they aint shit, one point, we gave them a fucking headstart with rose and his two fouls, we dont have deng, we dont have cj, and they beat us barely by a couple of points, a couple of fucking points, they aint shitl….wait till the playoffs, just wait….this aint shit, they aint shit…fuck lebron fucking choker…..damn
they were standing there waiting for the bulls to come over and say “good game.” the bulls all walked out to the locker room without congratulating any of them.
their is a big difference between the end of a regular season game and the end of a playoff series. At the end of a playoff series everyone shakes hands
on that possession where the Bulls put up like 6 attempts.
He also missed a breakaway layup off a feed from Rose, and stopped a la Rondo on a chase down by lebron but made up for it by hitting a short jumper instead
It's amazing that people bring up that NCAA title game and FTs...
…when Derrick actually went 3/4 from the line and 34/44 in the tourney. He went 4/9 against Miss St, but never missed more than one in the other five games.
not only did we hang with them. We hung with them at their best. This was one of lebron’s best games so far, bosh had a great game, wade had a great game. And we only lost by 4 points (really two) with an off RIP, a mediocre Boozer, John Lucas, no Deng, no CJ, a gassed out Rose, and a mildly warm Korver.
Am I crazy to think that we actually may be the better overall team?
I’m just saying we were saying the same thing about Boozer in last year’s ECF, and he has a propensity to disappear in big games. Maybe he will never show up against the Heat
Nah, Rip sucking it up on offense today (poor shooting, turnovers, bad passes, bad decisions on defense towards the end) is a lot more to blame than Booz today, I'm sorry.
Rip is in his mid 30s, played really good defense, and is getting paid 5 mil a year. Boozer is in his prime, played awful defense, and is getting paid more than anyone else on the team except rose.
I can forgive Rose for the free throws. He was too insane throughout the day and the sole reason we were even close enough at the end. Jo stepped up, but we’ll need to be at full strength to win the series.
Anyone notice how theyre calling it a rivalry as of now
Even though this has been going on for a few years. Like the 06 and 07 playoffs. We’ve also had some chippy reg season games with them in the pre-LeBron era. Not to mention all the
playoff series in the 90s.
1) Rose can’t play the way he does for an entire 45 minutes, it’s just too much. He has to exert so much effort due to his size. Not saying he has to change, but with CJ playing, it’s completely different.
2) Korver and Boozer were worthless, the latter even worse than the former. Korver just gets exploited so badly. He is opposing DWade or LBJ and it never works well. Boozer just fucking sucks.
3) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If the game vs. the Heat is close in the 4th quarter, the Refs will do everything in their power to screw us. “Inadvertent whistle my ass…”
4) With Deng and CJ, it’s a completely different game. Deng is the cornerstone to our defense. His presence allows Ronnie to play with the bench mob. Miami would have been lucky to score 90 tonight with him playing.
loved how the announcers were going on about what a great block it was on derrick only for kyle to hit a 3. it’s not a good block if it goes straight back to the other team for a score lol.
Shoots well but gets streaky at times, unathletic, can’t dribble, cannot defend. We have to adjust our defense to compensate his deficiencies. If he’s hitting, he’s good. But that is only like 1/3 of the time.
It's kinda crazy how Wade, aside from the one game where LeBron was hurt is pretty irrelevant against the Bulls.
He got a few easy buckets and a lucky floater in the 2nd half but otherwise he was awful offensively. James and Bosh dominated, they converted turnovers and Bulls missed at least 10 layups today.
Sad to see Rose blow the game but if Boozer is this irrelevant for 3 quarters and no Deng what else can be done?

I think he meant Rose has had some highlight plays
But that was good hustle from Booz

RogersPark Kris - January 29, 2012
sucks that they don't replay the plays then need to replay
tenkaistar - January 29, 2012
lebron cheated.

Didn't we win two games against the Heat last season on last second shots????
Micdiddy - January 29, 2012
The refs have stopped calling reach in fouls
and Boozer was being boozy
RogersPark Kris - January 29, 2012
Boozer fucking sucks
ThroughBeingCool - January 29, 2012
ROSE FOR 3 TO END THIS SHIT
crazyjjj - January 29, 2012

As if anythin g is guaranteed?
Khalid El-Amin - January 29, 2012
They need to ban ABC from doing Bulls versus Heat game.
Really, TNT is the only one with a good enough crew to handle this level of game.
Andrew7 - January 29, 2012
at least put Hubie on there
BULLieving in Miami - January 29, 2012
korver is going to win the game
tenkaistar - January 29, 2012
do we go for the win?
rsikes - January 29, 2012
yeah
the team is wasted

BOOM
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
just think, all of this without Deng
k21c - January 29, 2012
Go for 3
MCREW - January 29, 2012
that was horrible
HeXDeMoN - January 29, 2012
sigh
cowraiser - January 29, 2012
wow..the heat got bailed out. tough loss.
tenkaistar - January 29, 2012
Shit
poker_punker - January 29, 2012
Screw the Heat, screw the refs.
rsikes - January 29, 2012
Damn.
Shoulda hit Rip. He was wide open in the corner.
bleigh82 - January 29, 2012
yep
Micdiddy - January 29, 2012
rose had no lift
on that shot
anorexorcist - January 29, 2012
fuck
if only the Bulls had Deng today

sue369 - January 29, 2012
I HATE THIS GAME.
cowraiser - January 29, 2012
Foul but whatever.
lexmarklover - January 29, 2012
Should have gave it to Hamilton
twice on that play
runningman - January 29, 2012
The play was designed for Rose but Rip was open of Boozer would have made the pass
squadron supreme - January 29, 2012
refs robbed
Us assholes
rickrock58 - January 29, 2012 via mobile
i'm not sure what is worse
that possession or the officiating
jesus christos - January 29, 2012
both
Xfactor26 - January 29, 2012
Or the announing
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
UGH. THat's where Rose needs to be smart and pass the ball
WalmartSecurity - January 29, 2012
Pass to who?
I want my best player taking that shot and he did.
Dils - January 29, 2012
Oh yeah.
Hit Boozer who’s open. Cause I’m sure Boozer’s dress won’t get stuck up over his head yet again as he shoots the ball in crunch time.
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
Heat should be worried if they could barely beat us without Deng or Watson.
rsikes - January 29, 2012
Good game
I honestly believe this year will be different
poker_punker - January 29, 2012
Hey we lose a close one, we won all 3 close games last season
cowraiser - January 29, 2012
BRIGHT SIDE
cowraiser - January 29, 2012
Look
If it took all it took for them to beat us…so be it
Dils - January 29, 2012
somehow
we found a way to make this loss more painful than I can imagined
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
exactly! dayum!
inkybreath - January 29, 2012
boozer just couldnt grasp the ball

anorexorcist - January 29, 2012
RIGGED.
RED_BULL - January 29, 2012
Congrats Miami Hype
we let you sneak away with one
Big illinoize - January 29, 2012
Well Bulls need home court if they HOPE to beat the Heat in playoffs
MCREW - January 29, 2012
Really?really?
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
and a healthy lineup...
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
and home refs
Big illinoize - January 29, 2012
Gibson would have put back dunk that.
Micdiddy - January 29, 2012
FK U REFS U COST US ANOTHER GAME
crazyjjj - January 29, 2012
wow, the Heat barely won….they’re tough
k21c - January 29, 2012
fuck them
they aint shit, one point, we gave them a fucking headstart with rose and his two fouls, we dont have deng, we dont have cj, and they beat us barely by a couple of points, a couple of fucking points, they aint shitl….wait till the playoffs, just wait….this aint shit, they aint shit…fuck lebron fucking choker…..damn
piccolomair - January 29, 2012
Wade and LeBron are scared
They know this shit won’t be like last year.
poker_punker - January 29, 2012
look at those two bitches
expecting us to come congratulate them.
i love that we legitimately disrespect these pieces of shit
anorexorcist - January 29, 2012
you know what, this game shows me that the heat are not betetr than advertised
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
We win with Deng.
I don’t think that’s even a question.
m0chab34r - January 29, 2012
And CJ.
Not that he would be such a big difference, but being able to rest Rose a lil bit more, and no Lucas time would be a plus.
Phoenix7 - January 29, 2012
all problems aside (no Deng, refs and Rose's FT)
Bulls didn’t manage to kill when they had the chance
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
We're going to beat these guys when it counts
ChiSoxRox - January 29, 2012
my day is ruined
jesus christos - January 29, 2012
Rose was fouled 4 times on that last drive...counted. Whatever, he had to hit his free throws; when he missed, I knew it was over
Brigade17 - January 29, 2012
Bright side
we’re missing our second best player and maybe our best bench player.
Scribbz - January 29, 2012
You saw LeBron and Wade looking at each other and Wade shaking his head…he can’t believe how this game ended either.
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
you know what, they are scared
they knew we r without deng. They know it, those bitches no we r comin after them
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
no, the real reason was
they were standing there waiting for the bulls to come over and say “good game.” the bulls all walked out to the locker room without congratulating any of them.
anorexorcist - January 29, 2012
why should we, those bitches are our enemies
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
For some reason everyone rightfully harped on LeBron not shaking hands with the Magic, but nobody says anything when other teams do that.
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
truth
no need to look like lebitch
jesus christos - January 29, 2012
you're right
it’s a double standard but we just lost the game so don’t expect logic here.
diedaily23 - January 29, 2012
its not a double standard
their is a big difference between the end of a regular season game and the end of a playoff series. At the end of a playoff series everyone shakes hands
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
i actually agree with them not shaking their hands
the heat are bitches. i am happy the bulls disrespected them, they deserve it.
anorexorcist - January 29, 2012
Its a regular season game
most players dont shake hands post game.
RogersPark Kris - January 29, 2012
JAMES: "AH IM NOT A 4TH QUARTER PLAYER"
crazyjjj - January 29, 2012
Miami know what's up
Did you see Lebron and Wade? They know they lucked out.
Downtown13 - January 29, 2012
Fuck you Wade
you can shake your hand all you want
you played like shit
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
Smug mutherfucker
Brigade17 - January 29, 2012
"I got my ipad here"
wtf kinda of post game interview is this
RogersPark Kris - January 29, 2012
"John Lucas isn't short"
quality ABC analysis
Prevenge - January 29, 2012
and fuck this lady on espn
Scribbz - January 29, 2012
Lucas is not a short man,,,lolololl
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
as in "short is too big for him"
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
Drose Lebronned
good game. Good thing we can still keep up with them w/o Deng
trig - January 29, 2012
44 min for rose, no deng, poor reffing
And rose got hit on that one
DRoseO1 - January 29, 2012 via Android app
did you see Wade and Lebron
shaking their head b/c the Bulls walked off w/o shaking hands? FUCK THEM! We need one more fucking shooter. ONE MORE FUCKING SHOOTER!!
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
Our bigs and defense need to improve as well too many easy buckets for the Heat
MCREW - January 29, 2012
Really?
Our MVP missed two free throws and a 10 footer in the last minute with our second best player sidelined and they won by 4…
poker_punker - January 29, 2012
maybe that guy is CJ. Maybe its Deng or Hamilton
but we need a guy who can hit shots in the 4th qtr.
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
We needed Deng
And fair refs….Seriously if the refs were fair I think we blow them out just like game one….Im dead serious
T.Moore - January 29, 2012
bulls still had opportunities despite some of the calls
rose misses FTs, missing some gimme layups, etc etc… and yet it was that close and we didn’t have deng
Jaina - January 29, 2012
One question:
Why was LeBron James in the jump ball situation?
bryield - January 29, 2012
yeah???
bobslob - January 29, 2012
each team chooses a guy
taj is our best jump ball dude at the time, lebron theirs
piccolomair - January 29, 2012
ok
bobslob - January 29, 2012
Ah, Ok... just wanted to check.
bryield - January 29, 2012
That dunk was amazing… even if Lucas is a smurf
Downtown13 - January 29, 2012
Uh, John Lucas is like 5'10
I wouldn’t say if that’s not short, it’s pretty damn close.
JSB - January 29, 2012
is he 5'10?
trig - January 29, 2012
Rip 4-16, 5 TOs
He did have 3 stls to make up for the TOs but some really stupid plays too. This game felt reminiscent of last years playoffs; Rip needs to step it up
slowmotion - January 29, 2012
we need deng to get the double teams off rip
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
Exactly
Hurt or not, his veteran ass needs to play better.
Dils - January 29, 2012
hes missed 11 games and only played that one preseason game
I don’t think he is fully meshed into the team yet. He missed some key shots though
Brigade17 - January 29, 2012
missed two bunnies with under two minutes
on that possession where the Bulls put up like 6 attempts.
He also missed a breakaway layup off a feed from Rose, and stopped a la Rondo on a chase down by lebron but made up for it by hitting a short jumper instead
slowmotion - January 29, 2012
his defense on wade was surprisingly solid
Yibs - January 29, 2012 via mobile
NO REST IN 2ND HALF FOR DROSE ...
obviously factor in short shot at end … miss CJ a bit too
Orange Juice - January 29, 2012
Did lebron grab the jump ball before its apex?
MichaelClutchtree - January 29, 2012
Hey that was a great game to watch.
bobslob - January 29, 2012
We are better this time. Honestly think we could beat these clowns.
Phoenix7 - January 29, 2012
I hate you, JL3
lexmarklover - January 29, 2012
that game sucked. can't lie
D Rose baby. Make your free throws. He hits those 2, no way Miami answers. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
We need one more shooter.
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
Sorry
That’s who Derrick Rose is. That’s how he always has been.
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
And just WHAT THE FUCK are you talking about???
Big illinoize - January 29, 2012
he means NCAA title game
Rose has delivered at the line before, so I see that as a moot point
Brigade17 - January 29, 2012
Game 5 of the ECF, too
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
this can happen to anyone
im quite sure wade has missed free throws in crucial tight season games.
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
You're wrong
As I pointed out below, Rose was 6/7 from the line in Game 5 of the ECF.
You’re confusing 3PTs (1/9) with FTs.
Rose is a top-notch FT shooter, and has been for some time.
Sweetness Lives On - January 29, 2012
It's amazing that people bring up that NCAA title game and FTs...
…when Derrick actually went 3/4 from the line and 34/44 in the tourney. He went 4/9 against Miss St, but never missed more than one in the other five games.
His missing FTs, as a concept, is overrated.
Sweetness Lives On - January 29, 2012
Missed free throws
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
you know exactly what I’m talking about.
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
No, not exactly
Derrick shot 85.8% from the line last season, and is a career 81.8% free-throw shooter.
He shot 26 of 32 in the ECF last season (.813) and he was 6.7 in game 5.
That’s exactly who he is.
WTF are YOU talking about?
Sweetness Lives On - January 29, 2012
Are you serious man
I know you mean well but gtfo, he carried us this entire game.
dsenchi - January 29, 2012 via mobile
he did
he was spectacular. He made some amazing shots, including the 4th quarter
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
That shooter would be Deng
This game makes me even more excited for the playoffs. Miami Chicago conference finals is gonna be epic.
Downtown13 - January 29, 2012
If I'm GarPax I'm doing whatever I can to get JR Smith to come over for cheap.
Convince him to give us one half year of his scoring
Scribbz - January 29, 2012
I look at this game
not only did we hang with them. We hung with them at their best. This was one of lebron’s best games so far, bosh had a great game, wade had a great game. And we only lost by 4 points (really two) with an off RIP, a mediocre Boozer, John Lucas, no Deng, no CJ, a gassed out Rose, and a mildly warm Korver.
Am I crazy to think that we actually may be the better overall team?
Saukrates - January 29, 2012
so you mean with boozer
MichaelClutchtree - January 29, 2012
Wade actually had a poor game.
diedaily23 - January 29, 2012
also, did Mario Chalmers do anything?
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
triple double on flops
trig - January 29, 2012
10 flops to the right, 10 flops to the left, 10 straight flops
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
missed a FT
scored 5 points
Prevenge - January 29, 2012
Maybe scoring wise
But he did have 7 assists and got 10 FTs.
Saukrates - January 29, 2012
maybe he's hurt
but those shots he took today were worse than Kobe’s
diedaily23 - January 29, 2012
Wade never plays well against us.
With Ronnie+Rip on him, that’s a lot of size
Brigade17 - January 29, 2012
If both teams are healthy, I do think we are the better team.
Phoenix7 - January 29, 2012
Wade did not have a good game.
if RIP was off, so was Wade; they both shot 4-16.
chicity773 - January 29, 2012
I can’t wait for Brewer to make Wade his bitch again.
Saukrates - January 29, 2012
The jump ball was a bad toss, it was clearly to lebricks side
Plus he hit it on the way up, once again the refs are blind
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
yeah, thibs was trying to argue that
Jaina - January 29, 2012
As long as the Bulls are reasonably healthy I feel they can beat Miami
squadron supreme - January 29, 2012
Whatevs. Great game
D Rose missing those free throws hurts
Juiceboxjerry - January 29, 2012
I hate that we didn't manage to ever take the lead tho
we had so many chances
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
he was so gassed at the end
that drive, at the end, he would have gotten to the rim if he had just a bit fresher legs….
piccolomair - January 29, 2012
Not as concerned about ft's this time
Since he looked much better overall with no help.
DRoseO1 - January 29, 2012 via Android app
And the final floater
never leave it short
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
no legs at the end
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
Or momentum going towards the basket
squadron supreme - January 29, 2012
If CJ is playing
I believe Rose still has his 4th quarter legs
Saukrates - January 29, 2012
Rose, missed FTs. If he only made them... -sigh-
Xfactor26 - January 29, 2012
I blame micdiddy
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
Lol
DRoseO1 - January 29, 2012 via Android app
first missed 4rth quarter free throws all season
RogersPark Kris - January 29, 2012
I ACCEPT FULL BLAME
Micdiddy - January 29, 2012
holy jinx
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
Sorry guys, I was paid off.
It’s been a long con since the day I got here just to jinx Rose in this game.
And with that, I’m gone.
Micdiddy - January 29, 2012
I know you guys are tired of hearing about this
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
That's because what you're saying isn't true
Rose is an excellent FT shooter, and has been for some time.
Sweetness Lives On - January 30, 2012
I think there's some fairness in saying we should've won or it was a moral victory etc
but the same things happened last year; at some point we’ve got to accept the best predictor of the future is past performance
slowmotion - January 29, 2012
In other words
We shouldve won the ECF
Rose1 - January 29, 2012
I think we can
I’m just saying we were saying the same thing about Boozer in last year’s ECF, and he has a propensity to disappear in big games. Maybe he will never show up against the Heat
slowmotion - January 29, 2012
Essentially, the Heat won what ended up being a toss up. Bulls had numerous chances to win; Heat blew numerous chances to put it away.
berzerkulous - January 29, 2012
Derrick Rose, 45 minutes
Thanks for sucking, John Lucas III
Prevenge - January 29, 2012
Very entertaining.
Best part: Noah calling Wade a little bitch and telling to get the fuck outta here.
Bin Bin - January 29, 2012
Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of
Except Boozer.
AerialAssault - January 29, 2012 via mobile
If we had won Boozer hustle would have a lot to do with it
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
He made a couple of key plays at the end
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
Nah, Rip sucking it up on offense today (poor shooting, turnovers, bad passes, bad decisions on defense towards the end) is a lot more to blame than Booz today, I'm sorry.
Locust_Inferno_666 - January 29, 2012
He did play Wade fairly well for most of the game though. So that's encouraging.
Locust_Inferno_666 - January 29, 2012
nope
Rip is in his mid 30s, played really good defense, and is getting paid 5 mil a year. Boozer is in his prime, played awful defense, and is getting paid more than anyone else on the team except rose.
MartyMondays - January 29, 2012 via mobile
Peeps, don't worry
Unless a couple of our players die, this will be the Eastern Conference Finals. We’ll get healthy , it will be fun. Let’s not be sad today
Juiceboxjerry - January 29, 2012
Agreed
Close game with no luol.
DRoseO1 - January 29, 2012 via Android app
and if CJ plays, derrick is more rested and makes both FT's.
we’ll be just fine. sleep in fear cHeat.
rsikes - January 29, 2012
Word.
This was a game in late January. Meaningless.
Downtown13 - January 29, 2012
But I left with the impression we are still missing something
Hope it’s only Luol
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
A post scorer?
DRoseO1 - January 29, 2012 via Android app
Noah did well actually, but we need fuckin booz to step up!
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
it's Rip Hamilton
being alive
Prevenge - January 29, 2012
We are about equal
Every game will go 50/50
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
Here Here!
What happened to you? you used to be such spaz :)
windycitywarrior - January 29, 2012
a certain other board that shall remain nameless
is having a meltdown. im actually surprised at how calm everyone is here. logic, how does it work
anorexorcist - January 29, 2012
I'm still a spaz, but this is nothing to spaz about. I'm actually impressed
Juiceboxjerry - January 29, 2012
Good good, so am I
they played very well
windycitywarrior - January 29, 2012
exactly, their team isnt as great as people say they are
we need deng, period. This game showed how important he is to the bulls.
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
Missing Deng, Watson.
I can forgive Rose for the free throws. He was too insane throughout the day and the sole reason we were even close enough at the end. Jo stepped up, but we’ll need to be at full strength to win the series.
Scribbz - January 29, 2012
it was a great effort at the least
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
Considering we went from James destroying John Lucas' will to live
To almost having a shot at winning I’m impressed. Miami can blow out any team except the Bulls.
Ozzie Montana - January 29, 2012
Could be a letdown game tomorrow, after playing to this level today and then playing...well the wizards tomorrow.
hope CJ Watson is back
rsikes - January 29, 2012
Nah, Rose will come out angry
and score 30 in one half.
Phoenix7 - January 29, 2012
crazy that the bulls missed all those opportunities
missed FTs… boozer missed hamilton (very similar to the luol deng ATL game winner play)
but this makes me feel pretty good… that we can def beat them if we have deng.
Jaina - January 29, 2012
He looked at Rip
And for some reason decided not to pass. Rip was wide open too as there was no one in front of him. A head-scratching decision by Booze.
Rose1 - January 29, 2012
overall, both teams fucked up
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
for further positive reinforcement
it was in miami without their best perimeter defender
pb&j - January 29, 2012
True
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
this
Xfactor26 - January 29, 2012
rec this.
Phoenix7 - January 29, 2012
both teams and the refs choked
I wish Noah was there in the last 2 mins though
trig - January 29, 2012
it was frustrating to watch nobody else take that foul
diedaily23 - January 29, 2012
Can't get the image of Boozer not securing the rebound to call that timeout at the end.
god damn man.
Bin Bin - January 29, 2012
well, it ended up not mattering too much.
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
I know, it just symbolized his game completely.
Bin Bin - January 29, 2012
yeah
and he didn’t shoot a single free throw
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
That was the first time I've screamed at the TV in a long time
bobslob - January 29, 2012
Another lesson from this game
That’s not a team where we can start lazy and catch up later. Gotta bring the effort from minute 1
JustAnotherFan - January 29, 2012
so.much.rage.
i hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the heat. i may break a window to ease the pain
Bigp2287 - January 29, 2012
Make a sandwich and then punch it
Trey23 - January 29, 2012
This is such bull shit. Bulls should have won this game. Period.
MCREW - January 29, 2012
bulls caughed up some some oppourtunites to get ahead
it wasn’t just the refs, if that’s what you were iimplying
windycitywarrior - January 29, 2012
yup
MCREW - January 29, 2012
dude, its fine
this is not the playoffs and the bulls lost to a great team. Our team made soooooooooo many dumb mistakes. We need Deng and ull see a diff bulls team
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
Big thing that may go unnoticed
Only 2 turnovers for rose.
DRoseO1 - January 29, 2012 via Android app
good point
important against the Heat
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
On the other hand 5 turnovers from Rip sort of offsets that.
Wherever his A game was, it wasn’t in South Beach.
Locust_Inferno_666 - January 29, 2012
Yup, need him to step up
DRoseO1 - January 29, 2012 via Android app

Trey23 - January 29, 2012
this is currently the best rivaly in basketball bar none
its like thes two teams are polar opposites
windycitywarrior - January 29, 2012
the games are just crazy
Prevenge - January 29, 2012
Anyone notice how theyre calling it a rivalry as of now
Even though this has been going on for a few years. Like the 06 and 07 playoffs. We’ve also had some chippy reg season games with them in the pre-LeBron era. Not to mention all the
playoff series in the 90s.
Rose1 - January 29, 2012
the rivalry is wit the players
windycitywarrior - January 29, 2012
agreed
06-07 had nothing to do with this. This is Rose v. Lebron, Noah v. Wade, Thibs v. Spo, Boozer v. Dakoose and Dils. This is about right now
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
gold
rec for you sir
piccolomair - January 29, 2012
lmfao @ boozer v dakoose and dils
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
LMFAO @ "boozer v. dakoose and dils"
i love it.
anorexorcist - January 29, 2012
Boozer v. his son
Phoenix7 - January 29, 2012
Dakoose vs Dils?
I almost want to read the gamethreads to find out.
Ozzie Montana - January 29, 2012
nah
they are just currently leading team antibooz here on BaB.
anorexorcist - January 29, 2012
i know
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
The only thing that matters in the regular season is health + home court
JSB - January 29, 2012
Starting to really believe
that Wade is showing signs of aging, its 2 bad it feels like neither Lebron or Bosh missed one perimeter shot against us.
Rudey - January 29, 2012
My feelings on this game
1) Rose can’t play the way he does for an entire 45 minutes, it’s just too much. He has to exert so much effort due to his size. Not saying he has to change, but with CJ playing, it’s completely different.
2) Korver and Boozer were worthless, the latter even worse than the former. Korver just gets exploited so badly. He is opposing DWade or LBJ and it never works well. Boozer just fucking sucks.
3) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If the game vs. the Heat is close in the 4th quarter, the Refs will do everything in their power to screw us. “Inadvertent whistle my ass…”
4) With Deng and CJ, it’s a completely different game. Deng is the cornerstone to our defense. His presence allows Ronnie to play with the bench mob. Miami would have been lucky to score 90 tonight with him playing.
Brigade17 - January 29, 2012
Korver hit some huge shots and opened up the lane
So No, he was certainly not worthless.
RogersPark Kris - January 29, 2012
the way he gets exploited on D, I feel he is. He gives up the points he just scored.
Brigade17 - January 29, 2012
i don't feel like he got exploited on D that bad
Thibs did a good job making sure he rarely covered Lebron or Wade
Basketball Smurf - January 29, 2012
Yeah Korver was ok on defense. I like that they went zone to hide him.
Needs to hit more open shots though.
Ozzie Montana - January 29, 2012
he really wasn't that bad
and he def hit some key shots.
loved how the announcers were going on about what a great block it was on derrick only for kyle to hit a 3. it’s not a good block if it goes straight back to the other team for a score lol.
Jaina - January 29, 2012
he played strong, rebounded and did what he could...
inkybreath - January 29, 2012
I just don't think he's that useful, sorry.
Shoots well but gets streaky at times, unathletic, can’t dribble, cannot defend. We have to adjust our defense to compensate his deficiencies. If he’s hitting, he’s good. But that is only like 1/3 of the time.
Brigade17 - January 29, 2012
we need CJ back and need Deng back badly!
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
With how the Refs give royal treatment to Wade and Lebron, I don't think the Bulls have a chance if the Heat have home court advantage
MCREW - January 29, 2012
I'm concerned about this too
Literally every time Lebron drives he is the one to initiate contact; I’ve never seen any other player get close to as many phantom fouls
slowmotion - January 29, 2012
Its ridiculous but thats how it is
MCREW - January 29, 2012
i didnt know Rose Played 44 of 48 mins.....DAMN
RED_BULL - January 29, 2012
45
rick_ross - January 29, 2012
Rip was kinda horrible in the second half
Hopefully he gets healthy and a bit more time with the team helps us out
Juiceboxjerry - January 29, 2012
i think just not having deng hurted the whole team
deng makes a difference on offense and with deng, rip prob would have had an easier time
Geo4MVP - January 29, 2012
Solid defense on Wade but he missed so many close shots at the rim.
You just can’t do that against a team that runs off misses better than anyone else.
Ozzie Montana - January 29, 2012
well he was day-to-day
so maybe he just pushed that leg a little too much
pb&j - January 29, 2012
Kia Most Valuable Player of the game...
…The Refs.
Big illinoize - January 29, 2012
From all the commercials I thought it'd be Blake Griffin
Yibs - January 29, 2012 via mobile
This loss hurts.
Looks like it’s going to be skittles and pizza for me… arrgghh
bryield - January 29, 2012
skittles and pizza?!
What is this, The Princess Diaries?!
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
LMAO
Xfactor26 - January 29, 2012
WaveOcean - January 29, 2012
Would a win = guiness and porn?
slowmotion - January 29, 2012
I like guiness and porn after losses too
windycitywarrior - January 29, 2012
Err, no, still skittles and pizza.
But the difference is I’ll have a sad face today.
bryield - January 29, 2012
So when are we gonna get the news that Rose aggravated his toe again?
windycitywarrior - January 29, 2012
We can beat em.
I thought Kyle should’ve gotten some mins at the end there… Even his defense was. very solid today.
Yibs - January 29, 2012 via mobile
Bulls should have beat em didnt take of opportunities there to win the game

your friendly BullsBlogger - January 29, 2012
It's kinda crazy how Wade, aside from the one game where LeBron was hurt is pretty irrelevant against the Bulls.
He got a few easy buckets and a lucky floater in the 2nd half but otherwise he was awful offensively. James and Bosh dominated, they converted turnovers and Bulls missed at least 10 layups today.
Sad to see Rose blow the game but if Boozer is this irrelevant for 3 quarters and no Deng what else can be done?
