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

[RockinRyA]

Game 1 is always up in the air.

We're still going to win this series.  But it's not going to be enjoyable to watch at all since we'll continually get smashed on the glass.

Brad's decision to play 11 players is beyond stupid.  That should NEVER happen in a playoff game. He deserves as much blame for this loss as anyone.

Yep.

You can't still be figuring out who to use in Game 83 of the season.  I mean, come on.

Ugh. Both Crowder and Amir had early foul trouble and Olynyk+Zeller gave us nothing. What was he supposed to do?! You people are unbelievable.

i ve waited all year for our first playoff game, so that was p disappointing

having said this, this series just started

[PhoSita]

Picking Rozier ahead of dekker and Portis was a really dumb move

Yeah ... I've tried to keep an open mind about the Rozier pick, but seriously ... this team needed a guy with size, skill, and energy like Portis.


Build your bench through the draft and you're gonna win some, lose some.

Smart, Jaylen ... useful, but still rough around the edges.

Kelly, Rozier, Mickey, Jackson, etc .... bupkus.

Rozier #16 Pick...Portis #22.

[RJ87]

Nope not giving up crowder for butler 

But his contract....

[CelticSooner]

Look at the rebounding numbers. Smh everything else was about even.

Pick 3-4 guys that you think will have the best chance of helping your team and stick with them.

Also, don't trot out lineups with more than a couple bench guys in the playoffs.

The Bulls bench gave it away, they were not to excited about that play.

[PAOBoston]

Favorable call. Didn't think there was enough to overturn.

Against this team that is not going to be good enough.  We knew heading into this matchup that rebounding was going to be an issue.  The Celts need to limit turnovers and hit outside shots.

Can't win games if you're gonna have trouble generating good looks and you're gonna allow bench shooters on the opposing bench --- for an opponent with few shooters -- to go off.

[86MaxwellSmart]

We're down 2 points...be nice to have that phantom foul on IT back

[droopdog7]

What in the world was that second crowder three?

I would imagine he was thinking about getting a shot up with more than 24 seconds left?

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Need to get a steal or hope they miss one. Somehow this is still a game

[Bucketgetter]

Wow, could have been an and 1...

Bad team rebounding in the first half killed them tonight. Cs were much better in the 2nd half but those 2nd chance points gave the Bulls lifew in the first half.
