Both my wife and daughter have developed inordinate interest in Josh Giddey. Not sure if that's good or bad lol.

I had this one as a W coming in. LAL on the 2nd half of a B2B. But they clearly were bent on revenge and came with gameplan for Coby. They were tripling him and punishing him on drives (good glipse of playoff basketball). Going into the 4th, I kept telling myself that our pace will tire them out this quarter, but then they went down 15+ and I said, "oh well", and then...

Coby deserves serious kudos for recognizing the pressure and generating 9ast/2to and going 5 of 10 from 3.

Giddey, not much more to say except that he'll need to apologize to Coby when he denies him his 3rd Player of the Week honor. I will say I was amused that somehow Josh figured out how to end his chest push 3pt heave with a gooseneck pose. Also, I hadn't heard his "SLOB Wizard" nickname.

I'm still baffled how Huerter managed to end up with 5 3's, it felt like he couldn't get anything to fall all game. He has been the guy who gives us the intangibles after Jones went down, who did it when Ball went down. I get "Giddey" thinking about the impact of those 2 coming back.

Like many here, I'm hot and cold on Pat. Happy that he made that clutch 3. Although he did get burned by Reeves at the end. Still, he seems less mistake prone these days and is taking shots that are more in his wheelhouse.

Matas had an ok game, but he had 2 or 3 amazing moves in the first quarter that ended in shots that just wouldn't go down.

Now that we’ve come down from the shot, can we have a discussion about (1) what, exactly, Pat was doing defensively in the last Reeves shot, and (2) why Vuc was on the floor on the final defensive possession?

How to tell the Bulls are back.

I just came here to say, "Wow!"

That is all.

Saw a few threads in the General Board. Feels like it’s been a minute since we got talked about again.

The top 6 threads on the NBA reddit were all Bulls. Between the 9 points in 12 seconds, the half-court game winning pose in front of Lebron, the Lakers guy, and the world being introduced to Stacey King it's become a media sensation.

I think the social media most talked about thing was Stacey.

[Shill]

Okay, I'm completely checked out on the season, but that ending was epic.

Can't wait for Pat minutes to become Lonzo minutes

Can't wait for Pat minutes to become Lonzo minutes

And Terry minutes to go to Jones.

picked a bad game to miss.

Have watched the highlights dozens of times already.

I love seeing the United Center rocking again.

Orlando and Atlanta both lost last night so the win was huge, 7th seed is a possibility

What was up with DFS shoving Huerter at one point? It was so weird, he seemed angry about something but no one really reacted to the shove and he didn't follow up the shove with anything else. I do like that Giddey got over there right away, dislike that every other Bulls was kind of slow to get over (even though it did seem like a bunch of nothing). Giddey's not only our best player, he's immediately ready to standup for his teammates. He's a leader.

This team believes in itself, they could have folded when down 18 in the 4th but they kept fighting. No matter what situations they face moving forward they'll always have this game in mind as to what's possible when you keep fighting.

11 3's in the 4th is insane. The Magic average less than 11 3-point makes per game.

So we have 2 candidates for MIP? Who gets more votes?

One takeaway - if you dont like Adam & Stacey on the call you have a big ol dump in your pants

Somewhere in a robe, Nico Harrison is sitting on the floor of a dark room rocking back and forth in a pile of his own filth while clutching this picture and mumbling “I knew I was right” over and over and over again to no one.

Great call! I am not a Stacey fan overall, but he's as good as they ever get when his team makes a big shot.

Stacey is awesome and never the problem. He is who he is. The problem is he needs a straight man.

Another problem could be that the Bulls haven’t been fun enough to fill the airtime too. Perhaps down the road when we actually matter and are playing entertaining ball every night they’ll stop filling time with their 1920s radio comedy act.

yeah, that was an all timer. I appreciate these new Bulls bringing back the tradition of beating lebron in the regular season.

[WindyCityBorn]

Coby-Giddey-Matas looks like a pretty decent core all of a sudden. You put a 1-A next to them and you're looking at something pretty good, but that's the hard part - getting 1-As is the hardest thing to do in the NBA (unless you're the Lakers). All-NBA types just don't change teams in FA anymore and we don't have the assets to acquire one unless they're old and well past their prime.

No thanks. Tired of wash up stars using Chicago as a retirement package on their way out.

[ChettheJet]

I've seen the Bulls win plenty of games at the buzzer, seen plenty of wild finishes, seen them lose in a dozen different heartbreaking ways, pre, post and with Jordan, but that was the wildest, most unpredictable crazy finish I've ever seem.



Just amazing

To those of you blaming Williams for Reaves being able to score, he had two primary assignments, Lebron and Luka, the other four guys could at least get back and get in the way of somebody unless you expect the guy you consider a big zero should cover everybody on the floor. He shot scored 11, shot 50% total, 5 rebounds and 4 assists and 0 turnovers.
