Don't look now but Vuc is looking like his old self as of late. Trade value is plummeting.

First dunk for Lonzo in 3 years, that has to feel good.

I’d be all over Lonzo if I was a contender looking for a short term rental.

And what's worse is that they pass up good looks to force up bad 3s. Like deciding not to go for a layup to kick out to a 3 from a bad shooter. Tonight Coby faked his defender past him, had a clear straight line to the rim for a layup or foul but instead stepped back into a bad moving off balance 3.

Billy has made this team a chaotic mess. We over switch on defense and the offense devolves into a three stooges skit.

Bulls defense always makes that guy George look like a superstar.

This team is so poorly coached. Will losing to one of the worst teams in the east get him canned? Of course not because we have so many embarrassing losses and there is no consequences to underachieving. Donovan gets treated like he won 2 titles here.

This team is overachieving probably more than almost anyone in the NBA this year and you want the coach fired. You should be getting way more pissed at the wins because those are costing this franchise any sense of a future

Well it was Lavine, Lonzo, and a bunch of chuckleheads tonight. Get blown out by 20 and Lavine was still somehow +4 while he was out there.

Hope Vuc isn't falling back to earth before we trade him.

Embarrassing. Coby out of control. Giddy non-existent. Pat with no progress in his game since being drafted.

I mean there is really not much to say, losing to the Wizards the way they are losing is impressive, really.
Billy has to go regardless of the outcome of the season, sadly I doubt it will happen. If we are lucky he will get tired of looking like a clown repeatedly.
Zach, Vuc, Coby need to be trade now, they are sinking their value with each game. Hopefully they find a trade for Craig.

The problem with this team is they'll bounce back whenever they play next. Either lose or win, pick a lane.

You still dreaming of a tank that is not going to happen and decisions were made years ago to stop that from happening. Furthermore this is not the 90s and early 2000s anymore piling up losses doesn't guarantee you top picks. Atlanta got the 1st pick and they were in the play in last year. Although these players can operate like idiots some nights there is still to much talent on the team to expect a ton of losses so rooting for losing at this point is just a waste of time. Where they land is where they land.

Who wants a team where the players lay down and lose? Players suppose to say, hey let's lose for the sake of the future of a franchise that could trade me tomorrow? To draft someone that could potentially be that players replacement? Some of y'all are just not realistic anymore. A proper tank should have been decided before the season even started. Otherwise the fringe play in team is what this was always going to be.

But the mediocrity can't be unpunished and anyone with a set of eyes can see how bad this system looks and bad system and bad effort is just not on the players. You all want to keep hoping for draft miracles in a situation that is not going to bring it. Regardless better coaching would get more out of these players. And losing big to one of the worst teams in the east should be a fire able offense.

It's not even about tanking. It's about literally keeping their first round pick. If they lose their first round pick for a guy not even on their roster, that's an absolute disgrace and puts them even further behind. This franchise actually has an out to be bad and they won't even do that.

So Denver should have fired Mike Malone after they lost to the Wiz a few weeks ago? In an 82 game season, off nights happen. Especially the day after New Years Eve. I'm no huge Donovan fan but firing a coach off a single game result is incredibly short sighted. And like has been mentioned, if anything the Bulls have been overachieving this year and are projecting well above their predicted win total this year.

I shut the game off before the 2nd half, out of boredom/disgust, but even then, the end tally is surprising.

Pat and Coby are the most brutal pair of Bulls lotto holds since … I literally don’t know who. Curry, Gordon, Thabo, Tyrus, Lauri, Wendell never made it to y5… Chandler, Kirk, Deng did, and helped win playoff games…

What are we doing? The only thing I’ll say is 4-6y players can sometimes take these steps back before blowing up. I did give up on Lauri, and brushed off Wiggins and few others. But again, these were 20+ ppg capable scorers in their earliest years. Consider me very skeptical at this point. Would MIN be wear they got to the last 2y if they held Lavine and Wiggins for the decade? (And those 2 actually made ASGs, unlike Coby and Pat)

The FRP is more than likely heading to SAS. This just makes no sense. Matas is wasting a year away.

Return to Chicago Bulls
