Did not have a chance to see the game. But noticed that the free throw disparity was 34 (Atlanta) to 6 (Chicago). What happened there?

How much did the Bulls players put on losing might be the real question

No interior D, a lot of blow bys.

We suck

I'll take the tank W.

Zach giveth, Zach taketh away!

Total collapse by the team, outscored 50-25 in the fourth quarter despite being up by 17...

That's a massive difference, though. Was the officiating poor or were we really that bad?

He's just a terrible coach, with no awareness of any situation.

It’s time for him to go. Isn’t AK and Reinsdorfs fed up with him already ? How much does he need to fail to continue to stick around.

He has had no success. They let him play his fast pace style but looks like that isn’t working for him either. Enough, time to move on.

Even though Lavine had 37 points on just 25 shots plus 7 assists, player(s) of the game undoubtedly goes to the officials who shot 32/34 for Atlanta.

Can't make up a 32-5 disadvantage, no matter how hot Lavine & Jevon get.

No wonder ratings are in the toilet. Nobody is wasting an evening watching a FT shooting contest interspersed with ESPN betting ads.

I'm fine with this loss, or any loss really this season. Eyes on the prize.

Tonight they weren't just bad on defense... they didn't even try! But I kinda expected that when Ayo became a late scratch; he's really the only player in that starting lineup who bothers to put any effort on D.

But Billy man, I've never seen a coach not call a timeout while the lead continued to dwindle down. I guess he gave up too.

Beyond Bulls basketball, is anybody else getting tired of basketball in general at the moment. Every game is turning into mini All Star games with zero defence and just 3 pointers or lay ups...

Might just be a Bulls thing that I'm reacting to...

Billy Donovan press... I'm going to puke

Not just you. It’s both a Bulls and larger league thing.

The clear path foul on Zach was bad but beyond that there isn't much to complain about in the 4th. The team choked.

No Lonzo, Ayo, Giddey, or Matas

Thinking it’s the Patrick Williams game… where he tries really hard and makes everything look way harder that it should be. Hope I’m wrong.

Maybe Coby can start doing Coby things again.

I'll predict Pat's stats: 10 points 4 rebounds.

11 and 3.

Yes! I can’t stand that every game is a literal 3 point shoot out. It’s a league wide problem. The lowest team 3PA is 30 per game while the highest is over 50. That’s insane. I so t know how the nba can fix this problem, but I have two thoughts.

1) Eliminate the 3 point shot completely
2) only have 3 point shots count for the last 2 minutes of each period.

I really think think #2 could work even though it would mean it would revert back to a 3 point shoot out for 2 minutes of every quarter, but that’s better than a full game of it.

Brilliant tank loss.

Truly impressive.

Lose the next 5. Competitively please.
