    I like how McHale speaks highly of Cannan. I think Bulls found something with Cannan playing the Bev role (3 and D) and letting Butler/Wade run the offense.

    Canaan playing like he did with the Rockets before he hurt his ankle. Don't hurt your ankle if you're a Rocket, man. Rockets send players to glue factory if the ankles are strong.

    no asts or rebs though.

    IC is a terrible defender. It's fairly easy for the C's to exploit him. Hell you can even have dudes like Smart post him up. If his J isn't falling he becomes a liability. He's given them good minutes though. I still believe Valentine should play. Good versatility and can shoot. Don't think you can get worse than Grant/MCW at this point anyways.

    What a quarter by IT since coming back in. Great mentality. He knew he shouldn't have been getting worked out by a 4th stringer and is burning the Bulls now. Love it.

    IT had 4 fouls early in the 3rd. Comes back in with 10 min left in the 4th with 4 fouls still.
    Butler has only sat 2 minutes of the game, and might play the rest of the game. This is so absurd to me. Dude has no rest, has to create, and then guard IT. Wtf?

    Hoiberg should go back to college.

    He is 100% the MVP of this series. With him in, Hoiberg doesn't have to coach. No PG, and you see this atrocity the Bulls are doing every game. There are things they can do but it seems Hoiberg is so content with not doing them...

    Lmao like look at this man. Lopez hasn't even played in the 4th quarter.

    And does Jae Crowder only shoot contested 3's?

    How does Butler get away with letting his jersey get untucked and tucking it back it per rules?

    Looks like the Bulls have modeled themselves after the 2004 Rockets.
