Nah. Our offense sucks. Its just Bulls suck more. I think lack of an actual point guard is hurting them. If its not a dribble hand off or shooters coming of screen, they seem to not know what they're doing offensively



Bulls are bad this game. Missing wide open threes. Tyler hero shooting woes continue.

Miami held Philly to 39 points in the 1st half last game then gave up 66 points in the 2nd half, they have to keep playing hard on defense, their defense they can control, making shots not so much.

Having Bam, Niko & Herro on the floor and still giving up offensive rebounds is so frustrating.

Miami's offense in the second quarter was a complete abomination. Also, can Bam finally grow a pair and start playing like a star on offense?

Woah just saw that Herro is on triple double pace! Riles is gonna have Wade @ Marquette flashbacks and give him a lifetime contract extension if we win this game :lol:

I think if Miami wins this game, you could see Butler show up in the middle of the first round. Much like 2 playoffs ago, I could see Butler taking injections in his knee to play. He's got the whole offseason and who knows, the first 1/3 of the season to rehabilitate the knee.

I dont know. Healthy Butler this year looked kinda washed. Its the main reason we ended up as a 7th seed.

Yall take that out of you heads moving forward. There is no longer such a thing as a healthy Jimmy, theres also no longer a version of him to do what he did last year in the playoffs. He like an older wade will have his veteran iq, make good plays, has a knack for getting steals, and will force some free throws to slow the game down like a potent 3rd banana, those days of 30 and 40 point games are way behind us. The reason why he didn't get up for big games during the season wasnt for lack of trying, he just doesnt have it anymore, he problably will continue to work on his 3ball as he stops driving less and less.

Not even a star, just look to be more aggressive attacking the basket. He is facing a slow footed Vucevic who can’t keep up with him. Should be attacking him non-stop without always looking for one of the guards to bail him out on dribble handoffs. I’m sure some will say this is on Spo, and maybe it has some degree of truth to it, but I think that just is a crutch with him which he always falls back on. Need to step up his aggression big time in the second half if we are to win this game

I need the bulls to get their shitz together and come out swinging, please end this dilusional wannabe run at the broom that awaits against Boston. Save our Front Office from themselves.

Don’t sit Jovic too long to where he comes back cold.

Told yall, Spo has his rotations he has to get his small ball wings minutes and it comes at the expense of Jovic minutes.



No you didn’t. You said 10 in the first and 8 in the 3rd. No revisions permitted here :lol:

If we’re gonna win this, we need someone to step up offensively. 34 point first quarter. 13 point second. They’re going to lock us up unless we can get untracked here.

He problably has an injury we know nothing about...

Things that are ONLY said for Bam :roll:
That boy is not any more injured than anybody else on this team. He just doesn't want to be aggressive and own whatever happens, whether the shot goes in or not.

A lot of game left though. I hope he explodes in the 3rd

Washed ia too harsh, more like feeling the effects of the milage to his body. So he is changing his game to match hos body changing, increasing his 3pt shooting, driving less, rebounding is down, steals down, assist down, scoring down, minutes about the same, so he is taking more games off as needed to try and reach the playoffs healthier.

JJJ hasn't seen an awkward, contested shot he doesn't like.
