We'll close them out Thursday. We missed too many layups and they made some lucky shots. As I've said before, D.Rose is average now. He's doing way too much.

For some reason it's always like that. There is no reason we shouldn't have had a packed house prior to tip-off yesterday considering the circumstances. The Bulls actually play better on the road.

We just need to play the rest of our home games in Milwaukee, lol. Our fans there are on another level.

Right. It was like a funeral in there last night. Even when we went on the 11-0 run after Milwaukee's 9-0 run to start the game it was still quiet. I'm glad that our next three games are on the road, assuming we win Thursday in Milwaukee.

LOL!!!!! You may want to retract that statement. Kenny will fight you if you don't.
I don't wanna end up like J.R. Smith.

His presence for what he's done on the court in the past is huge but he's no longer the player that's trying to avoid contact and dunk on people. He needs to focus on getting the others involved and trying to put up numbers like 15 pts and 8 assists a game.

You know that's Kenny homeboy and he don't take too kindly to you saying the D Rose is second rate now.

True. I would like to see him use his floater that he used to do so much and try to be more careful with the turnovers.

Lol. Didn't see him forcing too many this game. Now that was the major azz-whipping we should have saw in Game 5. I'm glad the guys took a look in the mirror and came out swinging from the tip this game.

Only problem I have is with Thibs leaving the starters in halfway through the 3rd quarter when we were up 45 pts smh

Even the broadcasters kept saying he needed to take them out. He's just too stubborn. We could have used that rest but he doesn't know how to let up.

That's thibs only problem to me. His offense is blah but he's terrible at managing players minutes. He keeps starters in in blow outs a lot. Idk why tho lol. Welp, they have the well rested cavs up next. Cavs in 7 if jr can come back by game three.

JR will end probably end up shooting them out of a game or two.

Yep! Although your boy Rose almost shot us out the game trying to match Kyrie's performance. Shumpert won't be able to score that many consistently and those circus shots won't keep falling for Kyrie. I like our chances.
Pleased the Bulls won, but the enthusiasm is tempered by the fact twice in the last four years Chicago took Game 1 against a LeBron James- led team and did not win another game in that series. Hope the outcome will be different this year. But I can't get comfortable as long as No. 23 is out there.

This team is better tho with the addition of pau. LeBron (6 turnovers) hasn't played up to standard so far. Let's see how the cavs respond in game 2 and how they'll do with at just one of their starters back (jr). I can see this going to seven games, you have a better bench.

Actually the last three times they've faced LeBron they've took game 1. 2011, 2013 and last night. I don't see this year's Bulls team losing 4 of the next 6, especially without J.R. Smith and Kevin Love for the Cavs.
