Unfortunately, I no longer watch the Bulls and certainly no other team, except for these highlights. Still a fan, and I will always support this team but what I see is abysmal. I'll start by saying I've been a fan of the Chicago Bulls since the start, which is 1966-67. A few questions, do they box out, go for offensive rebounds, run half court sets, work on defensive principles as much as offensive principles,etc.? Or do they force shots, drift back on defense when a shot goes up only to not play defense, even though they were waiting for the other team, goes really hard for defensive rebounds and not for offensive rebounds, pass up 2's to shoot 3's, play off of the man they are guarding, celebrate dunks and taunt, even though they might be behind in the score, dribble the length of the court while ignoring their teammates, etc.? Maybe it's my imagination? Trading players is not a fix because there is very little direction on this team, and teams prior to this year. We will see the same thing with different people. I better stop because I'm sure I'll be accused of being "old school," or just plain old. I will be told I don't know basketball. Maybe I don't but, I know winning, and if things don't change, many of you won't see it happen! It's difficult to recognize greatness, when you have never seen it!
The difference in the game was the amount of fgs made. Vuc also had 5 turnovers just wanted to mention not sure how many were in that 3rd q
