[We Got The Whole 9]

They are really getting handled by the tanking Wizards tonight.

I would use the term UGLY. 

Hell, even Vuc was pissed about how the Bulls played tonight. Go watch his post-game interview and his body language when some of the young guys were overcelebrating this win.  Vuc was not having any of it and I approve it. 

Bulls got the win, mainly because the Wizards suck. Play better Bulls.

Giddey's numbers are crazy so far this season

Noa Issomewhere was taken 1 pick before Derik Queen, who looks like an absolute future superstar and would fit the rotation like a glove.

Queen is looking good but he's not really skilled at defending the rim, where the Bulls basically rank DFL.  

I am still good with the Noa pick but surprised they didn't take a big at that spot.  Even if it wasn't Queen, there were bigs to be had.  Hopefully they can address their putrid interior defense soon.

Giving up 108 to the 2-15 Pelicans after 3 quarters is not ideal

[Tryptamine]

They've now given up 140+ in 3 of their last 6 and not held anyone below 120 points in their last 10 games. Before tonight's game they were the 4th worst defensive team in the league.

As talented as they can be on offense, they are as lazy on defense. That falls on the HC.

so horsefeathers bad

[BigbadB]

50 three point attempts in a game seems like a lot.

I don't know if they are lazy but the lack of rim protection was on full display again last night.  Not having our best perimeter defender (Okoro) didn't help either.  I hope Zach Collins can get back soon and help but I don't think it will change much.  So frustrating to have such a hole in the roster be ignored for so long.  This has been a problem forever.......

Did Vooch sit out due to an “injury” to send a message to the team that their effort has been poor lately?

Bulls completely getting crapped over by bad teams

Bulls and Hawks are doing their best to make sure Chicago sports fans to only follow the Bears this winter.

The Blackhawks at least have fun young players and give you glimpses of what they might be in a year or two.  The Bulls are forever stuck in mediocrity with no compelling reason to watch.

back to back losses against 2-15 and 4-14 teams, after a 1 point win vs a 1-15 team

3-10 since that 6-1 start and 2 of those 9 wins are of the last second variety. They're the third worst defense in the based on ppg

And somehow beating the Nuggets on the road. 7 guys out last night including Coby never helps. The Bulls are also in desperate need of a rim protector which AK has never given them.

I actually watched the 4th quarter last night since they were on national TV and besides the complete and total lack of defense in the NBA in general, the Bulls inability to handle the pick and roll is an abomination.  Orlando got to the rim with ease every single time they ran one.

[WrigleyField 22]

Well glad I don't have to give AK any credit. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

The division is leaving them in the dust as well. The talent disparity is massive. Giddey is probably the only top 20 player within their division.

[NorthsideAvenger]

The Bulls are uninteresting. And I wish fans would stop showing up at the United Center. 

[The_Achiever]

I'm so mad about the Bulls.  That 6-1 start (against mostly good teams while the Bulls were still missing guys) really got my hopes up.

Even if they did, Jerry wouldn’t care. The White Sox have never drawn well and he has done nothing to make them competitive year in and year out.
