Don't **** suck!

Also, can we get a few more T&A pics in the op?

Time to bounce back. Bulls played with a lot of heart but it's time to wake up and push back. If anyone can comeback after a loss, it's the Heat.

Let's get it.

Rebound the ball, make some damn shots when wide open & our superstars need to be superstars...

Lebron needs to have a "dominant game" and the heat need to have a complete game, Both havent happened so far. Still look regular season mode

Yeah we haven't tapped into the playoff mentality yet... This game was a big nuclear alarm.

Should win by 10-15+

We havent even seen this team play with a sense of urgency yet. I expect everyone to look a bit sharper in Game 2.

We missed a lot of wide open looks, just knock down some shots and push the tempo, Chicago will not give us anything, in any game, but we can't expect to miss wide open 3's because they will defend the paint in all games.

Perhaps our guys had been listening to too much of the media telling us this was going to be easy. Time to wake up and get into the game 48 minutes.

Bulls fan here, loved the competitiveness of the first game but I think you should get the second one easily. Spo and Lebron will make adjustments, and as good as Butler is defensively, he's not as quick or strong as Lebron and can't guard him for an entire series playing 48 minutes a game.
Ray Allen probably won't be guarding Nate Robinson in the closing minutes of the game either.

Good luck guys!

WE WINNING 4 IN A ROW... hopefully lol

Just no way our team plays like ass that way, it was the worse game of the season. The communication, the shots, the players.... all ass. Even LeBron played bad, I don't expect that again.

The problem of this team is that it's asking LeBron to do too much when that shouldn't be the case. Wade had a USG% of 28.1, a team high, and attempted 16 shots, no free throws and delivered 14 points and 4 assists, which results in a poor (for his standards) offensive rating of 81. Even Bosh, who was nowhere to be found, posted an ORtg of 88 with a USG% of just 88. That tells me Wade needs to be more aggressive. He's that second "trigger" guy, as Spo likes to say, next to LeBron on our team. That means, when he has to ball, he shouldn't just hold on to it and then swing it to the next guy, but instead attack the defense and force them to rotate, opening up room for everybody else. Even in his 1/12 performance against Milwaukee he was able to do so and helped us a lot with it. That's what makes a star player a star. Last night, he didn't play like one, at least not all the time when he was on the court.

Shane managed to be even less productive with an ORtg of 77 and a USG% of 22.5, even though he just played 17:17 minutes. LeBron in particular kept force-feeding him when, and that's where I agree with you, he should've looked to score himself instead or tried other options.

The doubling of the pick n rolls and trapping of their guards worked to perfection when everyone was going hard and giving double the effort. Once that effort died down, the Bulls just got open shots, particularly Nate.

Sometimes, I wish they'd mix a little man on man with that doubling and not be in a situation where'd they're like headless chickens on defense when they're beat
