GT Bulls v Hawks: 3rd seed Battle

[poido123]

Let's get this.


I want bucks then Cavs

[Legends66NBA7]

Raps lose, Bulls clinch.

Raps win, Bulls lose, and Raps get 3rd.

Exactly :applause:


I don't understand the Hawks reasoning behind playing their best squad tonight against us.


I guess they're confident the Wiz can take us out? Are we a better matchup potentially than the Raps? :confusedshrug:

Millsap is back ?

Well, not that season series matters in the playoffs but the Raps are 3-1 against the Hawks. I'm not sure anyone else has a better record this season vs Atlanta, not that they are worried about us I think.

It could just be that they need to get their starters a proper burn too.

That explains it now. I'm convinced :oldlol:

Raptors have played the Hawks well this year, so maybe that has a little to do with it.

I think we don't matchup well with the Hawks. Their elite passing really disrupts our ability to play good defence on them.

[Big Cheese]

I dont expect us to win this 1. Im guessing we playing our best lineup so we can get a rhythm with our starting 5 heading into the playoffs.

That's what I thought too.

Chicago probably wants the 3rd seed and will go all out.

He goes all out on preseason games.

Wasn't there a game where Chicago's starters won a game in the 4th vs Atlanta's non-roster players this year ?

Yep, on the back of a 20 point 4th quarter by Butler.


The game thread was hilarious, the Hawks fans were giving me the treatment until...

It might actually tip your soft spot for the Bulls into all out hate :oldlol:

Toronto fans will invade, though.


But I get what your saying considering the closer rivalry.

[poido123]

Anyone have a link for this game?


the one i use is f.cking up

[zizozain]

Let's go Bulls

Ok, Im locked in :cheers:


We really lack energy at start of games sometimes.


Can't let Horford have that open J

[Legends66NBA7]

Bulls getting snuffed out early.

[poido123]

Call a timeout.



Get mirotic out there

We can beat any team

[beastee]

a little sloppy, but Bulls can't play worse than that first quarter.

[beastee]

Niko is a stud.

[poido123]

Inconsistent.


We haven't been consistently good on offence and defence all year.


These weird swings all the time.


Shroeder will kill brooks everytime.

[JebronLames]

Go Hawks!!!

[poido123]

WTF is this shit out of half time?


F.cking missing layups and Gasol going to sleep under the hoop on D.


Seriously hope Gasol gets motivated at some point, or we will be a turnstile on our interior D.

[beastee]

well...Bulls crapped the bed. Now they gotta beat a bruising series with Washington and then get the Cavs. Worst possible scenario for the Bulls. All because they can't beat the Hawks at home? All those losses against crappy teams earlier in the season bit them hard.

They would get the Hawks if they beat the Wizards.

oh you are right. my bad. Hawks seem to have their number at least in the regular season. That Wizards series has me flustered.

[JebronLames]

Yes. Raptors in the second round. Cavs gonna start 8-0.

[dubeta]

Bulls wont even get the chance to face Cleveland :oldlol:

[nba_55]

Reading the comments, i thought it was 25 points game. Looking at the box score, I saw 4 point game. ISH....

[beastee]

why is Rose not playing this quarter?

Bulls are on a 15-2 run. All the posts were pre the run.

[Kungfro]

Impressive run by Chicago. Also I know it's been said before but Hawks announcers are terrible.

[poido123]

Rose resting up?


Haven't seen him in the second half.

I'm getting worried tbh.

Really ?

I always thought they were okay. Maybe Nique is a little crazy, but whenever listen to them they aren't really bad to me. I just remember how much they ripped Ross every time the last time Toronto played Atlanta. :oldlol:

Please no more torture. :(

[nba_55]

Rose got benched or what?

[poido123]

Rose got benched or what?


It doesn't look good.


Makes no sense to keep him benched in a game like this, unless there's something wrong.


:facepalm

[poido123]

Amp that defense up Bulls :pimp:

He was smiling on the bench just now. Knowing roses melancholy attitude...he must be fine.

I don't care how we win, I just want us to squeek this one out.


Nazr has played some important minutes while he was on.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Strange that Hawks would tank this one. I guess they want to avoid Chicago for some reason

[Roundball_Rock]

Agreed. If there were something serious he would be depressed--and probably in the locker room. It could simply be a case of Thibs trying to throw the game without making it obvious. :lol

[fsvr54]

Lucky Bud pulled the starters.

Lot of bitching about refs when I was watching. I switched over to the Spurs/Pels game though, little more interested in that turnout.

Starters proved their point in the first half

[beastee]

Starters proved their point in the first half
They were playing in the third when the bulls came back...

[Roundball_Rock]

50 wins and the #3 seed. Not bad at all considering all the injury woes CHI had. :cheers:

[poido123]

We got it done without Rose, Gibson most of the game and Noah.


See you first round Bucks :pimp:

[beastee]

50 wins and the #3 seed. Not bad at all considering all the injury woes CHI had. :cheers:
Yeah. I almost had a mental breakdown in that first 3 minutes if the third quarter, but they really turned it on. Don't overlook the bucks though...and they get a chance at lebron again. Hawks were smart to avoid the bulls.

[Dr. Ice]

They were playing in the third when the bulls came back...
Hawks starters were +20

Besides, let's be honest, if the bulls only beat our d league squad by 6 then we all know what would have happened if the hawks took this seriously all the way through. Just enjoy the gift that we have given you.

Gibson and rose missed most of the game and no Noah.

Umm...ok? That's just another reason to enjoy our gift to you.

[J Shuttlesworth]

I'm aware. I'm just surprised they tanked the 2nd half.

I feel like a 60 win team should never show fear of another team.

[Big Cheese]

what happen with or without the hawk starters is irrelevant.

Save all the trash talk for the potential ECF match up. Now its the time to focus all ur hatred on ur 1st round opponents :rockon:

I don't think he knows what potential means.
He's basically saying the Bulls have no chance.

I know.

Obviously wrong to say even with all their inconsistency.
