I'm so sick of watching this team lose to garbage teams at home.

Our tissue paper soft bigs let some dude who the average fan hasn't heard of get a triple double. Rose was outplayed by Chalmers. Noah was predictably useless. Butler with another subpar game.

Just no consistency with this team. They don't have half the heart of previous Bulls teams. This is the least fun Bulls team I've watched in a long time.

Whatever.

Well I'm glad we've got Nazr. Heaven forbid we take a chance on a young unproven talent like Whiteside.

Whiteside dominated our entire frontcourt. Blocked Taj over and over and dunked over Gasol almost as much too. How many times is one guy going to negate our supposed strength this year?

Noah is a shell of himself out there, should probably be playing 20 minutes.

Hinrich is brutal offensively, we are playing 4 on 5 with him out there. Just a non-threat, he's not ready to shoot when open, then the few shots he does take are bad ones. He's worse than Bogans at this point. Brooks should be taking way more of his minutes.

But its truly scary how many times Aaron has been needed to bail out, or try to, our offense this year. Being forced to play him so much, in lineups with Rose, is part of the reason this defense is never going to be great this year. And bodes ill for the playoffs when he will get picked on far more.

Thought Rose had a subpar game, but sadly he was still one of our better players. Jimmy Butler is simply lost out there as teams pack the paint.

Snell still makes far too many positional mistakes. Not sure who we are supposed to play on the wings, time to admit its a disaster. While Jimmy and Noah we can at least hope will improve, the wing situation is not going to, but let's just keep pretending its fine since we know the FO won't do anything there.

Mirotic looks still a step slow up against that rookie wall, and isn't isn't playing instinctively like early in the year.

Wade surgically picked us apart tonight. Apparently no one can guard old man Wade between Butler, Snell and Hinrich... :nonono:

Like Thibs said the other day, this team's margin of error is very thin. The lack of reliable shooting is obvious, compounded by the clumsy Pau/Noah combo, it ruins our spacing for Rose and Butler, and I don't think Mike's low volume is really enough to fix it. And we just aren't going to be elite on defense this year either, give that dream up. It's not happening.

Thibs is a scary ass coach (scared of change, tight ass, etc.).

This team is trash..hard to pull for them. They don't try..and they make stupid mistakes. This team does not even come close to hitting expectations.

This is fairly irrelevant, but I feel it needs to be said, especially watching his post game interview: Dwayne Wade is a jerk-off.

Total team loss. But the SG and C matchups decided the game. Wade completely outclassed Jimmy today, 26 points on 10-for-18 shooting vs. 5 points on 2-for-8 shooting. And Whiteside's triple double vs. Joakim's 4/5/2. If Butler and Noah are going to get dominated to this degree we have no chance of winning.

This Bulls team is so easy to beat. They've been found out.

Pack the paint, pack the paint, pack the paint.

- It takes Butler completely out of the game as he can't get to the post or make hustle plays
- Rose doesn't drive as much these days, but it will be even less
- Gasol won't get anything in the post
- Kills our chances for getting offensive rebounds, which we need big time to get the offense going
- We can't make open shots to bring the defense out

What people fail to realize is 28 other teams passed on Whiteside and he would have never seen the floor with Gasol, Gibson, Noah, and Mirotic. You can't have every 'steal' out there and we have a few on our team already, more than most, if not all teams in the league.

Energy sucked on this team. No one is blameless for this loss excepts for Brooks.

Rose, Pau, Taj, Noah, Jimmy and Thibs just very disappointing performances all around. Can't scapegoat any single person.

Bad game now move onto the next. You win some and you lose some just worry about your next game.
