Jimmy with a circus shot

so sloppy...

Eastern Conference basketball, catch the fever!!!

 

Regardless, actually is good defense by two good defensive teams.

That was like a high school JV game.

What was with all the technicals earlier? (Obv. I wasn't watching)

Ugly start, their scrappiness and length are making us work hard for baskets. But the team outside of Rose is 15-31 from the field, so if Rose picks up his scoring in the second half, we should be fine.

Luckily the Bulls are playing the Bucks here.

Jimmy. Butler.

PAY TEH JIMMAY HIS MONIES

Mirotic has large knot on his knee. He's going to get treatment and is limping around towards the back of the locker room.

I'm ok with this. Sit until Cleveland.

LOL! Jo elluding to Jimmy f***ing everything in Milwaukee in this pressed is hilarious.

He is much less needed this series.

Niko may also have a concussion

IIRC Pachulia did a bunch of s*** like this against the Bulls back in the 2011 playoffs when he was with Atlanta

I wish they would have shown the part where he got kicked out because it was another blatant elbow but they just brushed it off in the broadcast like Niko was just trying to "get even"

I think last night showed that Jimmy is now the clear #1 option on this team. Rose deferred to him quite a bit in that second half and with good reason.

He also did it to Dwight Howard when he was on Orlando, but at the time I thought it was funny because Dwight.

Well double-teamed Rose and Pau throughout. Butler stepped up big time. Once they double team Jimmy, Pau or Rose will look like the #1 option.

STEVE...I NEED MY JIMMY BUCKETS TSHIRT!!! COME ON NOW!!!

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

I'm sure this has been done already, but I'll put this here.

 

anxiously awaiting Mirotic news.

Quad contusion, they are hoping treatment will have him ready for the next game. At least thats what Cowley said an hour ago on the score

So many conflicting reports about Niko...

I just want to point out that the way the Bulls rebounded and defended yesterday is how I expected them to do it all year. They were monsters on the glass and this team is so much better with Derrick at the point (when he is focused on D, he is an extremely strong defensive point guard...I should caveat this as saying there aren't many good defensive PG's in the league). Loved it. I still think we will have chemistry issues due to overall rust that will hinder us against Cleveland (who to me is going to be the eventual champ) but I think it will be a great series and just hope everyone on both sides is healthy for it. We'll need to play elite defensively and need all of our playmakers to be aggressive and effective.

 

Cleveland has gotten us on the glass a bit this year so hopefully we can take that angle from them and crush them in the paint as Butler is going to have an extremely difficult match up in Lebron so key will be our bench having an advantage and helping us and Derrick and Pau outplaying Kyrie / Love with Dunleavy playing efficiently.
