Long Two-Point Jumpers
I didn't want my first post of 2011-2012 season to be a complaining post, but too damn bad, haha. It's just a minor issue I have. With Derrick Rose, Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng, the Bulls should not take long two point jumpers as a main source of offense. Through the first 72 minutes of the season, there have been a lot of long two's. The phrase that has been used...
