I'm still waiting for the 4 points the Refs robbed us on in these 2 games in Chicago---on the 2 NON Goal tending calls...Jeeze----are they Blind ?
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Lol Hoiberg going off on the refs saying that IT gets to carry the ball all game long, which is why he's been so good.

This guy is a joke of a coach. Can't make adjustments, so let's blame the refs in a game that was clearly favored for the Bulls by the officials. Hell, their star player had more free throws than our entire team... Yeah, Fred, the officials lost you this game.  ::)
He's trying to lobby the refs for Game 5.  Brad should have said something about the treatment Butler was getting.

a couple of weeks ago, Gerald Green was unhappy about his lack of playing time---IT told him to hang in--cause he would win us a Playoff game....wow.

Its great that Gerald Green has been playing so well. Sort of quiet season all year long, then BAM the playoffs come.

So, I guess we have home court advantage again, and, thankfully, won't be swept no matter what happens this series...
Celtics fan for life.

Quiet due to lack of consistent opportunity.  But I also get that you need to develop Brown because he's your future.  But their bench has been so bad for so long (until the last two games really) that Green needed to be given a chance.  I'm psyched that he took full advantage of it.

I think you can try and lobby them on fouls and playing rough, but for the "carrying" thing I don't think so. That's just a desperate move by him that's only going to hurt him. They're not going to automatically start calling IT for carries now, let alone due to the fact that virtually every NBA player carries the ball if you want to get technical.

Lol now Butler talking crap on Smart saying "he's not about that life." He's obviously a little salty about that block Smart put on him, let alone the shutdown he put on him in the 4th.   ;D

Our guy Kevin O'Connor had a great response to that:

I like when coaches take the fine to lobby the refs (Fizdale a few days ago), but this definitely isn't the battle to pick.

early in this game--Robin Lopez was camped in the paint for 7 seconds---with no offensive 3 second call...it was the longest I have ever seen a player in there without a call.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

That's another weird battle to pick. Smart is as tough as they come, and he's gone through a ton to end up that way.

Random thoughts:
Marcus Smart is our dj ! All the little things along with great defense
Bulls sorely miss rajon, so why was he benched again?  None of their other pg look like they are 2nd string guards.
Butler in green

what do you mean? who?

The league probably doesn't like how he is drawing attention to its dirty little secret. Cannot possibly imagine a memo from headquarters to refs telling them to call carrying. There'd be a whistle on literally every possession.

Bulls fans hate the Celtics so much that they hope LeBron James can destroy those "irish lolly squad"

I'm beginning to detest the Bulls and place them on the same category as the Lakers and Cavs.
