Will they keep playing casually & missing their free throws? If they loose, will they show their dejection through they're body language or will they be calm and realize they've lost the battle & not the war? Wall & beal shot horribly and I give all the credit to the outstanding defense of hinrich & butler, but the savior in this game was Andre miller. Don't get me wrong, gortat, nene, ariza, wall & beal all played well. But Andre miller was in the game during the stretch they were down by DD and he really took over and his VETERAN leadership really showed. Gortat & nene were ballin and really giving their all against Booz, Noah & taj so that was a good sign. Beal & wall are going to need to snap out of this crap and start making shots. My guess is that how well the wizards established the post with their big men is key to e wizards success also if nene can keep hitting that mid range jumper. So I'm thinking the bulls need to adjust to the big guys down low and then it will open up beal & wall out on the perimeter. Ariza was big time today, he hit some big shots when wizars were in desperation mode. Wizards need to stop making bone head turnovers also & make their free throws, did I say that already? So far the main guys apfor the wizards are gortat, The bulls really could've won this game but they couldn't buy a basket in the 4th quarter. Dj Augustine had a terrible shooting night & mike dunleavy could've shot the ball better. He came outta the 2nd half on fire but thibs took him out and that was that, their 13 point lead disappeared just like that. Jimmy buckets was solid today I really like this dudes game. He was scoring, driving and intercepting passes out there. Captain Kirk was being a pest to wall and he had a good game offensively also. Didn't really see much of Booz & dunleavy in the 4th qt and I don't know why. Thibs kept taj & dj out there too long in the 4th qt IMO. Nobody could score with the lineup he had out there in the 4th but he didn't make any subs.
