Would a blowout loss be enough to get billy fired ? Serious question. It kinda feels like it I dunno why .

I don't think there's any threat to Billy's job unless I missed some news or something.

They’ll win this game. This dumb ass team does just enough to flirt with giving San Antonio the best pick possible.

A win is a win, but a loss is also a win.

Normally this is a very winnable game but they’ve been absolutely terrible for the last couple of games. Either they turn it around tonight or continue to play without confidence and go on a long losing streak.

No one knows which Bulls will show up since they’ve been inconsistent from day 1 this season. I’m leaning towards them playing hard after the worst loss of the season and getting a W.

Just a gut hunch . Who would even take over . It probably would backfire and hurt the tank .

So long as Artūras Karnišovas and Marc Eversley are running the show... no.

Billy is untouchable. He is going to move up into middle management even though he managed to fail.

He is on with the Reinsdorfs. He talked about talking to them last year.

He might be more secure then those 2.

Would be good to see some kind of bounce back for Coby/Pat.

Last 5 games
Coby: 23% on 3s, +/- -5.0
Patrick: 26% on 3s, +/- -9.8 (and 27% overall, he can't even hit his 2 pointers)

Almost everyone else has been taking/making good 3 pointers lately:
Zach: 52%
Vuc: 40%
Giddey: 38%
Smith: 47%
Lonzo: 46%
Buzelis: 36%

Billy cannot say with a straight face and say that he wants to win each game and continually play Pat as often as he does.

Billy's son is the coach of our GLeague team. Donovans are made men in Chicago.

EDIT: I would put money on Billy moving into the FO before being fired.

Seth Curry having more offensive rebounds than Pat has total rebounds wasn't something I had on my BINGO card.
