Vuc is like an anti-leader. Hope this guarantees his exit. He takes away on D 2x what he gives on O.

It's hard to rely on fast break points in the playoffs. People are a bit more motivated to simply hustle back on defense

Spo owns Billy. Heat own the Bulls.


You don't watch much Bulls games this year huh

Imagine comparing regular season to the playin/playoffs. Imagine thinking Spo doesn't coach circles around Billy in games like this.

Couldn't be me.

I remain wholly unimpressed by Matas and would be very upset not only if we trade up fo him, but if we even draft him at 11

This right here. The Heat have a real head coach who runs a real offense and gets their shooters open looks. The Bulls coach says "play fast and shoot quick". Which one do you think is going to be successful against teams actually trying to win in the post season?


Billy can’t make a defender stay in front of his man. They are getting intto the paint untouched.


Lol. Sure. The head coach who gets the same poor results season after season deserves no accountability. The Bulls have just as good as team as the Heat. And they are getting their ass kicked at home in the first half of a play-in game. But Billy can't help it. Not his problem.

Most people here are high of beating a bunch teams who were not playing hard.

I actually really like Matas and Giddey

If nothing else, Matas is looking good. This is good experience for him.

Yep. Running a real NBA offense that gets pen 3 point looks vs. Running and chucking is indeed a lot of the difference.

Games like this show why Giddey and White shouldnt get overpaid and why we need a different coach.

Giddey has earned his money. Thankfully Coby can’t be paid this Summer.

The meltdown reactions are so 2 years ago lol

We are a young team, you aren't basing your whole season on one game.

Keep Giddey and Buz and everyone else must be expendable including Coby

Williams isn't an NBA player right now. Billy playing him should get him fired.
