Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 4, 2012 -> 09:51 PM) Horrible execution, bad coaching. Nobody really stepped up late in the game. Plus, why didn't Watson play at all in the 4th? JL3 did nothing but dribble out the shot clock and take horrible shots. It's just reality. You don't win in this league without stars. The Bulls have no go-to guy. Nobody that can create something out of nothing. This isn't the Pistons or Wizards in February. Philly is a very energetic, long and athletic defensive team. The Bulls don't do that well with those types even with Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You watch this game, and it wasn't like it was one when the Bulls were winning that you thought "heck yes, they're back on track and going to blow through the rest of the playoffs".

UH WHAT ABOUT WITHOUT ROSE, GIBSON, AND NOAH, AND WITH DENG PLAYING WITH ONE WRIST AND CLEARLY RUINED? Jesus, get a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need more play-makers and a little bit more athleticism. They more than compensate against most teams because of their size. But these track teams always give them fits.

He ran these players completely dead tired, and the team is breaking down in the playoffs. His balls to the walls, no-holds barred, must win every game attitude has caught up to him. You just can't play like that in a crazy season like this with b2b2b games and 4 games in 5 nights and 5 games in a week. Humans need f***ing rest. I like the way Thibs coaches, but he did not adjust on the fly. The players are breaking down, and for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Until the entire team got injured they were playing well. If Taj wasnt able to go as well as Noah, they just really dont have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 4, 2012 -> 10:02 PM) They could just use Derrick Rose. Obviously. I'm just saying. You look at the Miami series last year. You look at some of their losses this year: Grizzlies, Nuggets, Thunder. All track teams. I hate to say it, but this is all on Thibs. He ran these players completely dead tired, and the team is breaking down in the playoffs. His balls to the walls, no-holds barred, must win every game attitude has caught up to him.

Popovich was brilliant in how he was able to get through this season with his team physically unscathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats how its going to be, if the Bulls kept it close in game two they would've gotten those calls too, but they didnt. Gotta go out and win game 4. It had zero to do with bulls*** "athleticism" or any of that crap. Hard fought game, calls down the stretch at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop whining about the refs all the time. s*** is tired and played out. Take that crybaby s*** to the lame college thread. The Sixers have guys who can put the ball on the floor and make s*** happen. They were the more aggressive team in the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) hint to fellow Bulls fans, the postseason ended last Saturday, just a matter of if we can get past a garbage Philly team, pull an unlikely win vs Boston and eventually get a horrific stomping by Miami, we are done. Relax folks, it's over, I've accepted it and I'm at peace... I agree with the poster who said Thibs has run the team down, what he does with Deng is inexcusable, you got Butler for f***s sake, use him you asshole! /rant Back to enjoying life.

I like the way Thibs coaches, but he did not adjust on the fly. The players are breaking down, and for good reason. Gotta disagree with you slightly. Yeah, there were times where he rode players, particularly Deng, pretty hard and coulda sat them more at the ends of games. BUT they NEED any slight edge they can get in order to have a chance to beat the heat, particularly home court. So, I disagree with criticizing the need to go for the best record, but yeah, there were definitely times where certain players could be rested more, particularly with such a capable bench. Anyways, I only watched maybe about 5 minutes of last game and none of this one. Just can't. Too depressing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
