Slugfest part 8? What I want to see to make me happy:

Keep Bulls under 85

PG showing a consistent offense, doesn't have to be over 50% but would be nice if it was over 40!

Hibbert battling the snot from under his eyes (Dutch expression) against Noah

A focussed and locked in Stephenson

No 'ooh the refs are against us' whining

A cold beer in the fridge when I come home from giving a lecture tomorrow, so I can enjoy watching a hard-fought game, if the above conditions are met I don't care whether it is a win or not, although of course it would be nice if it were!

Why is everything such a grind for our second unit...

It's a grind for the whole team to score anything.

Our offense was decent in the first, then our bench scored 5 points in 10 minutes and it seemed to carry back over to our starters. Hard to watch.

If only you could have waited until now to start trolling you would actually have some validity, because for once you are actually not completely wrong.

Now hopefully you see why it's important to tank sometimes

I just find it hard to believe that our 2 center at the end of the 3rd quarter have played 36 mins combined and have only 6 rebounds combined...

You would think of all teams we would get why taking contested two point jump shots is not a good idea... :nonono:

PG's contested step back fade away jumpers are getting real old, real fast.

man I couldn't agree with u more I get so mad when that's all he does... It's like he's afraid to go into the paint

This game really sucked. Miami won so we're only up 1 in the loss column.

Wednesday's game is a must win. If we lose this then the #1 seed is in very, very serious danger.

Most I've seen tonight were because the Bulls have worked out how to stop him getting in the paint (and now I have spotted it, I reckon that other teams he struggled against have as well). He always uses a dribble move before making a forward step - if you close him on that first forward step he doesn't have the body agility to get round the defender and takes a step-back instead.

Biggest issue with the offense tonight was lack of ball-movement. I've seen too many one pass offensive possessions tonight. Way too many - if we don't share the ball, we don't score, simple as.
