Wallace killin it on both ends of the court. If only Rick Adelman were Portland's coach, then we wouldnt have to worry about him (get it? get it?!)

thank god this nightmare is over, portland plays stiffling defense. I'll be looking for the bulls to do the same, its just a matter of preparation.

Yes Westphal, NOW is the time to bring in your bench, not when it's a 7 point game in the 3rd with the other team manhandling your guys.

Maybe they could have found him a bit more but the guy is at 18 shots in 24 minutes...

Thing is they fail to find him early in the shot clock or in position to do anything. The last 12 minutes or so have been garbage ball, and during that time Cousin's, along with everyone else, has put up some terrible shots.

A game like this is where I think we need another solid veteran presence to bestow civility in our team when the going gets tough. A guy who huddles the troops and brings everything into perspective...we lack that outside of Hayes...and he can't do it all.

Yeah, team was out of gas completely. Plus, Westphal had a ****ing joke of a lineup. You're up by ten, then you start putting in little guys and getting screwed.

We have Cisco. Coach just can't see far enough down the bench.

I was watching the one where Hickson and JT outscored MT and Evans. Apparently I DID see a different game than you.

Which again, ignores the fact that with Tyreke and MT playing the pg and sg we built a 10 point lead even if they were outscored by jt (who Westphall didn't go back to until it was too late) and JJ. Even though they weren't scoring, they weren't massive defensive liabilities that allowed Portland to consistantly find a matchup SO bad that it got their offense going. If we keep playing these small ball lineups we're going to be a lottery team again even though we have playoff caliber talent.

One bad game and already everything is Westphal's fault, lol. Just like last year.

Not everything... We were playing an experienced team on their home court, they tightened up on D and locked our young team down. 2nd game of a back to back. Still lacking team experience and cohesion.

But seriously, Westphal's rotations were moronic.
