Rose, Offense Need To Start Coming Through For Bulls
CHICAGO (WSCR) After falling to the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Chicago Bulls trail in the postseason for only the second time.
With one more game in Miami before returning to Chicago, the Bulls need to make adjustments if they don't want to return home facing elimination.
"To me, the offense is out of sync, and you have to give a lot of credit to the Miami defense," K.C. Johnson, of the Chicago Tribune, said on the Mully and Hanley Show.

After routing the Heat by 21 points and scoring 103 in Game 1, the Bulls came with a 75-point performance in Game 2 and a 85-point performance in Game 3.
Throughout the regular season, and leading up to the Eastern Conference finals, the concern for the Bulls offense was secondary scoring. Night in and night out you pretty much know what you were going to get from Derrick Rose, he averaged 25 points per game in the regular season and 27.6 per game in the postseason.
But in the Bulls' two losses to the Heat, Rose has been under is postseason and regular season averages, scoring 21 points in Game 2 and 20 points in Game 3.
"You have to get 'D-Rose' going," Johnson said. "I think you start with some transition opportunities and take it from there. But the offense needs to be fixed if you're going to win Game 4."
