Did the Hornets have KD and Harden?

Ok, so Jerami Grant, Harrison Barnes, or Batum?

KD saying they don't want to see us in the play offs... Hes not wrong.

30 seconds on Twitter and it felt like the narrative about the East and the Bulls has already completely shifted

Bulls just need someone with size who is quick enough to make Durant work for his shots.

If they have that to go along with a healthy Caruso (who they can put on either Harden or Kyrie) then I'd like to think we'd have a chance.

I remember that game and Matt Thomas is no Eric Piatkowski

I see you come from the Jim Boylan School of Coaching.

If Zach and DDR are going to turnover the ball a lot against top teams while Vooch plays like the shortest player on the court, and these top teams outshoot the Bulls from 3, they won't win against them.

4 games in 5 days. No need to burn them out.

I'd rather they continuously get embarrassed during all 4 of those games so they can be humbled a bit more. No sense maintaining first place and acting like everything is fine when there are some major issues to be fixed.

Even better, they had Sean May.

If they play like this again, we’re going to get our assess kicked again.

Like the prior 2 games, dont sweat or take much from this.

you guys on a back to back missing some key role guys. Only thing id take is what we knew, the nets are a completely different animal with Kyrie on the floor.

Hopefully that will change on Friday

We can’t fall in love with our young guys. We have a window for a title this season. Need to trade one of Coby or ayo with PW for a defensive minded big. At least 6-10

PistolP · Post #738 » by **PistolP** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 5:16 am

No excuses, this was an awful effort in the 2H. Been worried about our defense during the win streak and it’s finally catching up to us. Also need a real PF.

That said, I do think the DJJ injury messed with our game plan. DJJ could have at least tried to guard Durant 1x1. Instead Billy just started sending doubles right away and that let their shooters get hot. The couple times we beat them, we let Durant get his but locked the rest of the team down.

This "nobody can guard Durant so it doesn't matter who we have guarding him" attitude of yours is just plain stupid
