Ennis was the difference tonight....i'm used to seeing him hit 0 3's.....he hit 5 3's tonight, what do they say about a broken clock?

It's okay. Most people don't understand that delayed gratification is the key to long term success.

The Bulls defense is atrocious

Wizards up 17 on the Kings, can close within a game of the Bulls.

Jerome

They are seriously playing nearly an entire G-League team and some wonder if we should be sitting solid players like Harris and Carter. YESSSSS!!!! The answer is YESSSSS!

WCJ, Ennis, Harris and even Ross need to rest up. I'm not even joking.

This is also after the Poku injury who has been playing big minutes for them, is 19, && arguably the rawest player in the history of the NBA.

I wouldn't include WCJ in that. Ennis probably should have been released. Ross can rest.

The only positive from our win is that it puts even more pressure on the bulls. I don't think they make the tournament but it'll be close.

Kind of a fluky shooting night but it was good to see Cole , WCJ, and Harris play well. It felt good to get a win I aint gonna lie. You win the ones you have a chance to get. This team or coaches should NOT be trying to throw games.

Kinda pissed Mo ducked Vooch....

That's not even needed. We just need to sit half of them some games, and the other half on other games. Between that and starting Cole/RJ and having Franks, Randle and Bacon play a good amount of minutes during games, we would be fine.

The Wizards are looking good now. Daniel Gafford was the perfect player to add at the trade deadline. Another questionable move by the Bulls.

I'm afraid that would still not be enough in our case. We need to rest Cliff and give him some away time to look after his health and get some rest, while providing Tyrone Corbin with the chance to coach.

With coach Cliff at the helm, we are guaranteed some wins the rest of the season. Did you see him argue with the refs at the beginning of the 4th quarter for that out of bounds play??? Maaaan, this guy loves to win and does not want to lose.

But on the other hand, a new and upcoming coach might do his best to win at all cost even with a crap lineup in order to prove that he can be a HC

LOL but arent we sitting out Bamba OPJ and Bacon? I dunno.but if we sit out Harris Okeke WCJ while they are healthy on the bench they might pout. the only way they wont ia if we put them in the injured list and take a vacation.

Slight chuckles that Vuc can’t beat the leftover supporting cast who were always blamed for holding back his greatness. The years of arguments this board had over that kind of fool’s gold impact. I feel bad for Chicago but also glad we’ve killed those deluded dreams here.

I've been laughing out loud since the trade deadline.

Yes and no.

The limit is 15 NBA contracts and 2 two-way contracts. As of now the Magic are full (I'm assuming Cannady is going to replace Mane as the second two-way guy).

But...

The Magic do have two disabled player exceptions for Isaac and Fultz if they wanted to use those on 16th and 17th NBA contracts, but I assume nothing like that is going to happen.

Funny.... bulls fans are trying to figure out why everyone is playing worse since the trade... they can't figure out that playing with a slow center that doesn't play defense isn't conducive to winning in the modern NBA.

Will it take them less than 8 years to figure it out?

For everyone upset at the "lack of tanking", it's worth noting that Minnesota, Houston and Detroit all won games more recently than the Magic coming into tonight.

It's really hard to lose like 20 in a row, which is what I think people want to see. Only happened 8 times in the history of basketball, ya know?
