Because of their size, they match up very well with the Suns and Dubs.

This game is a testament to how bad the bulls are, not how good the bucks are. The bulls got smoked by basically any good team later in the season. The bulls flat out stink.

The charge call is ruining basketball. All it takes is minimal contact and the defender to flop and it’s an automatic charge call. Like clockwork.

Bruh, it' not a charge when a player stops his momentum and the other player flops. Tired of this BS. That call is for players coming down out of control and ramming people over.

Twice tonight Giannis has stopped his momentum, made a smart play, and they are calling this.

Role players decided they wanted to hit shots. I thought Giannis was gonna have to be dominant, but they didn't even need that.

Bucks started every series slow last year. Took OT to beat Miami, 0-2 vs Brooklyn, 0-1 vs Atlanta, 0-2 vs Suns. I wish they’d come out this way from game one but they seem to play their best when their back is against the wall.

I'd love to see the point differential. I bet it's over 10.

I feel like LaVine needs to get called out more...

A year ago everyone thought he was a top 2-3 SG and the focus seems to have completely shifted to DeRozan.

Aside from that the team was never built to truly win when they have a bunch of garbage defenders apart from Ball (who can't stay healthy) and Carushow....but especially cinderblock for feet Vuc, good luck going anywhere with Embiid, Giannis and in time Mobley in the Conference.

I'm only watching this game to watch Caruso play defense but gosh Bulls offense needs a playmaker.

Yeah I'm in the Lavine hasn't caught any flak camp. Vuc and DeRozan all get hit with their deficiencies but this guy whose been on the time since Jimmy Butler left has gotten no blame.

Bulls bench points tracker: 5 points after three Qs.

i dont know what ur trying to say. lavine is a bum but their GM already all ined to him as a franchise guy.
even i would not walk him after hes been hot garbage need to recoup some sunk cost. if your trying to critique his game, he was born that way. hes a low iq athletic freak who imitates steph curry when he is kevin martin. and hes peaked yrs ago he will be out when his athleticism wears out.
Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.

I'm not actually able to watch this game, but what's going on with Derozan? Why is he shooting so little?

Bulls won't score 25 in any quarter. Benches emptied with 8 to go. Jokes.

It’s embarrassing the nba has this series playing on abc on back to back games. Game 2 turned out to be a huge fluke.
