I guess I'm just seeing more of a trend in poor play from the Bulls. Not just last night. Hope you are right.

Much better performance tonight on the defensive end and on the glass. Those circus shots weren't falling for the Hawks tonight. The Bulls definitely need to shoot better if they want to keep playing into June.

The Bulls are very overrated. ATL sucks, but this could turn into an interesting series.
I guess as a Spurs fan you would have great knowledge of overrated teams. Thanks for your contribution.

Agree Dr Cub. I trust Tibs to continue scheming JJ into bad shots. And sadly, I almost liked our lineup more in the last five minutes with Gibson instead of Boozer.
And BigW... don't feed the trolls!

I'm not sure who's more overrated, Boozer or Bosh?
I would love for Tibs to send Boozer to the bench. Taj plays much better defense and, right now, is a better offensive option.
For one game, I really want Boozer to just play basketball. Stop the screaming celebration when he does something right. Stop taunting. Stop yelling at the refs when he thinks he got fouled. Just play the game.
In a way I hope the turf toe is worse than they're making it out to me. Otherwise we might be in for an underwhelming four more years with him.

Agreed Deluxe. To think, I wanted Boozer over Amare. At this point that is looking like a big time miss. Bulls don't need much from Boozer but I don't think 15 & 8 each night is too much to ask from a player with that contract. Hopefully he can bounce back.
Interesting article on Boozer & his injury.

My question is how long does it take to recover from that type of injury? If he can be 100% in a week, then I say give it a shot and sit him the rest of this series. I think we can beat the Hawks without him. We are not getting past the next round if he continues to suck, though.

I agree. The big question is... can he completely recover in that much time?
I'd be willing to risk the ATL series with him in street clothes if it meant he could be healthy for MIA or BOS.
But if this is going to linger regardless, I'd be in favor of a 50/50 timeshare with him and Taj.

This.
How did you guys become Bulls fans?
I lived in Naperville from 1989 to 1996. First basketball game of my life was 1991 Eastern Conference Finals game one against the Pistons. Went to two games at the United Center before I moved, one of which (1996 against the Hornets) snapped the Bulls 44 game home winning streak... haha.

Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs. Moved to Texas after graduating HS. Still a fan of the Cubs, Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks.
My first game at the old Chicago Stadium was BEFORE Jordan was drafted.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
My family is from the Chicago suburbs (Dundee/Elgin area). My dad always made sure I was properly indoctrinated with Sox, Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks propaganda.
BigW59 and Deluxe are homers who complain about the refs all the time and blame losses on the refs.
Sox
I was a huge Frank Thomas fan when I lived in Chicago, so my allegience was on the southside.
But that ended in 2005 when the White Sox played the Astros in the World Series.

Dr. Cub I wouldn't expect you to like the Sox. I can tell World Series trophies aren't your thing. 
Loved The Big Hurt growing up. Had a pair of these bad boys in Little League.

you had broken url's in little league? T&P
Hell yea
I had the non-cleat version of those and the 1995 zebra looking ones. Wore them to school everyday.
I had to wear red shoes for my little league team. Otherwise I would have worn the cleats too.

WTF did this Teague dude come from?
LOL @ DRose
The bench mob has come to play tonight.
Now THIS is the Bulls team I watched in the regular season.
Aaaaaaaand I jinxed them. I'm done posting for the night.
That Hawk squawk crap is freakin' annoying.

Atlanta looks like TRASH!
Is there any doubt now that Taj should be playing mire than Boozer? Whether it's injury or just suckiness, Taj is far more effective than Boozer right now.
Much better.
I love getting a nice lead on the Hawks and watching them resort to one-on-one, mix tape style basketball.

Time to get another win on the Hawks "home" court.
I'm starting to think that Kirk Hinrich getting hurt is the best thing to happen to the Hawks in a long time. I'll give Atlanta credit. They are putting up a great fight. I didn't see this coming at all. With that being said, if the Bulls just play defense up to their abilities on a consistent basis, they will move on to the next round.
Terrible execution in the fourth quarter last night, on offense and on defense. I felt like Rose tried to take over too early and everyone else ended up standing around and watching. But at the same time, he did miss a few around the rim that he normally makes.
I'm sure Tibs isn't going to let Josh Smith get 23-16-8 again.
