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.

Because he must think he is out. He is not playing the same. He was playing well. He looks no longer getting mad.

It's all about that play-in! The future doesn't matter... unless it's future play-in appearances!

AK setting a high bar for the franchise!

Being down 22 to a team missing their 2 stars should be enough to get your coach canned without question. But there have been many lethargic poor effort performances out here by this team and all the fans are going to just point to the players and want to trade everyone. I'm sorry I want no parts to do with a rebuild if Donovan still has his job.

I hope I have the discipline to not watch these games in 2025. It's not fun.

For anyone paying attention to the standings:
The Hawks and Heat both won today. The Pacers play the Warriors later tonight.

Are people still thinking that The Bulls could climb up a few spots and even push for the 5th seed?

Also, the Sixers won again.

Amin and Stacey said that Durate has been playing well in the GLeague. Should he be in the rotation?

At this point, i would be estatic with a mid-season Cup..... and we never even contend for that either!

Getting blown out at home by the Bucks without Giannis and Lillard is rock bottom

Probably

This is how we look without a PG.

Zo and Giddey being out makes us look a lot different.

10-48

18-43

24pt deficit from 3. Sounds about right.

I have to say it did look like just a bunch of guys chucking up semi-open 3s with no other plan tonight.
But TBH on many nights our offense looks like this and Lavine ends up going on a heater playing hero ball and it's a close one in the 4th we pull out. He had an off shooting night, so we get blown out by a team starting 2 guards I didn't know were in the NBA.

It's not a well coached or well executed team.

One has injury concerns and the other defense/shooting issues. What do you think AK should do at the deadline (or off season)?

I hate the way they play. 3 after 3 after 3, it’s not basketball and it’s not entertaining. When shots aren’t falling there should be a plan B.

The better teams might also shoot 3s but they also score other ways when needed.

Got family down there. It has become to popular. That was my retirement spot.

We lived in Memphis for 20 years, and our son and his wife moved back there. So we get to celebrate Christmas here.

Ja got out over his skis though and the Grizz came up short.
