No Nene off the bench - we will see if the bench can step up without him...

This Bulls team has no depth at all right now. Gotta hope our bench can still keep a lead minus Nene.

Wall doesn't even look to score anymore when he drives the ball.

Sad.

I'm tired of Gortat being a negative on defense

Man Chicago is smart. They know Wall couldn't care less about scoring on the drive so they play him single-coverage with no help defense, let him get in the lane and press the outlets.

The result - a steal when Wall was caught in the air with nowhere to pass it.

You can tell they scouted that nonsense. Driving with an intent to score vs. driving in hopes of flinging the ball out to someone, anyone. In the beginning of the season, it was fun and novel to see those cross court zingers & lobs to our 3 pt specialists. Now, though, I cringe because I know what's coming and so does the other team.

This unit is looking smooth and aggressive. I like. Get to the basket, that's what I want to see!

I think that is the first time those words have ever been written. This needs to go in the HOF thread.

If by torch you mean he is going to total suck like he does, then yeah

Temple is finally starting to look like the player I wanted us to resign this year.

He has had a terrible year so far, but starting last game he started to make plays again.

EVERY time I turn on the game, other team goes on run.
I've been taught all my life to value service to the weak and powerless.

Nene is stunningly close to being in the 50-59% range in free throw shooting for the season.

Disgraceful for a guy with his stroke from the mid-range area.

Why is John playing off the ball? Since checking in, he's basically just been camped out in the corner.

Yeah, those FT's hurt. The difference between maintaining a double digit lead and seeing it dwindle away.

"Ariza not known for being a 3 pt shooter" ... "Yeah, he's - uh - shooting a strong 39% on the season" and then Trevor cans another.

You gotta laugh at the people who call John Wall selfish or a ball hog.

I'm pretty sure if it were up to John, he'd be fine not taking any shots ever.
