Let’s hope that doesn’t come through.

The Bulls are going to be the last play-in team in the 10th spot. Didn't much matter who plays.

Well the Raptors are like us deciding to keep winning which is infuriating their tank fans

Its 3 games back if we lose

Toronto is my hope.

I dont think we have any bad defenders on the roster anymore

As we have been saying, it actually shouldn't be eye opening what Zach Collins is doing. Its not even particularly special.

Its just brings to light what Vooch isn't doing.

We are running no plays for Zach, yet he still is producing at the same rate as Vooch.

How the hell is Jevonte playing in Cleveland all of a sudden ? He was in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago. I guess there really is 5 Jevontes out there.

The Raps also have the easiest schedule remaining too.

C'mon Raps, you know you want the final play-in spot!

They don’t. Apparently no one does, half the league is tanking.

The Cavs played with their food.

Cavalanche

Collins proves how truly awful Vuc is.

Buz slowly coming along. Already way past Pat. Buz makes it look easy. Pat makes everything look impossible.

I've said before that I have always kind of liked Collins's game, but it's remarkable how differently things are working out here vs. a few games I saw with the Spurs. Seemed like he was always in the middle of things for them when he was on the floor, but he would just barely miss out on a rebound, get a disputed foul, have a nifty putback roll out, juuust miss out on a loose ball, just grinding and grinding - and then back to the bench with another foul. I think the minutes here are helping him play a little freer, but a couple of those missed layups and fouls when he got frustrated looked familiar. With all the guys around that don't seem to take it seriously enough, I think he could actually stand to ease up a little sometimes. There is no better spot in the league for him to be than here - I hope he can stay healthy and it finally happens for him here, we need him desperately.

Why did the Bulls exercise Dalen Terry's contract option?

Missed the game and just watching highlights and seriously THT could win a highlights MVP award.

When you watch highlights he looks like the best player in the league lol

That's just insane.

Idiocy?

There’s no world where they couldn’t have declined the option and brought him back on a vet minimum if they wanted to. He’s going to the G League or China soon.

Yeah, Terry and Phillips just dont look good. They are still young, but I just dont see something extra. They will get another year of run to show anything.

Btw. THT had good game, but I really just hate it when he or White go blind horse mode.. they dont see s**t around them, they just go attack mode.. THT has been playing like that whole career,when he is on, he looks decent, when he is not, its trash street style..

Collins, Smith had good C games, stats filled up, Matas also solid, just 3pt shot was not falling..

Sunk cost, same as with Pat. AK is a walking example of the sunk-cost fallacy.

Even when we were up, this game was never in doubt. I root for entertaining games where guys who will be here next year play well. You can say we are trying to win, but kudos to Billy for sitting everyone with a hangnail.

I want to not root for Coby because he does get into chuck mode, but he is our defact #1 option, and I prefer an aggressive Coby to a passive one. He sucks on defense, but he does get credit for effort.

I want to really like what Collins is doing out there, but I get itchy when Stacy likes him so much. He's a solid, smart player who hustles, rebounds and passes well. Reminds me of one of my faves Hartenstein. Also like his instant chemistry with Matas and Giddey.

Matas is inconsistent but I like to see his skills on display. His playmaking skills are another unexpected dimension.

THT is such a black hole that he's hard to watch, but I ask myself would I prefer this or to watch PWill drive the rim and lose the ball every time.

I do root hard for Terry and Phillips, but I don't like the fact that neither has showed up when given this big opportunity.

I don't understand why Billy can't try Smith for minutes at PF. He is clearly quick and skilled enough to do it, and would be our best PF.
