The Chicago Bulls were historically bad at offense last night. Not that we blame them — playing without your starters and placing the scoring onus directly on Nate Robinson's back is bound to catch up with you at some point — but man, they were bad. As in, "No Bulls team has ever shot worse in the playoffs" kind of bad.
For those of you scoring at home, that's 19 for 74, or 25.7 percent from the field. Carlos Boozer led the team with 14 points — on 3 of 14 shooting! Nate Robinson had ZERO points. The ghost of Richard Hamilton scored 11. The only guy to sport a plus/minus that wasn't negative was some dude named Malcolm Thomas, who sported a ZERO.
In a surprising twist, the Bulls' defense was somehow more adept at putting the ball in the basket for Miami. Marquis Teague demonstrates:
Oy vey. It's been a good, hard-fought season for the Bulls. Considering all they had to overcome, a competitive second-round series against the Heat should make these guys proud. But a night like this shows how overwhelmed they are at this point.
