Almost the same but considering he's our best player available tonight..

most of the posts in this thread are about dunn and i think we should hold "the future of the franchise" lauri to a higher standard than we hold dunn to. and lauri is putrid right now.

He should be and he's been bad BUT he's not a shot creator at the moment. Few big men are. They rely on guard play. And the spacing (or lack of) doesn't help

Captain caveman out there trying to keep the Bulls within 40

If I was Gar/Pax we would have Gobert right now. Just sayin'

Why do keep running this 1-5 pick and roll vs their best defenders in Rubio and Gobert over and over?

The Jazz are really, really good for a team with no high draft picks, no prominent FAs, just good basketball people, a good coach, and underrated veteran players. They're not going to win the West but I do admire them.

They play moving the ball,not relying only on Rubio as a playmaker, sharing the ball, really good to watch.

He probably beats Shaq Harrison in scrimmages, but not every time

One half is about all the attention I can give to this game, which is probably about 18 more minutes of attention paid to the game than the Bulls have given.

Meanwhile, after beating these Jazz on Thursday the Hawks are up 8 on Philly tonight with 6 minutes left. Anybody still worried that we might catch them?

That covers it nicely.

this team gave up 70 points in a half and is down by 34. the jazz could have scored 0 points in the first quarter and would still be ahead. it's more than just dunn folks. actually it's basically just lavine and porter. really important players.

Lauri with 6 and 7.
Gobert is tough but gotta try and stat pad to 20 points.
Obviously a double double at least.

He watched passively Rubio assisting Gobert for a 2, seems to uninterested

And right after today's Tribune article, about how he plays so well when LaVine is out of the lineup.

He lacks consistency at best.Please let's give up on him for next season,I don't want him on my team even as backup.

I dont remember when did i last time watched full Bulls game. Must be February when Lauri and Zach were killing it together as main players. I just can't watch Dunn-Lopez centric offense. I am so over that. Now I am just waiting for draft who we get to replace Dunn.

The Jazz are the better team regardless of who the Bulls play, but yeah...no Lavine, Porter, Carter, and even Hutch is way too much to overcome. Take 3 of the Jazz’s top 5 out and a solid bench piece and they’d likely look like a G league team....

Sadly, the Bulls look like an X, Y, or Z league team.

WOW this is a receiving end of a blowout for the ages.

bearadonisdna · Post #98 » by **bearadonisdna** » Sun Mar 24, 2019 1:11 am

It’s easy to feel bad about the game but the bulls were riding a 2 gm win streak

Me too,half game of that mess is sufficient for me.

It's interesting, I think the regular season is becoming less popular and the playoffs more
