much stagnation etc. I actually thought the movement in game 1 was much better, they generated a ton of open 3s but just cannot hit them. Also man tristan thompson was the worst signing. Just absolutely miserable as soon as he sets foot on the court. I was just happy it was competitive and they had a shot to win. Really difficult time now for two years where suddenly the all star break hits and its this completely lethargic, terrible team that is a 180 from a fun team prior. And it's completely different players this year, not sure why these epic collapses have occurred like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree ball movement was a bit better - but you just see how when it goes to Derozan there is very little movement. I was glad, as poorly as Vuc shot, that they gave him that many shots. If they are to win this series, they need to get Vuc the touches that he is putting up a lot of shots. If he does that - than the rest of the offense should naturally flow better.

You could squint and see some of the first half bulls. Not doing that "if lonzo was here" but the first half bulls esp of December were a bit of everyone inserting their own flavor. Caruso created a loose ball in like 4 straight possessions in the 4th yesterday and felt like the bulls only converted one of those breaks into points. What does that look like with Lonzo there? I hope there is still some bit of that team fight in there. But if nothing else hope I never see TT as a bull again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of that was his shooting was bad - but just watch the game closely and look at what the rest of the Bulls do when Derozan gets the ball (especially Lavine). There were mutliple times yesterday where all Derozan had to do was make a quick pass and you had Lavine/Vuc wide open for 3. Not saying either of them would have made the shots. The defense though got better and looked much more like shades of the good Bulls team for this season vs. another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonzo's such a massive key to this team, but also big shoutouts to DJJ (like you called a few months ago). I was shocked and relieved to see him get burn last night.

chw42 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Refs really tried to give the Bucks that game. Vuc was actually awesome. DeMar was amazing, and Zach made some timely 3s. I would have liked to see some better defense late in the game. There were way too many easy baskets in the paint for the Bucks. Once Vuc got into foul trouble for the 2 BS calls on him in the span of a minute, the defense was not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Caruso was nails (other than I needed one of those 3s to fall)…but man that d was so nice. Looked a lot more like the fun Bulls from the first half. And yes - with Vuc in foul trouble they ceded the paint late. Don’t stop now boys!!! Let’s go Bulls!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
