Close game was enjoyable. Some real brain fart moments from the team which were bizarre, and refs being whistle-happy and they only lost by 4.
Disappointing but not a downer. Suggs for the most impactful in fewest minutes award - absolute monster.

I feel like half of you guys would rather say this instead of get on players for making dumb turnovers, missing free throws, and missing open shots.
I mean maybe he's practicing them too hard? Those points certainly came easily the past four preseason games and first game.

Team looks absolutely gassed... they need to get that endurance up.

Honestly though, I don't even want to blame Mosley for this. Paolo was an absolute disaster from the tip, and outside of looking obviously out of shape, he was legitimately checked out the entire night, including on that last possession.

Bulls play at a blistering pace and beat a Detroit team and are rested. Gulp.

I know this team like to give cookie cutter answers during the post game but I really need someone to callout Paolo and Tyus (they don’t need to do it publicly-they won’t-but they really do need to call them out).

Not sure what game you watched, but it wasnt the one i saw. This was an disgrace. An embarassment to the franchise. Paolo looked high. We have no **** soul. We should be ashamed.

This one hurts as I wanted them to start the season with a winning streak. You have to be up for every game in this league even short-handed rivals.
They took their foot off the gas.
Nah even going up 10 they still looked like ass. Atlanta just started playing better.

Yeah sick of the lack of focus. Tired of the folding when frustration sets in.

Maybe this will motivate them not to lose tomorrow. And maybe AB and Tyus being pretty bad tonight will get Jase a longer look tomorrow and benefit us in the long run.

With all the gambling revelations lately, I wonder if Tyus and Paolo were on the take. And I’m not kidding. Paolo played that game like he wanted to lose. Tyus just isn’t good, which, of course, explains his heavy minutes in crunch time. Our own little Johnny Wooden had the worst players on the floor together during the most crucial minutes of the game. Dude has taken this team as far as he can. Time to find new leadership.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

Paolo usually doesn't start seasons well. But you can tell something else is going on with him. He looks very disengaged right now.

Banchero looking like another overrated Dookie in a long line of them.

Reason why I do not get not having at least an 11 man rotation. If we are going to play at this pace, no need to have Franz and Paolo playing over 35 mins just yet. Use our depth and keep the subs going and the players fresh.SOUL wrote:JF5 wrote:Team looks absolutely gassed... they need to get that endurance up.

Looked better in preseason because our 3rd string can actually shoot. And the other team didn’t care as much. But still
