Tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET on TNT the Chicago Bulls will try to slam the door on the suddenly interesting Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 of their first-round Eastern Conference Playoffs series which can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Bulls fans can tune in to the radio broadcast on ESPN 1000, while Bucks fans may do likewise on 620 WTMJ.
After a throwback Game 3 from point guard Derrick Rose, the Bulls have dropped two straight to the Bucks, and allowed a 3-0 series stranglehold to become a 3-2 lead with stress attached. Bulls forward Pau Gasol has been left befuddled by the Bulls' inability to close out Milwaukee.
"I don't know if we were comfortable or confident or overlooking them," Gasol said. "I just think we didn't play with enough sense of urgency and desire, which you have to do when you're ready to close out a team when you have them in that position. We're going to have to play the next game like it's the last game, not think that if we lose this one, we still have a chance, that we can play at home in Game 7. That would be a terrible mistake."
History is on Chicago's side; no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win an NBA Playoffs series. However, the Bucks are playing pressure-free right now. Few expected them to even be in the postseason, and once they fell behind 3-0, even Milwaukee's most fervent fans had to lose hope. Bucks forward Jared Dudley hasn't though.
"Everyone's talking about the future, everyone's talking about (the Bulls') series against Cleveland," Dudley said. "We're still here though."
