If we had never drafted Jordan none of us would care about that team lol

Jordan saved the franchise from being one of the worst in sports

The sad thing is, they were one of the premier brands in professional sports and they completely squandered it.  Even if they get good again we are like 3 generations removed from Jordan and most people under 40 have no recollection of him on the Bulls.

Only ego bigger than Jordan's was Jerry Krause's

Billy is a good head coach compared to the rest of the Bulls organization. He won in college and OKC. But everything else is terrible. They have no plan.  I’ve never seen a fan base support a team so well that is so bad. 

Maybe he is, the Bulls have not seen much of it other than spurts. He's been here long enough, that we should have seen progress being made. 

Getting MJ was both a blessing and a curse. He made Reinsdorf and family a lot of money but unfortunately MJ and company made Reinsdorf and family a lot of money.

No one is winning with this roster

Another game and the Bulls are getting blasted at half. This is what a team that just doesn't give a horsefeathers looks like.

I'm enjoying the Bulls imploding, hopefully they fall ass backwards into another franchise player. It's our only chance at relevance.

Today I learned that as part of the D Rose retirement festivities this is an actual promo for the Dec 17 game. I mean God, are they trying to honor him or shame him?

Another loss to an awful team last night. In fact they've been losing to completely awful teams almost every game lately. Here's their opposition's record at the time of the game over their last 8 losses, during which the Bulls have 1 win

Pelican 5-22

Warriors 13-12

Pacers 5-18

Nets 5-16

Magic 13-8

Pacers 4-16

Hornets 5-14

Pelicans 3-15

 

Their 1 win was against a 7-18 Charlotte

The Bulls somehow lose to bad teams and beat good teams

They need to make sure that they have ****** drafting position so that they're stuck in perpetual mediocrity.

[Tryptamine]

They beat another .500 team. Please be either good or bad enough to end this just mediocre enough to completely screw your draft picks while also missing the playoffs.

[muntjack]

It seems pretty clear that when Buzelis gets substantial minutes, the team is better.   Ayo should be getting heavy run every night,  as well.

If it's me,  I look to move Vuc and Coby, and ask Pwill if he wants to be team manager or something.  

Put together some sort of defense and build around Buzelis and Giddey.  

 

 

[The_Achiever]

I think Okoro coming back has really helped them and a big reason why they've started winning again.  On a team of mostly turnstiles, he's clearly our best defensive player.  I thought it was dumb to give Lonzo another contract but very nice how they flipped him for Okoro.  

I still think there's so much roster/contract flexibility here.  In addition, their flaws are so clearly evident even a basketball novice could see them.

bulls BACK (to .500 and play-in territory)

[bukie]

All 10 players that saw the floor scored between 7 and 15 points, which is wild.

Right in the sweet spot. Oh, yeah. That sweet, sweet, mediocrity.
