Bulls down 13 with 5:15 left leads the NBA to make a youtube on this.

The Pacers was up 83-61 at halftime, before a 42-point third quarter making it 125-88.
So: after the Pacers then goes 37-21 in the 4th, they literally stopped playing on offense.

The last three Indiana offense sets were all, "shot clock turnover". Follow by lax defense to let the Wiz bad the score back a bit.

Indiana was up 59 with 2:03 left; this could have been a 60 point win. Respect that they let the game back to 53.

Post all star ( post Derozan/Lavine trade) Bulls vibe is similar to our last year's vibe where players have lot of fun.

Not very sustainable winning formula but probably feels nice to come to practice and play in such environment.

Guys like Giddey will either thrill you with his court vision and eyes in the back of his head one night or turnover you out of games...that's fun!

Screw it...let's get him somehow, to be our 6'9 PG

Giddey is about to get paid a lot and probably by the Bulls. Maybe the Nets throw him an offer sheet. He has been playing very well this month, maybe taking a leap? Still young who knows. Before this month he wasn't much of a positive on the court this year or any year before. It's crazy how quickly perceptions of players can change to some. Early season Bulls fans were saying "let him walk" and now many think he will and should make 30 mil plus for them.

Very fun run for them, but... Gotta be at least one Bulls fan out there that is deep down a little upset that this run might lock them into a Giddey/White core. Could get lucky in the lottery and Giannis always talks about Chicago though so maybe they'll be fine regardless.

I'd be disgusted. They don't have a franchise player so WTF are they doing?

I will say the point of sports is to have fun and they definitely have to be having fun right now as a fan base. Not always strictly about the championship that only one team can win.

Also Giddey is only 22, so maybe there has always been some extra upside there. Not ruling out the chance that he could be taking some sort of leap.

But taking a step back and looking at the big picture, locking into White and Giddey based basically only off of big months of March-- IF they choose to go that route, would feel at least somewhat suspect to me.

Jenkins was probably fired for something other than his body of work. The four seed firing their coach two weeks before the playoffs… the timing of it is just strange to me.

… he can be hired by the Magic after they move on from Mosley this summer.

There, I finished your sentence. You’re welcome.

This MEM thing is interesting...had to be some kind of Udoka situation, Jenkins is a great coach.

If I were Mike Miller, I'd get my client Ja out of that toxic environment and to the safe, comfy, family-friendly confines of ORL.

Looking for those of you that want a pass-first PG (I am not on that list):

Black, Howard, and both 2025 FPRs is a good trade for Orlando. A trade the Bulls would not make.

Orlando needs shooters. The insanity of a need for a "play maker" drives me insane.

Black is probably better anyway
