It's not a knock on him but he just don't got it like that.

Just give rose the ball.

I think Thibs is going to have to pull the plug on Kemba closing games. We nearly blew the boston game and this game while Rose was on the bench. Not saying it was his fault tonight but it's apparent that soon we will need to make a change down the stretch

We pretty much had a decent lead most the game. They keep getting comfy and nonchalant in the closing minutes like we some super team that got it like that. Thibs gotta beat that out of them

Well you make you own luck. They seemed to want it more. We are considerably more talented though. It was a road win versus a tough team. Ill take it. Ill say one thing..we are just skimming our full potential...

Rhodey, I agree with all this. But what do you think is going on? I mean this team preaches about loving the Thibs style, but they play West 4th street ball down the stretch all the time with boneheaded long passes and shots early in the shot, clock. It’s like they are failing at the easiest part of the game, having situational awareness and being energetic.

Just seems like weird symptoms for a Thibs team.

We didn't play that good and tried to give away the game and the Bulls still couldn't beat us. That's some sad ish there. Bulls fans gotta be hoping that they play the Pistons 50 more times.

Game ball to Kemba. New players learning each other and that’s fine when we can eke out wins. But we now have 2 experienced PG, and we should not default to Randle at the end of games - sure he made great passes finding people for open shots, but he is also erratic especially when double teamed. Keep the ball in Kemba and DRose hands and let them run the offense to find the open man, move the ball and not go ISO and force things to find the open man. Still feel good we basically controlled the whole game in an away game, just fix the elephant in the room everyone can see and saw in the playoffs.

Missed the entire thing; brother called me with the result minute ago. When he called, I hadn't even box score watched yet. Just a lot going on some days.

I'll read here for the juicy bits.

Randle was awful tonight, but the two most criticized players stepped up, Kemba and RJ..Knicks are deep

I agree - RJ is better under duress, and Burks is the better free throw shooter anyway as the recipient of the pass.

And he’s exhibiting toughness, resilience and discipline. Mitch is a very important piece.

In summary, we're the worst and best team ever all at the same time.

Alright, trying to look at the bright side. We got the 'W' and we have a lot of film that we can learn from. Also those free throws will get under Randle's skin, it'll push him harder.

You aren’t alone. I can’t even gleefully smoke up and read the Bulls board. I’m pissed.

IQ doesn't have it this year so far. He's regressed from his rookie season. I want to see what Grimes can do.

Nearly gave me a heart attack and made my eyes bleed, but at least we won.

In past seasons, this would have been a loss.
