Is 14 points a career high for Williams ?

Even I can't be mad at this game.

Matas with a career high 31pts (and made me look silly when I called out his 3pt shooting).

Giddey with an amazing game: 15pts, 10rbs, 17asts and 8stls.

Coby with 36pts (he also made me look silly regarding his 3pt shooting)

Pat even had himself a good game.

But best of all, the Bulls beat LeBron and I'm always here for LeBron to get a beat down.

*I forgot how this goes*

This is the win that puts fear in the Miami Heat.

Giddey was interviewed by KC after the game and he legit did not know he had 8 steals.

Yep. Don't get me wrong, I love how he's been playing. But I can see him regressing in typical Bulls fashion.


Yeah, definitely a legitimate fear. If he remains the clear #1 creator, I can see him keeping it up. Outside of his 3pt shooting, which I think Patton can continue to help stabilize, he's not playing any different than he has throughout his career. The defense is probably a mirage though.

This is insane lol.

The Bulls are Super Saiyans. The more they are hurt, they come back even better.

Crazy game from just about everyone tonight. Wow

He looks great next to Giddey being the floor general.

Nah I think he's still a combo guard, but he's best suited for SG.

He's averaging 28ppg over his last 11 games on good efficiency but shooting mere 30% from 3.


I think the point here is that you don’t really want him running the offense. And now he doesn’t have to.


Exactly. It’s a turnover or bad shot waiting to happen.

Billy was hard on him when he first got here and he got alot better.

I think we are seeing the evolution of Josh Giddey.

Pay that man his money.

Lakers announcers said HE is their quarterback. Now imagine a healthy Lonzo with this bunch. Next season can be special.

Yeah. Only a behind the back baseline blow by slam on Luka's Greg Luzinski ass.

Coby is a SG. SGs can still create if the PG is trapped.

Unless they are Keith Bogans..

We really got a near superstar PG for a 6 ppg guy that the Thunder don't even play 20 minutes.

For a guy who is being hyped up for his conditioning and longevity, it feels a lot like he's just coasting out there. Maybe he's just maintaining conditioning until the playoff.

Who are these guys?? Buz notching his first 30pt game? Giddey with another triple double + 8 steals and Coby continuing his hot streak?

At this point, I’d be surprised if they don’t make the playoffs.

I never tire of the Bulls beating a Lebron led team.

Lebron came back and lakers definitely thought they were going to have an easy night but ended up getting blown out by 30 lol.

Lakers had no answer for the bulls tonight they couldn’t defend, couldn’t match their energy and bulls were knocking down shots from pretty much the whole team.

Whole team played great but ofcourse Coby, Giddey, and Matas stood out more. Big win. Bulls are continuing to play good basketball and they are doing it as a true team. Since the all star break this a totally new and much improved team.

Giddey stood up to Luka and played great.
