Adjustments for Game 2

[bopna]

IT shot 10-18 and we still lost...

I think offensively the only adjustment we need to make is to give IT more shots...specially the ones Smart takes at the three.  MS took 2 ill advised threes one after another in the fourth and the Bulls ran away with a near double digit lead which became impossible for IT to overcome.

And just please for the love of basketball just rebound with reckless abandon.

Some people still complaining about Marcus missing a couple 3's but he also hit a couple 3's that at the time were crucial in keeping us in the game. What we need is for Olynyk & Crowder to actually show up tonight.

Can they not complain about Smart? Like you want to complain about Olynyk and Crowder? He also had 2 turnovers that were killer. We keep hearing about how clutch he is....are we going to wait until he hits a clutch shot to give him validity. That's what it seems like.

We need to not play scared.
We need to win the 50/50 plays.
We need to not let guards get boards our bigs should get.

Emphasis on team rebounding.

Try to avoid early foul trouble. Crowder and Johnson were basically useless since thy both had like 3 fouls midway through the 2nd quarter.

Honest truth is if they just do a slightly better job on the defensive glass, they win on Sunday. They are not going to outrebound the Bulls. Just need to keep it respectable.

Let's face it, we need somebody from the bench to score 15-20 points.

Do we have that somebody?

Needs to be a team effort as we really have no one IMO

Smart Bradley Olynyk Crowder, Jaylen and Green

need about 10 points minimum from each but even then gotta stop those offensive rebounds to stand any chance. Giving a team 3-4 attempts per possession  simply because nobody is boxing out kills any chance of building momentum.

Bulls knew they could attempt contested shots because they knew they would get the rebound

Really need someone who can handle the ball so IT can get a rest

God who would think Evan Turner and Sully's fat arse would be missed so much

I miss Jordan Crawford........... A Lou Williams would have been helpful big time

Above all else about this game tonight...play with Celtic Pride. We all know what that looks like.

I think we need Rozier, Green and Brown to be aggressive with the 2nd unit so we don't have a long scoring drought. It doesn't mean shooting jumpers all day but getting to the basket and FT line.

Pack the lane and rebound. I expect Smart to set the tone as usual.

When Isaiah sits, someone has to step up and score.

Celtics had chances to pull away, but when IT was on the bench, Bulls went on some good runs (including a 10-0 one to start the 2nd quarter).
