Turns out we're not bad because of DDR. Shocker.

If I'm Westbrook, I'm worried playing on the Bulls will only further hurt my stock.

I don't think this team is capable of holding a lead of even 30 or 40 points. Just dumb players, dumb coaching all around.

AKME made probably the worst mistake of his tenure in not selling this team at the deadline.

There is zero point in being a good basketball player if you can't execute in the final two minutes of a game. ZERO.

Would love to see a poll on who thought Zach had a good game vs who thought he didn’t.

Although I was critical of lavine earlier

This really wasn't on lavine

We had a line up that was working and Donovan again went away from it

You can't have 2 non shooters on the floor with lavine and coby. All you have to do is look where the help is coming from to swarm vuc coby and lavine.

It's just a terrible takeaway to argue that we're better without our best player. We're 1-4 without him. He's not the problem. We're just built terribly.

Zach doesn't hate to lose. Don't max guys that don't hate to lose.

What would you say Billy is good at? Honest question. What is he good at from a coaching perspective? He has zero identity to his coaching style which is why this team has zero identity.

He has to go.

Well, the 3Ps were a step in the right direction. Still can't close a basketball game, which is a shame. :lol:

We are not tanking

With no quality pg to initiate the offense and run plays and no consistent outside shooting, we are just really bad.

Zach was getting doubled in the corner, had Ayo wide open on the wing and decides a double contested corner fade is a better shot.

How many times does he have to screw up in the clutch before we go to another option in those moments?

Honestly, with no DeMar and Coby feeling it, I would have liked to use Zach as a decoy and give the ball to Coby in that situation.

Big win for the tankers. Pacers are winning battle, Chicago will win the war*

*The war of course, being future playoff revenue without paying luxury tax. 2026 will be the time for that.

His hair is better now than when he was younger. That's all I can think of.

I am going to save so much time now by not watching another bulls game this season by just assuming it will look exactly like every other game has looked.

Funny, but a little too far.
