Let's be real here. It's a contract year. Giddey is playing unless they find something is broken in that wrist.

GO BULLS!

Obviously he will play. He played the last game against Miami. No need to play him in a meaningless game.

If the Bulls can eventually beat the Heat on Wednesday, who should Bulls fans root for in Magic-Hawks on Tuesday? I assume Magic because hard to imagine them losing twice in a row at home, but I also love how bad they are at three pointers, giving the Bulls a chance to win via math.

Here . We . Go .

We get Heat.. then the Magic.. then Cavs in 7.. great season!

My gut has continuously told me that Heat are going to win. Now, that’s probably my Play-In PTSD talking. On the other hand…the Bulls have won their first playin game 2 years in a row as we all know. Both those wins were on the back of Zach exploding 2nd half vs Toronto, and Coby having a career game against Hawks.

It’s going to take all hands on deck to eliminate Miami. They aren’t the Heat of the previous seasons but they can get it done, and they play hard like we do.

I’m off work Wednesday and will be nervous all day. Not ready for this to end.

Last note….if Matas somehow has a big game in a win…board will go crazy, and I’d love that beyond words!

why would you want the Magic over Atlanta? Orlando is 7-3 in the last 10 with Wagner and Banchero putting up over 50 ppg.

Well for one they can’t shoot.

Orlando is the #1 defensive team in the league giving up 105 ppg. They are also #2 in turnovers forced at 16.2 & they limit teams to an NBA best 31 3PA per game.

Would be really nice to get Lonzo or Jones back

Can't look past this game. The game will be close, but if we execute and limit our turnovers, we should be able to pull out the W.

Gonna be watching Giddey and Coby closely here as this will be the first game that truly matters. If they both lay a giant egg, it'll be interesting to see what the team will do in the offseason. I don't necessarily mind it if they lose the game (higher shot at the lottery), but I did want these guys to proceed further and maybe even make the playoffs. Miami will be physical for sure and will target any/all of our starters. This is where it would've been nice to have Ayo or Ball because they can at least hold their own on defense.

Also, is ESPN the only one showing this game? I cut the cord completely (don't even have Youtube TV anymore) so I've been relying on CHSN via antenna. Don't wanna sail the high seas but might have to.

Isn't this the 3rd time bulls have faced the heat on the play-in? Can't escape them it seems.

Edit:
2024 Bulls lost to Heat in 2nd game
2023 Bulls lost to Heat in 2nd game

Beat the Heat!

Yep, Lonzo got that extension locked down and was like "See ya next year!"

I am not the only one that is kind of disgusted. He played most of the season with it.
