Drama

I mean, if you are 1-14 from the game with a game worst -19 +/-, maybe just sit this one out.

[BigbadB]

That was painful to watch. Now that I live where I can watch all of the games, I'm finding it difficult to sit through some of these games. Yuck.

Stuff like that is what makes it easy to dismiss LaVine as a stat compiler incapable of winning.

[David]

of course they beat the celtics who had won 9 in a row lol

Last year, the Bulls were 1-15 against the Heat, Celtics, Bucks and Sixers and 45-21 against everyone else.

 

This year, the Bulls are 3-1 against the Heat, Celtics, Bucks and Sixers, and 4-9 against everyone else.

3-2 right? wins were Boston, Boston and Miami. Losses to Boston and Philly

[UMFan83]

Also the Bulls are 7-2 on Monday-Thursday and 0-8 on Friday-Sunday

Yes, I missed that the Bulls have already played the Celtics 3x.

And now the Bulls win in Milwaukee. What a weird team

Somebody monkey pawed this season good.

[Old Style]

Fun game tonight. Adam Amin probably needs a throat lozenge or 12 after that one.

[ChiCubsFan]

Impressive W. If they can shoot that well and play defense that hard most nights, they would be a very good team. The defensive rebounding was very bad, as was Zach.

[Old Style]

What in the fresh hell is this nonsense?

 

Mock trade has Sixers acquiring Lonzo Ball from Bulls in 3-team deal

 

The fake trade proposal

 

Sixers get: Alex Caruso, Lonzo Ball

 

Lakers get: Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle, Nikola Vucevic

 

Bulls get: Russell Westbrook, Kendrick Nunn, Lakers 2027 first round pick, Lakers’ 2029 first round pick, rights to swap with Sixers’ 2024 first round pick, Sixers’ 2029 first round pick

[Wilson A2000]

Shouldn’t be losing to the Thunder, but then again the Bulls can’t win on Fridays and lose to bad teams and beat good teams. Why Donovan doesn’t insist on feeding the ball to Vooch in the post when he has the size advantage boggles my mind. How can everyone else see that but Donovan and the players can’t?

“Meanwhile, the Bulls are minus-6.0 when DeRozan, Vucevic, and LaVine share the floor. That’s unacceptable. (They were minus-1.1 last year.)”

[Sammy Sofa]

[expletive], that is a depressing read.

[expletive], that is a depressing read.

All Chicago sports teams are a tire fire. It's a really bad time to be a fan.

[Old Style]

Vooch was a completely different player in pre-season. Had me excited since I was not a fan last season. Unfortunately save for a few small stretches from what I've seen (including early last night night) he's the same old waste of space from last season. The loss of Ball has been monumental to the Bulls struggles. Just a major blow.

What a terrible trade the Vuc deal is turning out to be...

[We Got The Whole 9]

In hindsight we should have just picked up Valanciunas off the scrap heap.

Last year his acquisition was defended because it helped bring DeRozan here. 1 because they were teammates at USC, but also because it assured DeRozan that he wasn't joining a lottery team going nowhere. DeRozan has been awesome and brought many great moments last year but in hindsight it may have been better if DeRozan didn't come here, causing us to build this mismatched win-now-but-not-nearly-good-enough team.

 

You could also say though that the moves were fine but not adding any high volume shooters to this mix was a death sentence. LaVine has lost explosiveness but as that article brings up, a lot of his ineffectiveness at the rim can be attributed to spacing issues. Teams are packing the paint and daring the Bulls to burn them deep but we can't. It really has me questioning what AKME is doing.

Guess his seat isnt getting hot....
