The Bulls fans will be expecting a reaction tonight from that poor performance. However, they could have a tough time, as the Nets are playing for of their best basketball of the season right now, and would be a handful for any team in the NBA on their current form.
Brooklyn won six of its final seven to close out the regular season recording at least 100 points in each win.
Meanwhile, the Bulls got the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference by holding its opponents to less than 93 points per game, and could have trouble if they are forced to try and out score their opponents.
Piling the pressure on the Bulls, even though Joakim Noah started against the Nets in Game 1, he seemed to be affected by his right foot injury, and could struggle again tonight. Derrick Rose remains out and isn't expected to return in the playoffs.
"The thing is, we're disappointed," said Chicago head coach Tom Thibodeau. "We played poorly and we have to change the mentality. We have to correct the mistakes. Brooklyn's a terrific team. They've been playing great down the stretch, they have good momentum going into the playoffs, they're going to challenge you and we have to be ready to respond."
