Vooch's slow feet almost cost us 8 straight points, but he hits the shot in the paint.

good god

Vucci Mane with the statement

jordanwilliams6 · Post #143 » by **jordanwilliams6** » Tue Mar 25, 2025 3:21 am

Playing Vuc is just pure entitlement at this point.

He doesn't help us win and he isn't part of our future. We're better of benching him entirely and dumping him in the offseason.

To some it will look like Vuc sealed the win with that last bucket, ignoring that he gave up like 5 easy layups and dunks with ZERO contesting on the other end.

One problem. There isn't.

The talent at 7 is going to be very close to the talent at 16.

I'm glad the Bulls are playing well I'm sure you are as well. But that is just not true.

Giddey/White

Best young backcourt in the NBA.

We had like 9 huge hustle plays before we subbed him in and gave up a Denver run.
He is just too slow, isn't rebounding and can't block a shot to save his life. If he isn't hitting his 3 he is so painful to watch.

Which is crazy because he carried us to start the season. He was super consistent.

Youve got a bench mob that you can just play the hot hand

There is a clear top 5 (possibly 6 with KJ) that I like. You can throw a blanket over 7-15 though.

I don't think picking at 12 compared to say 8 or 9 is a big deal given the clear and obvious improvements to young core pieces in Coby, Giddey & Matas.

Bulls with the D U B

Coby & Josh were special once again.

37/4/4 for Coby
26/9/8 for Josh

Who do you think they get at 7?

My only complaint is 24 minutes for Matas who was playing well on both ends to start the game.

Vuc just doesn’t not belong here anymore. Getting him off of the roster should be priority #1 this offseason. Every minute he plays is a waste. Even when he plays well I rather see the other two.

Give me the bottom stat line all day, every day.

That's elite level production, in fact extend that player.

3/60M sounds perfect.

Not "needing" a draft pick doesn't mean 7th and 15th are the same talent level.

We play a different style of basketball now. Not meant for loafers like him.

Giddey had 26 on 11 shots! Dude got 10 FTAs. That was huge.

And as someone who is always questioning Dalen Terry's game, he dropped 14 points and 4-4 from 3. Dude played a perfect game for his role. Massive game from him.

greenwing · Post #159 » by **greenwing** » Tue Mar 25, 2025 3:28 am

Ironically, the Lavine trade is starting to give Melo to the Knicks vibes given how that trade turned out for Denver. We traded our star player and now we have a very deep squad with players at every position that can compete in every game in any given night. That’s not a recipe for a deep playoff run but it could frustrate some teams depending on matchup in a playoff series. This team is likely one big man star away from being a contender given Coby and Giddey’s current level of play.

Playing Vuc is a pure analytics tank at this point. You can't tell me that Collins / Smith doesn't give you more consistent production for 48 minutes compared to him.

There are compelling non-basketball reasons to play him, but it doesn't seem like the org is into that, which makes his playing time more baffling.
