Giving up ~40 to Miami in quarter is pathetic.

All the feel-good stories for the Bulls at the end of the regular season and you bow out of the playing with a whimper. Forever mediocer team i guess.

I don’t know why people pretended Herro sucked during the Dame drama. I would have taken Herro for Dame, better than what they got.

Heat always start fast and blow leads.

Your takes are always a tad bit late— for convenience i assume. LOL

Let’s all just stop posting and return when Mavs-Kings start as a protest to the Bulls pathetic effort. LOL

The Bulls hired his son to be the G-League coach.. He will end up in the FO eventually.

Bout as close as it gets for a buzzer beater. I thought it wasn't good live.

i am criticizing you. Just make it fair and post picks and takes before the games and not after results are in. You aren’t much of a genius if you got them right post the fact. LOL

You going Dallas or Sac the next game? Leaning Mavs spread

Chicago have been decent since Zach Colling got in. Vucevic and Coby White can't play together.

This is a weird game in which I don't want the Heat to lose but I'm not gonna really be that mad if they do either because this draft is supposed to be great
