Good game. I thought Vuc was masterful. He's making it harder on your draft position. Honestly, I'd eat dead money owed Nurkic to subtract Vuc and gain draft position plus the last remaining 1st round pick Phoenix can trade.

Edit: never mind that thought. Suns can't aggregate smaller salaries for Vuc, and they'd have to because Nurk makes less and they can't take back more in a trade than they send.

Yeah, we can only hope that Vuc gets GS excited enough to toss us a 1st or Moody in a deal.

Well that play in play turned quickly.

Comical how they play at home against tanking and mid teams.

We are NOT IN THE MIDDLE.
We are at the TOP OF THE BOTTOM.
And DESCENDING.

DET has passed us.

We have a whole post game thread and no one’s going to mention how Vuc made Mark Williams his btch ?

Dropped 40, was dominating all game long and would have been perfect if he had hit that last shot to win but unfortunately he missed that.

That man deserves more respect in here. When he leaves(whenever that is) we are going to want to have someone like Vuc.

4 minutes for Buzelis?

Gotta do what you gotta do to protect the integrity of the game, I guess.

I didn't think Mark Williams was anyone's anything. He is a massive man, more athletic and springy than I gave him credit for, and he made Vuc look bad on the boards several times. 19/19/3 with a steal and two blocks is a good game. But Vuc does have tricks on the offensive end, he knew how to body him just enough on those post moves to move him back and not get the foul, it did my old school heart good. He had the shot going all night, if not really from distance.

Patrick Williams with zero rebounds is wild. He should switch roles with Jalen Smith. The Bulls can't continue with Giddey and Williams in the starting lineup.

Giddey is taking all the rebounds Pat would normally get.

Pat never even recognizes that and gets out to run for a Giddey pass.

Return to Chicago Bulls
