GT:Wizards @ Bulls tonight, 7 central time on CSNC, ESPN

[Madhouse]

thibs or one of our so called leaders like noah or rose on our team needs to wake up our defense because this is atrocious. i've never seen this team play this poor defense under thibs and this is WITHOUT boozer.

I also hate doug collins just shut the **** up you garbage coach, you are a sad excuse for a player, coach and commentator

why do you mention without Boozer? The Booz cruise was the defensive anchor. Obviously.

[WindyCityBorn]

Butler a complete non-factor again. His fall is hams been just as dramatic as his ascension. He needs to find a way to produce now that teams are keying on him.

Not worried about Pau overall, but Washington's bigs are a horrible match up for him.

[BigUps]

Gasol has been unreal this season for you.

However, why hasnt he adapted defensively?

Its not a Pau issue. Its more of a Rose and Noah issue. Both are pretty poor this year on defense. Rose seems to have no interest in it and Noah is working his way back from his knee surgery. Noah has really regressed and he was the anchor. Pau has actually been better than I thought and is certainly an upgrade over Boozer.

[WinFirst]

Its not even that the Wizards have changed or somehow stopped the Bulls. The Bulls have been in a funk for 2 weeks now. They are just catching us at the right time.

If we were to play the Knicks and Philly right now, I would bet we lose. Thats how bad we are playing right now. I have absolutely no confidence in them right now.

Jimmy Butler has gone missing....that's all.

YES He is THAT important to this us winning.

and thats the problem. this team wasn't built to have jimmy playing at a 20+ PPG level. if we dont have jimmy playing like a max player then we are an average team, a clear issue and the FO is to blame

[d boy gentleman]

This team does not look like a contender right now.

[Salrock2]

Out rebounded by 11
Bulls have 11 less assists

Thibs has been tuned out

[DRoseCantStop]

We need to beat the hawks

The Hawks are going to blow us out by 40.

Then we got Cleveland after that and they will shoot lights out from three I bet.

This team does not look like a contender right now.

That's an understatement

Whats wrong with Doug Collins.

Truth hurts?

Well if he is a max player he needs to bring it every night....because you know...that's what max players do.

[fleet]

the Bulls need to forget about scoring and care only about rebounds and defense.

saying we're "tuning him out" implies that we're actually good if we don't tune him out.

too much credit on our part. i disagree

[holv03]

Bulls really need Dunleavy back. I would like to see the Bulls make a push for Affalo. I feel that Jimmy Butler is getting tired and drained out he doesn't look the same in the past couple of games.

[Madhouse]

Jimmy Butler...

When it's all said and done he is still a role player and worth 12 million at best.

[DASMACKDOWN]

Lets take the venting crap to the pg thread.
