I think the bulls can and will get it together but like a couple said we are only going to improve over the years. More experience and hopefully a true jumpshooter and a backup for Luol and got we will be even more amazing.

All things considered, we really are only down 1 game, so it's not like we are in a super bad situation, we just need to really win this next one though.

It's a shame while the United Center is not super quiet, I really can't say it's all that loud either, only when there is a dunk, we tied up, take the lead, etc. UC is not an intimidating place to play IMO.

Also, why the hell isn't Taj Gibson being put more in the game? He has proved to play really well against Miami.
Lol. Its the opposite. MIami's fans are not rowdy at all. Even Charles Barkley commented on that. During the season half the bleachers would be empty..

Doesnt really seem like a mean intimidating place to play.

But I'm sure there are plenty A-holes there at the same time...

Yeah. What we did see the other night was that a real douchebag sat near the front (close to Bulls bench) and talked some serious smack about Joakim Noah's mother. I wouldn't be surprised if the nature of some of the insults were racially charged since we know that Noah's divorced parents are (A) a former Swedish model / his mother and (B) a former pro tennis player turned singer in France of African descent / his father. In any case, Noah responded by calling the guy a f****in' f**g*t, Noah apologized on TV a day later, and the NBA fined him 50K. Kobe Bryant called a referee the same thing a few weeks ago and got slapped with a 100K fine. I don't think the fine was warranted at all for Noah. We know that he didn't mean it against the gay community, and we know that Noah is far from a bigot. He's one of the most diverse & socially liberal guys out there if you know his background.

We also know a bunch of a-holes gathered around the arena after the game and insulted Charles Barkley. Barkley was so tempted to get down into the crowd and beat the crap out of whoever it was lol.

I get what your saying, but under no circumstances should a player respond to a fans verbal abuse.

Well now we know that Joakim Noah didn't get his looks from his mother.

Fine, but the idiot fan should have been kicked out of the stadium as well. There's a certain line that just shouldn't be crossed and it's likely that the said "fan" crossed it.
