Well, at least Deni got his 20th board.

Happy for Avdija, he had a good game. If only he had 1 more point for a double double. Wish we had lost the game though, so we could keep the tank.

Hopefully this drives Kuz value up. Need to get value for him at the trade deadline.

Yep, I'll take him making that shot to up his value. Grand scheme we are still 12th in the east, and still 6th worst in the league with a hot NY team here Friday and Golden State Monday.

I don't think I've ever before seen an NBA game where one of the teams only gets to the line 9 times. I'm sure it's happened, but still....

Damn the bulls are atrocious. What happened?

Anyway, another terrible pointless win. A staple in the middle build strategy.

The Bulls got drunk at half time.

An epic collapse. They gave up a 16 point lead.

Game turned sideways for Chicago when Wright and Goodwin were playing together and causing a bunch of havoc on the perimeter.

Only mildly interested in watching this team most of the time. But it’s really fun to watch when Delon and Goody are on the court together. Dawgs.

This team tantalizes. Imagine if Wes gave some real run to the defensive juggernaut lineup - Wright, Goody, Deni, Gaff, Unicorn.
In Rizzo we trust

I don't root for the team in games like these. Of course, DeRozan has to miss this game. They win by double digits with him. But give the guys that played credit. No Beal, Porzingis and Gafford. They busted their ass, but when you can only make 30.4% of your threes and turn it over 17 times against a mediocre team without their best player, you should lose. Hard work got it done. Kudos to Gill, Deni, Kuz, Goodwin, Wright and Taj for leaving it on the floor.

The Knicks should win big now that Barrett is back with Brunson.

The Bulls are terrible! This was a must-lose game for the Wizards!

I do agree that it's nice to see Wright and Goodwin busting their butts on D. A far cry from the Beal/Morris backcourt.

Deni. DENI. Wow.

What a terrific game from him.

Let this put to rest, finally, this 3 and D nonsense. He’s a power forward.

And he’s only going to get stronger. And savvier.

Small forwards don’t grab 20 boards. After the Kuzma trade, slot him in at starting PF and let’s see what kind of team we are with that configuration. Could unlock a bunch of things. For him and for the team, too.

Maybe it’ll put an end to parking him in the corner. What a waste. What an unimaginative use of his talents and uniqueness as a player.

I couldn’t agree more. It’s obvious Deni is not used correctly in offense.

What absolutely horrible basketball game to actually watch! Two terrible teams trying their damnest to out suck each other. That 4th quarter tape should be burned and never shown again. Easily the worst win of the year. If i didn't know any better, I'd swear the bulls players were trying to tank! That pathetic win moves us to a game within the play-in too. Allows a delusional front office to continue a path to nowhere and fall even more in love with Kuz so they can hold him through the trade deadline and lose him for nothing.

About as irritated at win as I have been in recent memory.

You can't stop Monte Morris. You can only hope to contain him.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

That's what i've told you guys the day he got drafted, back then at Scott Brooks days.
