Every single lineup with Harden has looked incredibly stagnant lately. I wish we would have kept him out when there was 7 minutes to play.
I wanna hog tie the ref's and make them rewatch the game with me.. Take a piss on their faces for every missed call and then the disparity.
I keep screaming we need a PG guard that can lead this team and night in and night out recognize the hot hand. With Harden running the point he feels he is the hot hand all the time, he is a NBA shooting guard and mostly of them feel that way. On a real team that is committed to getting the W the hot hand can be anyone on any given night. Tonight it should have D-Mo in the post. Instead James went to ISO ball and we loss the game. Championship teams don't lose games like this. Props to the Houston kid Jimmy Butler, great game on both ends of the floor.. I think the Bulls will be in the Finals barring injury.
WE HAVE A PG, one that can also shoot off the ball, but he is NAILED to the bench. My kingdom for a Canaan ball. DD
So the bulls went to the free throw line a gazzilion times and we went like two times the hole game???? We get a whopping 62 points in the paint and only go to the free throw line 2 or 3 times the whole $%$#$% game? I'm surprised the game was even close. Never seen a lopsided game like that where one team has around 30 free throw attempts and another team has 5...that includes Harden getting fouled with 12 seconds left in the game. Jeez
Do they not go to Dmo more in the post because of Dwight? Serious question. Do they think he will get mad/offended as someone pointed out in the game thread?
I am guessing here, but as sensitive as Dwight is, it would not surprise me. Someone should sit Dwight down and say...PnR and you will be the post option when Dmo is out. DD
Guys, I think we saw a tiny glimpse of how dangerous this team COULD be If we get everything clicking. Lineups with Harden have to be less stagnant. Run some early offense ending with Harden in advantageous situations. Not just 1-4 flat isolatons, lazy coaching... Post freaking Donatas Motiejunas. Pick and ROLL with Josh Smith. Find Howard early and often on deep seals under the rim. Can we blend it all together?
This is exactly how I feel. We have the pieces to be a title team but we're not coached adequately IMO. Yes we're getting good production but if Morey had gone with D. Casey this squad would be unstoppable. What ifs so many lately.
The lavish vacations being given to random fans is such a distraction. No way should there be a ban on sledding outside of the Center.
this reminded me of minny game (or what was the game that went to OT) when harden was fouled out and we were forced to go to dmo and won... its shame mchale pulles the right moves only when forced by foules or injuries....:grin:
Play with some ****ing energy. When they stand on court,they looked tired,don't wanna play every game.
