Dubs @ Bulls, RS GT 40, 14 Jan 2021, 6:30 PM CT, NBCSCH

[HomoSapien]

Bulls forgot how to play defense. ugh.

they didn't forget, they just arent trying

They’re shell-shocked.

[RSP83]

We need more players with dogs in them. This team really miss Caruso and Green. I really miss Joakim, the guy is such an emotional locker room leader. It's amazing that Jo can still help that team be competitive after Derrick injury.

[R3AL1TY]

If Klay Thompson ever gets 100%, it's hard seeing anyone beating the Warriors.

[WindyCityBorn]

Hopefully this propels the team to acquire Jerami Grant

Not at the cost of Williams or another 1st round pick. Rather punt the season.

Ugh. Williams screams “good” but not “great”...and in about 4 years or more from now when he finally grows up some and gets his confidence (nothing against him...a pretty natural NBA growth curve for young guys).

No worries. You’ll get your wish. Ownership now has an excuse to follow their usual M.O.

And Grant is just OK and isn’t the missing piece to a championship so why trade for him?

[Dan Z]

It's embarrassing.

[Herrdoktor33]

Not even losing by 40 they call that foul on Thomas. Next play they call it for them.

to be fair, they looked like this before Lavine got hurt. And last game. Warriors shot a wide open 3 on their first 5 possessions and made 4 of them I believe

[umfan83]

The Bucks just blew them out last night. They had won 1 of their last 5 coming into tonight. The Bulls were their get right team

[imagge]

The Bulls are going to lose to Boston and Memphis, when will the losses end?

[RastaBull]

This is embarrassing. Back to back national TV games and they just look like complete trash.

For everything so great going this year, especially the loads and loads of credit I think Billy D deserves ... I think there's some MASSIVE blame on the coach for these two performances.

Of course hte players are hte one coming out and playing like crap, but Billy come one, get your team ready, sheesh. This is horrendous.

We didn’t look particularly sharp, but it was only 14-10. I mean it just seemed to completely deflate them. Our depth obviously isn’t good right now. I also think you all are seeing something in McKinnie that I’m not. He just doesn’t strike me as being very good. Having to lean on him this much has killed us.

[RSP83]

He hates TBJ. I'm convinced.

it's weird. Yes, McKinnie hustles but TBJ is more skilled (and productive).

Indeed. TBJ is having a stellar night. 20 mins, O points, 1 rebound, 2 assists. We ought to be feeding him.

TBJ is a guy million dollar skill and potential, but 1 dollar mental. Without Zach, he has opportunity to step up and make a difference. We'll see how he looks like going forward.

Reminds me of guys like Terry Rozier, when Kyrie was out he stepped in and really take advantage of that opportunity. None of the guys we have now seems to be capable of doing that.

[Wingy]

It's clear the Bulls poor play is more than playing good teams. It just sucks that we started playing like this right as we went through a gauntlet of good opponents. No rest for the weary.

We are missing so many key guys. IF we can ever get healthy (big if) at the same time, it’s not gonna look like this.

Lots of teams are missing guys, most of them don't lose by 30+ at home in back to back games. 3 of our top 4 players are playing. Warriors are missing 2 of their 4 best. This isn't just 'we don't have Caruso and Green so our defense is going to suck and we'll lose by 10'. This is a 'why do they keep turning it over unforced and why are they constantly letting guys blow by them for layups without help defense, where is the effort' type of stretch

We ain’t the Warriors, no one is. Doesn’t make sense to compare us to the favorite, and a reigning mini-dynasty that drafted at a historically great rate, then were further aided by the one-time cap balloon. They’re still benefiting from the latter in the form of Wiggins.

Missing Caruso, and Green, and DJJ, and despite his young inconsistency, Pat would certainly help at times...and Zach. And I’m sure they’re pretty mentally shell-shocked by Zach’s injury.

[cowraiser]

damn that Wilt stat is crazy

[RastaBull]

Last two games, I don't know what it is, but Ball looks like he doesn't care to play. His defense has been pretty lazy and laissez faire. And he's not moving or doing anything on offense (to be fair, that's a criticism many have said throughout the year about it him).

We're seeing that if his defense, and the Bulls collective defense, isn't leading to turnovers and pushing the ball then he's not doing much offensively.

Still love him ... but this needs to change. Caruso needs to get back and help bring some energy to these vets that are just utterly lazy and don't care right now.

[HomoSapien]

That Bradley layup attempt was shockingly sad.

[HOTCARL_o]

Let's get some better End of the bench players and 2 Ways. Thomas, Marko and Dotson just taking up room at this point.

[Repeat 3-peat]

The Bulls horrible defense is helping but Kuminga is going to be a damn good player.

[WindyCityBorn]

That Bradley layup attempt was shockingly sad.

He is charmin soft. 7 feet tall and plays like he is 6’5”.

[HomoSapien]

Let's get some better End of the bench players and 2 Ways. Thomas, Marko and Dotson just taking up room at this point.

I really think we need to waive Simonovic, unless we think there’s a chance to develop him. We could really use that roster spot for someone who can contribute during these injury waves.
