wiiiiiiiiiin

This would be a good win. Bulls have Caruso back, so we gotta be careful of making bad passes. You have to think the Bulls are coming out hot too after the Suns destroyed them in Chicago over a month ago.

In case you want to watch the highlights.

Exactly. Box score says Suns won by 3, but it was a blowout. I expect Bulls to come out focused and attack relentlessly.

Me neither since I start my long workout tomorrow night. I suppose I might start watching some of our playoff games from last postseason. Might even watch the Clippers vs Jazz series to really see what went wrong for the Jazz to lose 4 straight against the Clippers.

Bulls have won just 1 game in their last 9 games. That one game they won was a very close game against the Pistons. Came crashing down after a hot start. They’ve won just 2 games total in the last month.

Crazy to me there’s people that still think Lavine is as good or better than Booker. Their not even in the same tier imo. Lavine is like a more athletic Kevin Martin…a scorer and nothing else.

Yeah their dealing with injuries to Ball and Caruso but what team isn’t dealing with injuries.

Dang this will be Cam Johnson's 8th game in a row he's missed since hitting that game winner against the Knicks. Must've been a nasty contusion to be out 2 weeks now.

Two games going to OT. Westbrook hits a crazy 3 to bring the Lakers vs Raptors to OT. And then Nuggets vs Cavs just went to OT. Great Friday night.

We should take this one. With Lonzo out and LaVine struggling with injury, they haven't been nearly as good. We've obviously been able to handle injuries better due to our depth, and of course we are better in the first place.

You jinxed it. We lose now because of you.

Monty needs to get on the refs they know he is the one coach in the league that won't make a fuss if they don't call fouls.

Its still amazing how much contact we take without a call.

Man Book makes it look so easy.

Booker's come back strong from Covid, a lot of our players have been better after coming back from something this season.

Holiday not playing?

Craig playing well lately

I've been saying that too.

Payne is lucky Javale is so long.

Craig is yet to miss a shot in the last 6 quarters. At this point I can't see him miss any shots throughout the last remaining regular season games plus the playoffs as well. He finally has mastered the game not even MJ could do.
