PG Bulls: Friendly Illinois Brothers conduct successful Deer hunt

[fan230]

There was a large range of reasons why the Bucks were outplayed by the Bulls.

Nicely detailed in:

We lost because this team is so dumb that it can't play any D. All night long they were out of position stuck in no mans land hoping and praying that the Bulls miss. Sound basketball. Nothig has changed.

[Daver]

Ryan Dunn 3-4 from 3 tonight. He would have been perfect of Giddey. Instead, we got Taurean "concrete feet" Prince. Way to go Horst!

JFC dude your man crush gor this guy is bordeting on obsession you ride this guys train like hes your dream fantasy or something.Please stop it he aint no 2nd coming of anybody.In your mind hes a untouchable cause he went 3-4 in 3 pt shooting and dont have a fu... clue how he woukd of faired vs giddy.

We seem to have a good coaching staff so I'm going to hope they can help limit our issues but I just wonder if our style of play is good enough anymore? It might not even matter at all given the roster.

Its the isame issues as last year. Whats changed? And I don't want to hear oh if Mids played we win.

Injuries caused the Bulls to beat us.

[nagawicka]

Took too long to play like we gave a damn. Then, when we really started feeling it as a team and we're within one possession, Giannis decided it was iso time for like four straight terrible possessions. That really deflated us.

Yeah, exactly when the watchability crashed to rock bottom

[Neuromancer56]

Still feeling the need to rotate Pat C in is a sad issue due to bad drafting or development. Some AJ should have all those minutes.

Brook Lopez is an asset on D but those 3s are backbreakers.. just set screens and get your big a%$ in the paint wtf...

Also Dame make 3s.. 3-12 is a$$

Dame had 8-9 on 2s , 3-3 Fts and 8 assists 4 rebounds

Brook had 2-10 Fgs 1-6 3s 4 rebounds same as Lillard on 29 minutes.

We are a joke of an Org , it starts from Giannis acting like a 5 year old and the Bucks Org never gets serious ... instead of Winning mentality all they care is keeping Giannis happy. Well he is happy but we are losing, what a surprise Giannis doesn't know much about building a team. He is the best soldier but he aint a general.

Dame must be our general, Giannis should improve his FTs and his corner 3s. If his corner 3s aint falling he just needs to set screens for Dame or lives in the dunker spot where he belongs since Lillard is here.

I saw Lillard standing in the corner 3 and Giannis at the top of the key and reminded me what Pat Bev said... that Giannis is the worst teammate for a point guard cause he parks his point guards at the corner 3s. Damn , spot on.

If any coach has the balls to call Giannis out to his face it would be Doc. Let's hope that happens.

Genuine question how many people actually enjoy watching the NBA at this point? The three point meta is probably the worst meta the league has seen and the rules encouraging it with moving screens never being called (unless the ref has an agenda) are so blatant at this point. Bring back the 19 foot contested two for the love of god

I hate it. The 3 pointer is supposed to be hard or a risk that's used sparingly but now the entire game revolves around it.

Lol, easy big fella. Anyone who's ever seen him play knows he's the best wing defensive prospect in ages, even better than Herb Jones. It's not just me, there's a bunch of us who wanted him badly. Instead, we picked a guy who'll struggle in the G League this year.

The reason we saw Giannis at the point and Lillard in the corner is because it's a proven, super effective set. Do you really think that in the year 2024 they don't chart success of sets?

Brook really needs to stop the quick trigger 3’s. Glad AJ Green finally looked good.

Defense was problematic but if guys like Vuc, Pat Williams, Giddey and Jalen Smith are going to go 11-20 combined from 3 whatever…

[fansinceforever]

Last night was not just us being on the wrong end of a great shooting night. That happens but last was not the example.

The Bucks were late to close out, rotate and got beat off the dribble consistently all evening long. There's a rebuke to make on NBA basketball at the moment but we have to guard the other team.

[Ron Swanson]

Frustrating way to open the season at home, but losses like this are gonna happen cuz Silver’s NBA sucks. This is why the regular season has become meaningless.

Last night was a fast paced shoot around for those guys. They were wide open most of the time.

[msiris]

Love the excuse the Bulls were hot. The reason that was because the Bucks D was non existence if you bothered to watch the game. Just like last year.

Then why pay for it right?

We've been running the -- 'let that guy shoot, he'll miss, while we stand in the lane' defense for a lot of years and the league caught up.. we need to be 2 steps closer to our guy

[Wonka]

Are we sure that Pat wants to be playing basketball? He hasn’t played with any joy or any genuine effort in years. He was JOGGING to three point shooters last night.

[ReginaldDwight]

Rolling brook out for another season is brutal. Dude is not a plus player.

[ShootingtheJ]

After re-watching a little of last night, it's easy to see that, even though we're slow, so much of the defense can be fixed by simply hitting the try harder button.

[kanyon]

Can't the just move the 3 pt line back some? Wasn't it moved closer for a few years in the early 00's?
