Actually I was thinking the opposite. The Rockets need to lock in on the offensive end to beat the Bulls. The Bulls are scoring impaired. Even against average teams they don't score well (26th in TS%, http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/true-shooting-percentage.. 29th in offensive efficiency, http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/offensive-efficiency). Basically, IF you put up a lot of points on the Bulls, they really don't have much of an offense to get them back into the game. A 10 point lead is like a 15 or 20 point lead against other teams. Push the pace, rack up the score... get 20 or 25 points up and it's completely out of reach for the Bulls. This is different than a team like Portland or GSW where no lead is "safe".
This, we need to run & gun, bulls won't be able to hang, if we slow it down half court we are doing what tibbs want us to do and playing into their hands
