Word. With seconds left, hey lets trade baskets and play Kmart "ZERO" defense. The team on top still wins.
Dude I love the guy but I will pick on things I didn't like. In this case playing near 25 minutes and not grabbing 1 defensive rebound...when the Bulls got 15 offensive rebounds....that just sucks. I don't Blame him for being the sole reason, why we lost....just nitpicking.
from twitter Jonathan_Feigen Lee could not foul what he could not catch (DRose). "I wanted to jump on top of him and keep him down. I was going to try to foul him."
The free throw is part of it, but so is the leadership and decision about who is going to be on the floor in the crucial time of the game. Adelman isn't innocent or without fault by any means.
too much time on the clock...if you don't let some run off, then you extend the game, at that point that's not what you want. Fans will complain either way after a loss. looking at it again, Scola deserves some blame as well. We were up 5 with 24 secs left and miller played good d on a noah post up, Scola had the inside position to rebound and let Boozer push him out without much of a fight. Boozer then tipped it in to cut it to 3.
bulls have become the new utah jazz.............. I decide to curse the team every night from now on............ such a heart breaking one, so many ifs........ Cbud needs more practice............ everybody needs to stay healthty.............
The flaw in your reasoning is you assume with Kevin Martin in the game we'd have shot 100%. What if he doesn't get the ball? What if he does get the ball and he misses? Then what? I fully support the combination of players Adelman had on the floor. Don't support our decision not to foul. And to the person saying we didn't need Lee on the floor, you must not remember past games with Derrick Rose absolutely killed us late in the game. If you got a player who can actually play good defense on him, you don't swap him out for Kevin Freakin' Martin, for pete's sake.
Adelman did call for the foul apparently. Give credit to Rick and his crew for a well-fought game, one of the best this year IMO. Win or lose, I love that the team is developing the toughness to battle back from deficits.
Pretty much, but his defense on this night was not horrible since he was mainly guarding set shooters like Korver. Trading baskets at this point wins you the game. Also for all the people that wanted Lee in, we had 3 timeouts to use. If you turn the game into a FT contest (Up by 3) you can also make Offense/Defense subs.
The last shot was Scola's fault. Why the hell is he defending the paint with 5 seconds left and a 3 point lead, he was waaaay too late coming out.
Battier is running away from the offense. I like Lowry now that he isnt shooting threes. Bud needs to start taking the ball to the hole. C.lee played some good defense but he is not a PG. Hill needs more playing time. Noah killed my boy hayes. Scola and martin have been the most consistent players but they can't do everything. JT is very much needed as an attacker when we get fools gold mode. you can thank me later.
If Adelman called for the foul, then Lee screwed up he had plenty of time to foul him BEFORE the pick. He blew it....in a late game situation...AGAIN ! DD
and give more credit to Thib, he took deng and kutcher and placed them on the farthest opposite ends in the corner as decoys. Took our best defenders, battier and lowry, completely out of that last play in regulation. Maybe JJ should have been in there instead of Miller....Free JJ!! And yes, miller lunged at noah and was unable to pop out to cut rose off...Lee got pushed by noah and that's why he was unable to get back.
Any ways you also could have subbed out Lowry for Martin and put Lee at PG just for those last second. Then you still have Lee on Rose and Martin guarding Bogans/Korver who really did not do much against him.
The Bulls had no timeouts, if you foul Noah at around 5 seconds and say he gets both free throws and they foul then they would have had to go full court in about 3.5 seconds...I would have taken my chances. Agree on Scola, great offensive game but his defense...ouch.
NO NO NO...you foul him, and make it a FT shoooting contest.....do not let him get the shot up. Failed strat. DD
no not rose we should have fouled noah.....i watched it and if they did try and foul him (noah) it wasnt much of an effort you FOUL him like smack the crap out of his arms as he has the ball not a little love tap....you foul noah hard enough the refs have no choice but to call it.....if you do that we win......and i do like adelman but he has taken our defence from top teir to bottom of the basement
