Bulls has to win this.
I don't want to be in 3-1 lead at any point.

Re: ECQF: P2 | (1) Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls (8) | CHI 2-0
I'm prepared for Boston to take a game at some point, but the way the series has gone so far, it's really hard to see Boston overcome the match-up issues.
What adjustments do they make to combat RoLo, for example? Chuck Zeller out there? That's not going to help them.
I expect Boston to come out swinging in game 3, and Boston have definitely gotten themselves within reach in both games, but I struggle to see what else they can do other than what they've done so far.
That said, Stevens is a good coach, so I shouldn't underestimate his ability to throw out something left field. Just can't see what options he has.
Whatever plan it is, I'm sure IT going off is one of the requirements.

It's bizarro world in Chicago, with the Blackhawks being swept and the Bulls up 2-0 with the next 2 games at home.

Their option is to get Horford more involved on offense, and I think they should go small. See if they can out run the Bulls.
I'm really hoping Niko has one of his hot shooting games though. I think he will now that Bullies are at home.

Yep, there's no point trying to match our size, because they can't. They have to beat us with small ball.
Can they do that? Not sure. Maybe.

If Bulls win, it's sweep or in 6. It's hard for me to see them winning another game in Boston.
But you never know, I guess.

Kelly Olynyk has already tried the Armbar on RoLo, I expect more attempts next game.

rondo wade and those bulls youngsters and underrated players are really fun to watch
Fact is that momentum in games is a real thing, while not tangible itself, you can tangibly see the effect it has when teams are on runs and how it can dramatically effect the outcome of games when you can generate any momentum.

Yep that's crazy lol...as a hockey fan i never thought that would happen, I kinda had a feeling the Bulls would do good in this series though based on the matchup. I also know playoff Wade's best is yet to come. Rondo has been an absolute revelation though lol.

I'm kinda looking forward to it, I'd be pretty neat to win this game. But, I'd be pretty happy coming back from 3-0 too.

Maybe try incorporating karate chops and snap kicks into his "shooting motion".

Rondo has been the best player so far in the first 2 games. If Celtics have trouble with him then it's over.

Sweeping Boston would be nice, but I feel like giving them hope and winning in 5 as their fans watch it happen live would be nicer

Also, I expect a lineup change from Boston. Stevens has to go bigger. If he doesn't make any adjustments and they get killed on the boards again, maybe the stat of him being the worst playoff coach speaks the truth
