The Chicago Bulls aren’t practicing on Tuesday, taking the day off before Game 2 on Wednesday against the Cavaliers.
#Bulls didn't practice today. Rose says shoulder is fine, no concerns.

When the Bulls don’t practice, they still conduct a walkthrough to go over the gameplan for the next night’s game. The Bulls, being the opposing team, don’t have a practice arena to direct a walkthrough, so they made a makeshift basketball court in the hotel ballroom.
Nice tape job by #Bulls at hotel ballroom. Once saw Fred Tedeschi & Eric Buck knock this out in about 2 mins. pic.twitter.com/tBFUqlZvcG

There’s tape on the floor for the players to visualize the spots, but there really isn’t much else a player can do in the ballroom. Dance? The players can’t shoot.
Giving the players the day off is common before Game 2, but to conduct a walkthrough in a ballroom is pretty comical.
