Succeeding.


Claiming success based on absolutely nothing. I thought it was just a joke, but he might actually work in the Bulls FO.


Succeeding in being humorous.

There are some great fans on this platform. There are a lot of wet blankets who just want to be right about how bad we are too.

"We didn't rebuild how I wanted so I hope they lose" types.

Every game.....Vuc is terrible, DDR is terrible, Donovan is terrible, AKME is terrible.

it's perfectly fine to want your team to be better but when you build your personality around complaining that's an issue.

I decided to read the last two game threads in their entirety. Last game, no one said any of that stuff except for one poster who after complimenting the team, added “Billy still sucks.” That’s it. 3 words in the whole thread from one poster.

And there was nothing at all like that in this thread.

I don’t deny that sometimes we get posters who come in with a schtick, create an online “personality” and then beat it to death in thread after thread after thread. You, for example. I have been on this board for 20 years. It happens and it’s always unfortunate when it does.

But you also might to want to consider that most of us don’t do that. We are just stating our opinions. And certainly many of them are negative, depending on the topic and the poster.

Creating fictional and barely existent scenarios to get upset over. Sounds like fun.

And the Billy still sucks poster was right. But I may have a little bias.

That was the game he left the starters in way too long despite having overplayed them already this season. The whole Chicago media agreed.

More like, depending on the game results. I know I'm that way. Win and everything is rosy glasses. Lose and Armageddon is approaching.

On that fast break towards the end where Caruso got fouled and he was bracing himself against the basket support - he just looked so beat upand just spent I wonder how much he has left to give at this point. Don’t think Bulls can afford to lose him but I worry about him sometimes.

Yeah, game threads are by nature reactionary, full of in the moment hot takes. Not a whole lot of time to come up with a well thought out, researched comment when you're trying to watch the game.

I don't hold it against anyone for having some heat of the moment takes in a game thread.

Game threads and regular threads are two separate distinct things IMO. If you want level headed discussion, that's what regular threads are for.

This is all moot anyway since what the troll is whining about makes up like 1% of posts.

Your sentences say that the game threads are full of this and then they say that they don't exist. Make your sentences make sense.

I need him to help me win stocks this week and my god he looked like he was about to just go lay in a hospital bed at times in the game.

He should probably be shut down for a couple weeks but he's a tough SOB and I've gained a lot of respect for him this year. He's also realized he has to shoot when he's open, even if he misses. That's been nice to see with him.

Don't worry. If the Bulls are up by 30 going into Q4 tonight he will still play 6 more minutes.

I'm assuming some sort of delivery delay.

Playing well now after his slow start.

Pay somebody to deliver you a brand new temporary bed or two the same day? Sleep at a hotel? You make 30M a season lol, don't sleep on an air mattress and do that to your body.

Return to Chicago Bulls
