Jose Abreu Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 If the Bulls want to beat Cleveland in the playoffs, each of the following has to happen: -Rose plays like he did last night (which actually isn't too far-fetched) -Butler plays good defense but remains a viable offensive option -Mirotic has to come to play, and not put up 2 points like last night -At least 3 of our top 4 bigs have to be healthy (Portis would slip into the #4 spot) -McDermott and Moore have to continue being solid role players Not impossible, but we'll see.

bmags Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Missed the game last night, nice to see. Still want to see our pace enter top ten or else I don't know what Hoiberg is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 09:08 AM) Yep. And when Snell came in he immediately threw two passes at people looking the other way He also hit a couple of big threes and had one good drive and dish. I think he and McDermott played about equally. My issue with McBuckets is that he's only doing one thing - running around looking to shoot a three. I wish he'd add some more to his game.

bmags Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Honestly won't get excited about Bulls until I see meaningful changes in offense. This team is still slow and plodding, with everyone watching isos. If he really can improve pace and get th eball moving (Dunleavy is the best on the team at this), I'll get on board. Would love to trade for a PG and get Portis involved. I still don't think we have the players to run this offense, seems like a me-too move.

All that could happen and they would still lose. They will never, ever beat a LeBron James-led team when it counts. Only western conference teams do that.

I don't disagree with your ultimate point, but the absolute/extreme language just makes you sound like a troll. This is sports. There are no guarantees. How many times have you given absolute predictions that never happen. Weren't you the one saying Lebron would have 5-6 rings by now? The Heat would win more than 72? How'd that work out?

Chisoxfn Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 07:31 PM) Pretty good win there actually. In the first I thought OKC was running away with it. Yeah, whatever happened between the 1st and the 2nd, changed when Rose showed up. He played far more aggressive beginning in the 2nd quarter and the Bulls offense took off.

Chisoxfn Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 By the way, the overall team movement was much improved as well yesterday. Less ISO / 1 on 1 and a lot more movement and Rose even had a few pretty dishes (as did others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
