So Rondo comes on and in two minutes has a basket, an assist, and a steal. I keep wondering why Vogel has him on the bench all the time?

The last three buckets we’ve given up has all been because DJ has been lazy and hasn’t shown effort. He’s really gonna do that when we’re down as many guys as we are?

With guys like Thomas, Brown, and Ariza out there, it's like a new roster. They're playing like it, too.

This team **** sucks at taking care of the ball. 8 turnovers good for 13 points for the Bulls.

Caruso is better at basketball than Westbrook. What we gave up to take the latter over the former is just icing on the cake

Thomas comes out of the YMCA to be our best option beyond LeBron and Davis....

So frustrating. And nearly all have been just completely dumb and unforced.

LeBron also got away with a hard foul on Caruso under the basket in the second quarter.

I gotta say - I really like IT. Aside from his offensive game, he's in the right spots defensively. He's just small which unfortunately can't be controlled. But if your team D is good and you have defensive players with good basketball IQ (not Westbrook and DJ) around him - he can be a big time piece of a team. LeBron scrammed him out of a post up, Ellington rotated, and IT instantly sprinted out to the corner to contest a corner 3. That's team basketball.

I'm quite surprised at the fight today. Fizdale actually coaching out there? Wow

Caruso only has 6 other games in double figures and he's lighting us up. We're hanging in there but you can feel it coming.

Man DJ is such a airhead. Rondo set that up perfectly for him to dunk it...
