Bulls (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Game 1 4/16/17

KO doesn't deserve another second on the floor. 

You don't stop playing the second most important player off the bench because he isn't great in one game.

I'd stop playing him if he's shown next to nothing through 3 quarters.

agreed but he's got to contribute more than he has.  as 1st big man off the bench, he can't be a complete non-entity out there

I don't know. Sully got buried in the bench for Jerebko in the Atlanta series last year. If KO continue to sucks, he deserve the same treatment.

You aren't using a series we lost as an example, are you?

Sullinger had so many issues that KO doesn't have.  He doesn't just jack shots, not consistently rebound, and then lack in every other area.

If KO is on the bench we aren't going anywhere in the Playoffs.  You don't just bench important players.

I'm not arguing he has played well but we will play him and we will have to hope he plays better.  He's very important.

Good to see Gerald getting minutes, hopefully he gets hot

How was that not a foul on Butler??

and do what?  play Al and Amir the entire 4th quarter?  it's not like JJ or Zeller did much of note when on the court

Yeah I don't get that either

People don't even look at the roster when they make these comments I think...

JJ can move better on offense and is a more willing shooter.  I'd rather have him out there making hustle plays.  Kelly brings nothing when he isn't hitting shots.

not disagreeing with you at all.  I disagree with keeping him out of the game.  he does have to play better though

We played better with JJ on the court.  I'd feel more comfortable rolling with him at this point.

When KO plays well we're really hard to beat.  When he's off, he's a huge liability.

KELLY DID SOMETHING GOOD OMG

[slamtheking]

finally, a KO sighting on the boards

[PhoSita]

Maybe start defending Portis.
