Bulls vs Pistons 7pm CT Feb. 11 2025

Is Ball done for the season?

Good thing he just signed a contract extension!

[Ice Man]

These post—deadline games are the first time I can recall the Bulls actively, and obviously, tanking with their rotations.

This is what it takes. I’m so proud.

That and fielding a roster with no player who could be Top 3 on a contender. Maybe not even Top 4, because while Vuc can help a bad team win some games it's not clear to me that he can so for a good team.

[WindyCityBorn]

We aren’t even competitive anymore since the Zach trade. Vuc is garbage again.

It's a back to back, did I miss something

[Dan Z]

I didn't watch the game. How did Giddey look?

[WindyCityBorn]

Even tanking is not a guaranteed success. I just don't understand why do we have to go through this ordeal.

Every tank has failed.

Derrick Rose was not a tank season. That was luck.

Tanks get us Wendell Carter, Coby, and Patrick Williams.

People play too much NBA 2k and act as a GM. Real rebuilds require a 5 year cycle and not guarantee of success.

Exactly this route takes you to the real NBA hell and most of the time you still won’t build a championship team.

We are about as deep in NBA Hell as you can be right now.

I actually liked watching the Pistons play-tough on D, played hard/smart ball

Interesting to see if these guys have any pride

I assume he is playing tomorrow. I was being tongue in cheek

I’d say Coby and Ayo both have cases as fifth starters on a contender. I have a harder time seeing it with Vuc because center defense is so important.

But yeah, this roster’s trash. Mostly by accident sadly. These line ups they’re trotting out have some intention behind them, though. Which is encouraging.

Reality, losing gets old quick. So although some fans cried for a rebuild, tear it down, whatever this is what a rebuild looks like in real time. It means a ton of butt kickings. Yet the bulls are still getting dragged all over social media even though just last week these same guys were begging the front office to "pick a lane" . Now the same people who cried for a rebuild are currently criticizing this performance as embarrassing. Same thing happened when they traded Jimmy Butler which ultimately came to a head at the all star game where the franchise got booed which led to garpax being fired and akme coming in and was supposed to be the front office to turn things around. Just so we can be here watching us repeat the same exact strategy.

So now if we don't get a top pick this move won't be justified and another 5 years of bad is on the way. I said when we traded Jimmy we could go the next 10 years being horrible and well we close to that.

[PJSteven22]

I think Giddey will get picked as our "top performer" with 11 points.

He's well on his way to earning that $30M per year extension!

Pat $18 mil

Giddey $30 mil

Huerter $20 mil

Vuc $20 mil

We have the pieces in place, now we just have to execute.

This is exactly what he’s thinking.

[meekrab]

Hey look on the bright side, we won the second half!

[Indomitable]

Coby looks like a keeper

[LikeMike23]

Zach should receive MVP votes, given how bad this team is without him.

[SalmonsSuperfan]

Trying to watch Latin American soccer and Josh Giddey has interrupted with the worst postgame interview I’ve ever seen (not heard but it seems excruciatingly long). Just terrible. They lost by 40 points to the pistons. I didn’t need to know this information, costa azul is cleaning up and I’m interested in that game.

I’ve been saying, the white sox are a better team to watch than the bulls. That’s something to say. They’re both garbage right, but we don’t have a choice. At least you can understand the Sox gm’s strategy. What is the logic with the bulls? 9-10 garbage players is the meme. But you trade Zach and that’s it? They dumped his salary for some garbage and no picks. They’re still trying to win games and lost to the worst team the nba has ever seen by 40 points (maybe that bobcats team was worse). This isn’t “the tank in effect” this is just a bad basketball team being led by a stupid person. The leadership needs to change big time.

[Mk0]

Huerter is such a tank commander.

I tried to tell y'all. Dude has been washed for 2 years.

Maybe he gets his jumper back, but that still doesn't make him any good.

[WindyCityBorn]

Someone give a reason to care about this team anymore. And don’t say Buzelis.

Tank intentions.

Very encouraging!

There is no way we are good next season either.

We are legit tanking for next season too.

Coby has no case for a starter on a good team, unreliable offensively and trash defensively.
