Bulls (1-0) at Celtics (0-1) PO game #2 4/18/17

[blink]

Playoff basketball with this team is so infuriating. Need to find the Celtics team that was so good during the regular season.

But that is kind of a different beast all together.  Being the #1 seed in the east is a joke if we can't win a series or two.  We are so undersized and literally have no other options.

I'm going to give tommy a tommy point.  You can hear in his voice he is disgusted, he's trying to be positive ala celtics homer.  Coach tommy is ready to explode.

How are you watching it with Mike and Tommy?

Nothing says effort more than allowing the road team to score 31 pts in the 1st quarter of a game you need to win.

[BE-Celtic]

Phew... Nice way to end the quarter but you don't start the most important game of the year like this.

Also, do you guys feel Robin Lopez is making uncalled fouls on the offensive glass ?

[bello_man09]

IT hurts us on defense...We need to sub him in on offense. 

[mr. dee]

Only down 5. I'll take that.

[Ilikesports17]

Terry Rozier deserves a lot of credit for that mini-run.

team needs to play like they are the 8 seed.

[celticinorlando]

Bulls have 18 points in the paint. SMH

So, here's the question, with as bad as IT's defense has been, do you:

A) sit him for now and try to score with our other guys;

or

B) play him and try to figure out how to help/hide him defensively.

Option B hasn't worked out at all so far. Rondo already has 6 pts and 6 asts, almost all of which have been scored or assisted on IT's bad defense.

[Ogaju]

I am here now.... I do not want to see any bad talk about the Cs.

GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEAT THE BULLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[positivitize]

I wish the rest of the team had as much heart as Smart. He's the only one hustling back on those fastbreaks and getting rebounds.

Ok first quarter done.  We gave up 31 pts.  I hope brad doesn't bother to draw up a play but goes bill fitch on starters if not whole team.  Lack luster effort by a lot of guys out there.

[Surferdad]

Terry playing defense!!!

Yes indeed saw that too

[Big333223]

It is incomprehensible to me that this team could be as good as they were defensively last year and be this bad this year. No effort.

And why does Robin Lopez look like he's the strongest man on Earth when Amir or KO try to box him out?  He looks like a father play-fighting with his children.
