Two positives to come from this:
- Buzelis
- We won’t have to try to hard to tank the rest of the season.

If Billy is still here past this season,then we arent going anywhere.. AKME and Billy D are just bad for Bulls short and long term.

Billy is bad, he should have been gone long time ago. Right now he tanks us to a good draft pick, but as soon as the season is over he should be fired.

Great loss

Is it too late for Buzelis to have a shot at winning Rookie of the Year? In any other year, this would be a ridiculous question and an easy yes at this point. This year, though, I'm not 100% sure.

Top 3 on the NBA.com Rookie Ladder:

1. Stephon Castle (12 PPG, 3 RPG, 4 APG)
2. Jaylen Wells (11, 3, 2)
3. Zach Edey (10, 8, 1)

I say it's too late, but we'll see. What do you guys think?

By the way: The fact that Matas would probably be the favorite to win this award now if he had gotten the chance to do it from the beginning is...just awesome. Matas winning Rookie of the Year would finally be something positive coming from this franchise and the Bulls were like "Nope, we gotta protect the integrity of the game! He are Talen Horton-Tucker and Dalen Terry!"

73:28 blowout after 83:59 lead, wowzer.. its like USA playing Mexico international game :lol:

I feel like if the Bulls don't get Flagg this year or one of AJ or Cameron Boozer in 26, it will be at least 2030 before the Bulls are competitive again.

Tank win, let's begin a great losing streak looking for a higher pick .
Just lose a lot.

We all can hope.
I love how you guys continue to root for the tank year after year. While Reinsdorf gets away with not spending any money or going into the luxury tax, and yet you fools just play right into it over and over. He's had you guys rooting for the tank the majority of the past 27 years...and yet you still think it's going to work.

Add me as another tank guy, perhaps a big losing streak from now can force Ownership for firing AK and Billy.

I see the "bench bump" for Pat only lasted about a week.

Yes, that was a good reason for keeping Vuc, everytime the Bulls are playing well and winning Billy plays him.

Billy, Vuc, Huerter and Pat have all made huge contributions to the tank tonight.

Shout out Vuc for straight throwing the game though. Dude is struggling to do anything tonight.

Time to play Vuc for extended minutes for keeping the losing streak.

What irritates me the most is we are in our worst stretch of the season, and no one still passes us. Keeping that pick was the best thing AKME pulled off.

Sixers are coming

He helps tanking.

Hunter and Jones were terrible.

What are you talking about man? The two combined for 1/10, and both are known for the defensive impact. Guru's right- these guys played their minds out! Our rebounding advantage was cemented when he had Tre, Coby, Huerter and Giddey commanding the paint!

Sometimes shots don't go in. That doesn't mean you look terrible.

Brooklyn is even inching toward us.

We will be 6 or 7 and the 6 will be within reach.

Bulls back in the playoffs in 2026 on Buz-Lotto pick.

Neither looked awful

What are the things you think either did well?

Jones looked good handling the ball and attacking the basket
Huerter has a beautiful stroke, he's aggressive in moving without the ball and is solid on help D, He doesn't stop moving for a team of players who mostly just get to a spot and stop moving

Billy took out all of the hot hands and tanked it.
Our run happened with Jalen Smith and Coby lighting it up and they either sat or the team went away from them.

If you wanted to win this game Jalen plays more minutes than Vooch, you don't play Huerter at all and you find minutes for JP/DT when you need some hustle out there.

We made our run on defense and then abandoned it.

That was a reason for AK refusing good trade offers for Vuc,I posted that but people didn't believe.
