You know your center is slow when Brook Lopez does a blow by him for a dunk.

Vuc gotta defend better than that. Getting beat off the dribble by Lopez is bad.

You know your team has no defensive pride. Pat and Lavine could have cut it off.

This would be an embarrassing loss without Dame & Giannis.

Keep involving Lopez in screening actions.

Since we're playing the Bucks here's an illustration that I did of Brook Lopez for The Ringer.

Smith is by far our best player tonight and still can only get 6 minutes.

Why doesn't he play more? Is there something I'm not seeing?

Billy is too rigid with his rotation.

There’s absolutely no reason why Smith can’t be playing 6-8 minutes a game next to Vuc. He hates any sort of size.

Billy did it last year to Drummond. He being played like a backup. Billy has no feel for the game.

Billy is not the coach I want for this team.

Getting their ass beat at home while the Bucks do not have their two best players available. Anyone rooting for this team to win is flat out delusional. They need to keep their pick this season and trade anyone with value.

Losing to the Bucks, without their two best players, and some people want to go all-in with this roster...?

Get a real rim protector

Put Coby as a 6th man.

The Bulls are a team struggling with identity. Zach once the trade talk started has regressed. He is acting checked out.

This team needs a leader.

There has been trade talk with Zach going back to last year...why would he let it effect him now?

I agree that the team needs a leader.
