Bradley dishing the rock!

[BitterJim]

This does kind of p--- you off, though. How many of us have been calling to move Al to the C spot this series with JJ or KO next to him in order to bring Lopez out of the paint?

He can't guard Al out there, and he's already nailed two threes over him. I wish we would've done this earlier. Our offense would've been so much better that way with much more spacing. Honestly, we should've done it all season long.

This whole "Al at PF" non-sense has been dumb from the start.

Al and Amir have done very well starting together, especially since the all star break. This isn't a good matchup for playing those two together, but given the alternatives (starting three guards, the absolutely terrible KO, or a guy like Green), I don't blame Brad for sticking with the normal lineup.

What a pass by Smart to AB!

[Dino Pitino]

What a defensive unit, Rozier Bradley Smart Crowder Amir.

[celticsclay]

Knowing this team, they would quickly squander this lead. Im not holding my breath.

who hurt you?

Bulls already clawing back.

are they?

serious question...

It's nice that we're winning. We're also shooting 70% from three. We can't settle for jumpers as we continue to build this lead.

And they respond with two straight layups .

[manl_lui]

there we go! way to end the quarter...we gotta keep pushing and playing, 3 more quarters...we CANNOT give them confidence

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

The 3s open up the floor!

[Ogaju]

really Smart??

[jpotter33]

Okay, I'll admit it - AB has been FANTASTIC so far on both ends tonight. He's held Jimmy Butler to 1-6 so far, and I think the one score was actually over Rozier.

[Dino Pitino]

really Smart??

He was slightly off on both threes, relax.

3's would open up the paint also if we had a real INSIDE GAME. also rebounds!

[BringToughnessBack]

D we can be proud of. I love the effort so far. Lets keep it up!!

[positivitize]

Don't sneeze. We'll give up this lead and be down by 5 if we even let up a little. We need to step on their throats. We need to end this by halftime.
