14 freaking free throws is ridiculous. He should only have half of that, but the refs are incompetent and bailing him out with cheap calls.

Stevens needs to go on a Fizdale-type rant and call this BS out. That's freaking ridiculous.

In all fairness, he's forcing the issue by driving to the rim.

Well, refs should notice that

Or at least call it both ways when our guys force the issue.

Well with that obvious goaltend missed by the refs, this should be a 13 point lead. In all honesty, it really should be more based on what the Bulls have. Gotta come out balling in the 3rd and put this away so I rest easy on my couch tonight.

And flops worse than Marcus Smart
Jaylen Brown for All-NBA

IT is playing well, but his shot is off. He missed way too many open threes, and another FT. If he starts hitting, the Bulls are done.

Avery only 11 minutes with the foul trouble.  Butler taking advantage with 14 FT attempts.  AB needs to play aggressively in the second half.   

Not to be too dramatic, but this upcoming half is huge for this series.  Whoever takes the last 24 minutes becomes the favorite to take the series. Of course, Bulls have an 11-point deficit to overcome.

They can drive all they want, but they won't get the calls that IT gets
I'm bitter.

Shots will start falling down, but I hope he drives to the basket. Disrupts the bulls rhytm for the come back, puts them in foul trouble etc. I wish he does that rather than taking 3's

Green needs more minutes, or until he starts to hurt us. He's had a really positive effect on the C's.

Don't look now, but if he wins tonight, Brad Stevens will pass Danny Ainge on the all-time playoff winning percentage list.

Need to force the issue in the 3rd. Just stomp out any chance of a comeback. Need to get Al Horford going.
