I'll just take a hot shooting 2nd half and some toughness on the defensive boards.

Nice move by Taj there. He and Snell are the only guys doing anything on offense so far tonight

But if the Bulls don't start focusing on keeping Cleveland off the offensive boards, they are going to get blown out. The Cavs have 10 offensive rebounds already (seems like they have more than that)

as proven by the last 10 games, probably not going to happen.

What happened to Butler? He isn't' playing hard anymore.


He just settles for jumpers, I don't know.

Butler, Brooks and Mirotic have all come back to earth.

A realist look at the offensive talent shows it to be nothing special.

The offensive talent is more than fine.

It's just that we are running an offense that only succeeds if you have OKC level offensive talent.

The thing I don't understand is, if there is a game where we should be really feeding Taj it's tonight where he is defended by Love who is a crappy defender. Why do we keep force feeding Pau, when he actually has a defensive player on him, and giving Taj the scraps? The basketball IQ of this team sometimes makes me wonder.
Why so serious?

Tough stretch for this team. They just have to fight through this phase. We are not even half way through the season. Real games are played in April.

The problem with this team is that the offense is designed for a large volume of open jumpers, but we don't have anyone that can hit an open jumper consistently with MDJ and Doug out. If were making a trade, it needs to be for a shooter.

We look horrible offensively. No movement, the ball sticks too much, doesn't swing side to side, no good penetration, when someone does cut it's very lazily, oh and can't forget all that adds up to no one being able to make a shot.

If we have both Pau and Noah and we see them in the playoffs, that means Love has to defend one of them. Hoping Noah gets back to form, this is a good thing

Taj has come to play. He has talked about getting back to what we do, and he is doing it. The others, they appear to be chilling.
