You know when you screw up really bad as a kid and you think your parents are just gonna bury you? But when they sit you down there is no screaming or groundings or any of that. Just... I am very disappointed in you. That's like the worse. That's how I feel about the Bulls right now in the first two games of these playoffs. I am just disappointed with how they have came out.

They have showed no energy for most the games besides the last 3 mins of both games. Have played ugly sloppy ball. Just really let down with their play. At this rate they will scratch by the Pacers and then be beaten in the 2nd round.

The Bulls once again looked flat and stiff last night. I could have swear I was watching a girls JV basketball game with all the turnovers. Once you hit 20 you should lose my default. They just have zero fire right now. I saw Noah bring it a bit in the first 5 mins but everyone is pretty wooden. I guess I am just shocked at the level they are playing for playoff basketball. This won't stand... man.

Deng 2008 

Deng has looked 2008 esk. He was off again but this time all game. For the series he is shooting 10-30. Not very good. He has even missed some easier shots at the hoop. I hope he finds his shot on the road because its not in Chicago. The one thing I know about 2011 Deng. He will bounce back.

Boozer gets Boozin

People will point to his 2nd half as not doing much but this Boozer came back and played about 20x better. He seemed to get lots of touches which only help him

Out rebounding 

Thats great and all but it really doesn't matter when you miss all the put backs or end up having 20+ turnovers. The Bulls have showed great effort on the glass but they need to get the ball in the hoop after the rebound and cut down on turnovers. Its a wash when you pass it to the wrong team for 3-4 mins at a time.

The Good
-Noah showing more energy than anyone.
-Rose still getting what he wants.
-Bogans hit a shot(3ball)!
-Boozer back.
-Webber as a color comm

The Bad
-Noah shot 20% and hes a 5 man.
-When Rose misses a shot, its always short(two air balls)
-Bogans has hit only one shot in two games
-Bench Mob dead??

The Ugly
-20+ Turnovers JV girls esk.
-Still flat and show a lack of fire.
-Pretty scary that we could have been down 0-2 going to Ind.
-Dick Stockton doesn't know where he is... Rose hit a 4 pointer and he plays for the "Bills".

The Players

Noah: Showing great Noah effort but can't find the hoop.
Boozer: Loud and effective, what more do you want?
Deng: Couldn't make a shot. Will catch up to the Bulls if he doesn't figure this out.
Bogans: Welcome to the series. I will give him credit for great defense.
Rose: Saved the Bulls again. Some of his turnovers did not show off his Jason Kidd vision.

Bench Mob

Korver: Hit a huge three. Been clutch. Even if he struggles all over the court.
Gibson: 2pt and 4rebs in 12mins. I think he should be playing more.
Watson: Was better.
Thomas: Ahh was ok..but not sexy.
Brewer: Still looks off but hit two big FT in the end.
