Bulls vs Bucks 7pm CT Dec. 23 2024

[Stratmaster]

Losing to the Bucks, without their two best players, and some people want to go all-in with this roster...?

Who wants to go all in with this roster?

[Stratmaster]

For anyone paying attention to the standings:
The Hawks and Heat both won today. The Pacers play the Warriors later tonight.

Are people still thinking that The Bulls could climb up a few spots and even push for the 5th seed?

Also, the Sixers won again.

Yes. My opinion of the season did not change because of 1 game. The Heat were expected to win. Orlando lost. As expected. The problem is the Bulls didn't win as expected. Which means they have to win in Milwaukee and could really use a win against the Hawks.

What happened youse guys? The one game I don't watch and ask you to have my back... and the Bulls get blown out. I was going to add "at home". But that is a given.

Why this team can't play well in Chicago is beyond comprehension.

I've seen posts where people want to keep Zach/Vuc and push to win as much as possible.

This is how we look without a PG.

Zo and Giddey being out makes us look a lot different.

One has injury concerns and the other defense/shooting issues. What do you think AK should do at the deadline (or off season)?

Actually I dunno. IMO he shot himself in the foot by not hard tanking out the gate. Now we’re gonna have to fight to be worse than the other 10 tank jobs. Otherwise we give SAS an 11th f’ing pick.

If they can dump Zach/Vuc/Lonzo for some draft capital, I think the losses alone will pay off. But the situation’s critical. The culmination of these starters nets like, one ambiguous distant FRP, a top-10 protected pick, or a few 2nd rounders and some salary talent back (ie MPJ). Loss ville.

Worst game of the season-I guess it's a tank win, but they played terrible all night

Well I want to keep Zach. Only trade Vuc for a reasonable return and push to win as much as possible.

I also want to trade Williams, Coby, Terry and Craig. And Phillips if necessary.

The people wanting to go all in with this roster are the ones wanting to trade Zach and Vuc for next to nothing, try to lose, and then go forward with all those players I listed plus Ayo and Matas and the legendary superstar we are sure to draft at 8 or 9 because we are now a completely talentless team and we got to keep our pick

Oops. When did that happen? Lol. Damn it. My plan has failed.

Zach and Vucevic have been here for 5 years and made the playoffs one time (an easy loss to Milwaukee). It'll be two times if they get to the playoffs this season.

How far do you think a Zach lead team will go? I think the people who want to trade him, and keep the pick, want to move in a new direction. What AK has been doing the past 5 seasons hasn't worked.

We're basically doing the old Detroit model. Not committing to a tank and not good enough to contend. Keep picking in the #7 - #15 range. Trade a few #1 picks away.

2009-2020. 11 years of "rebuilding."

an un-fun reminder of what the team looks like without an offensive playmaker like Giddey or Lonzo. Woof.
