Good sportsmanship

GG Bulls that was probably your best shot at winning a game in this series. Couldn’t capitalize enough on the poor shooting and turnovers by the Bucks. Felt like DeRozan and Lavine were forcing the issue too much.

Need to play through Vucevic. That pick and pop 3 will be open all day.

So many hero ball ISO shots. Or just plaint missed good shots. And putbacks - these being weak are so frustrating.

You've got two guys going ISO who in all honesty have no business doing it as much as they are. There are like 2-3 players i'd be fine with going ISO in bulk.

Kawhi
KD
Kyrie

Demar and Lavne need to be smarter.

It's how each had played before teaming up. When DD played for us he was a solid facilitator and moved the ball far more because Pop required it. Had a career high in assists and efficiency. I see he's back to his pre-Spurs ways. At least for this game (haven't watched the Bulls to know if it's more a this game thing or a whole season thing).

Bulls were moving the ball well and scoring off of it. But players are their habits for better or worse and that's what shows up in pressure situations. I don't miss watching this. Like at all.

The difference between game 1 Demar and game 1 Barnes is kind of staggering, even the the Raptors got absolutely crushed.

Another way of looking at it, they could have some confidence heading into game 2 because no one game them a chance (myself included) and they only lost by 7 despite
DeRozan 6-25
Williams 1-3
Vucevic 9-27 including an inexplicable 2-10 threes
LaVine 6-19 also only 2-10 threes

There's no chance they can win this series, but after being down big in the 1st quarter, to come back and take the lead late in the game is something for this team as they were getting blown out in those scenarios late in the season.

Someone has to stop one of their worst 3 point shooters from taking 10 attempts though

Bulls played terrible and had a poor 1st quarter .
Think they have some positives to look at going into game 2

Bucks need to play better and Coach Bud needs to get his head out of his ass. Giannis by himself will be enough to get past the Ball-less Bulls (lol) but he'll need help from round 2, on.

SeniorWalker · Post #690 » by **SeniorWalker** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 1:09 am

Okay, the Bulls dropped one.

But it's getting ugly from here on out, 4-1 series the rest of the way. Say your prayers, bucks!

LaVine only needed 19 for his 18 but hey he's still learning from DeMar, give it time

Inside the NBA coverage is sooo bad it’s like a parody at this point. Wtf are Shaq and Charles even talking about.

I still don't like Bud's coaching.

Bucks really don't look like they're chasing a title this year.

Giannis, great character guy, but he makes boneheaded decisions at times. Easily could've fouled out but goes over the back of a defender for a measly rebound he had little chance of getting down the stretch. That's likely why Bud pulled him. Bro, you are the most important player with 5 fouls and plenty of time left to play, you let stuff like that go if it's not a desperation posession.

Playoff Lavine and playoff derozen good lord should’ve benched them both.

There was an assault on the rim in that fourth quarter with all those bricks.

The Caruso sub in the 4th was the momentum killer .
Billy has been questionable all season long , kinda flakey with rotations . Hopefully he grows up after this series .
Yes Zach and Demar can be better . Zach has been a different guy since the pointguard position has been in flux .

He has a bad knee that has caused him to miss some time. It has really hurt his jumper as well as his lift in the paint.

Lol Marlo had no need for theatrics, he was cold in his business. But yeah Sapranos had some mf’ers

The Bulls got semi rewarded in game 1 by being the lower seed, odd.

Agreed. And the most overall gangster talent adding Avon, Stringer, Prop Joe, and of course Omar. All time all star talent.
