Just messing with ya. They are a bad matchup for the whole league but even worse for us.

I still dont trust them in the playoffs. Look at what happened last year.

I highly doubt they could get worse than SA with the Bulls being up 2 wins. But the 8th spot is possible. Miami is playing better, and Portland has winnable games, both teams play the Bulls....

A smart team goes for the draft odds knowing they are stuck in the play-in, and have zero chance in the playoffs.

We basically are stuck together by bobby pins and masking tape. People seem to forget that. If anything that will do us in before anything else.

Coby and Giddey were playing amazing in the month of March. They have looked gassed and out of sync the last two games. We will most likley crawl to the finish line.

My guess is we finish 10th and play Miami on the road for the play-in. Then be in position to grab a lottery pick.

This is a massive mismatch

Got home from the store and watched some baseball before switching over for the second half. Yep, I didn't expect much this game but was definitely hoping for less than a 35 point deficit at half.

Now I am not saying teams in the West cant knock them off. But they are much better equipped to deal with the problems vs last year. Basically all their role players are playing an A+ version of themselves. Unless in the playoffs, all of them start playing less then, I see them in the finals.

Maybe this should count as 2 losses.

I highly doubt they could get worse than SA with the Bulls being up 2 wins. But the 8th spot is possible. Miami is playing better, and Portland has winnable games, both teams play the Bulls....

A smart team goes for the draft odds knowing they are locked in the play-in spot, and have zero chance in the playoffs.

I see the Bulls landing a top 4 pick. Chicago being good is great for the league. Silver will make the call.

C Jalen Smith / Zach Collins
F Matas Buzelis / Patrick Williams
F Ace Bailey / Kevin Huerter / Julian Phillips
G Coby White / Ayo Dosunmu / Dalen Terry
G Josh Giddey / Lonzo Ball

Out :: Vooch, Carter, Tre Jones

Ratings would be crazy next season.

Everyone besides Matas was absolutely horrible.

I knew we would get blown out. This is worse than I expected though.

Alright! Back to the $20M table. :lol:

Coby having himself the $10M man shrug night.

I feel like OKC juiced the rims to make misses sound worse than usual. These clangs are really clanging.

WindyCityBorn · Post #52 » by **WindyCityBorn** » Tue Apr 1, 2025 1:35 am

Coby with 5 shots. Is he afraid or something?

Bulls lose by 50?

WindyCityBorn · Post #55 » by **WindyCityBorn** » Tue Apr 1, 2025 1:37 am

Pull all the starters. Only thing left is for bad injury to make this game worse.

NecessaryEvil · Post #56 » by **NecessaryEvil** » Tue Apr 1, 2025 1:41 am

Raptors, Blazers and Hornets all next. Likely wins.

If Giddey gets a TDub, it will be one of his more improbable and ugliest ones ever for him. Frankly he doesnt deserve it tonight lol

I think the starters are done. At least they should be done.

Guess I’m wrong. Donovan wants to get someone hurt in a game that’s over.

I say we keep Pat in so he can get his first 20 point game of the season.

Post #60 » by **DASMACKDOWN** » Tue Apr 1, 2025 1:49 am

They are shooting 63% from 3. I cant blame the Bulls for that. 18-29
