Bulls missed a lot of open shots. Rose just a terrible game missing easy open jumpers.

I think so.

Korver shouldn't have played so much down the stretch.
Thibs always plays him or booz when its clear they have no business defensive wise on the court at all. I'm literally just baffled..why not throw brewer in. Instead you tire out your best player who already was having a shitty game...and then you expose yourself to the pick and roll with bron or wade.

Just fucking speechless

Yeah...I can see why he left Rose in there because of his ability to turn it on, but Korver...too bad Asik got cut up to, that dude is a beast.

Props to Bron Bron for closing that game out. Hopefully Chicago can take the next game in Miami, and play more tenacious defense like they did in game 1.

And D Rose needs to stop trying to play like Russy played like last night, that was some serious horseshit.

Not his fault everybody on his team was off

He went 7-21 I think
Korver went 1-7
Deng went 5-15
Booz went 3-10

The heat defense played a huge part

Hell yeah I agree, I just expect better out of the NBA MVP. I disagree with it, but I expect better from the dude.

This is what is to be expected from a series between two good defensive teams. Players are inevitably going to struggle offensively-- we've already seen this to an extent with Miami late in Game 1, and tonight with the Bulls the same happened in Game 2. As far as Rose is concerned, he's no less exempt from this fact, especially considering he's really the only offensive option the Bulls have outside of maybe Deng and Boozer. Even then, those players don't create their own shot which increases Rose's already heavy responsiblities. I know he's the MVP, but this just is not the series to expect elite games.

I don't, however, think that Game 3 is necessarily a must win for Chicago. Their defense is going to keep them in these games, and if a couple of shots fall for them, they could steal one in Miami regardless of how Rose plays. I mean, they very well had their opportunities tonight.
