Bulls vs. Heat Season Game 3 [11-1-09]

Heat 95, Bulls 87 | 11.01.09: Cant anyone here make a shot? Its something of a paraphrase of Casey Stengels famous line about his 1962 New York Mets and whether anyone here can play this game. The Bulls (1-2) arent that bad. But in losing to the Miami Heat 95-87, an unsettling pattern is beginning to develop.

This Bulls team cant make shots. The Bulls shot 40.9 percent Sunday and now are 41 percent for the season, 24th in the NBA and 28th in points scored. Youd bring up Ben Gordon, though the Pistons are 29th in points scored. The only reason you'd say the Bulls aren't shooting themselves in the foot is they'd probably miss.

I thought the bigger issue was that the Bulls seemed to be getting good shots. Youd almost wish more were contested. Kirk Hinrich is two of 13 on threes. John Salmons is three of 19. They are the teams long distance court spreaders along with Jannero Pargo, who is one of three on threes in limited playing time. The team, overall, is seven of 43 on threes...
