Celtics (1-0) at Bulls (0-0) Game #2 10/27/16

[apc]

So much for the team who can't shoot 3s

[BitterJim]

7/13 threes

spacing seems okay to me

Butler and Wade aren't gonna hit all their threes in most games

[YoungOne87]

rondo wade and butler combined 7 of 8... who would have thought xD

[walker834]

Need to get horford going inside and stop giving them open looks.

[blink]

yeah I was screaming at the tv for Jae to get up in butler's face he was just dancing waiting to take a 3...uggg.

haven't seen the whole game but the bulls lack of 3 point shooting doesn't seem to have shown itself much tonight.

[BitterJim]

Wonderful...guess we should have acquired Butler this offseason.

Not at the price it would have taken

[mctyson]

I will say that the starting 5 has not looked good vs. Chicago's.  Say what you want about them hitting a lot of shots but they are open shots.

IDK why celtics acting like wade rondo and butler are scrubs

[detour]

Are we that bad at defending 3s or is this an anomaly?

[blink]

yeah, the 1st game and this game we are giving up way too many wide open 3 point looks.
Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.?

Bulls look good, but will be interesting to see how the C's do if/when the Bulls cool off from 3. 

I am amazed at the rate at which the C's are giving up points.  Averaging about 29 points a quarter so far.  Would love to see if they can clamp down for a stretch like they were able to do frequently last year.

The Bulls are shooting at a percentage that is not who they really are. Wade is 3 for 4 from three point land.
Not really him.

If the C's keep it together, and hit their open shots they'll win this game. Don't give up offensive rebounds

The only possible explanation: Marcus Smart really is that good of a perimeter stopper.

I think we need a practice or two to work out the kinks

Having a back to back to start the season is rough

[YoungOne87]

cant wait for smart to return to get our defense back on track..
