Play-In Bulls vs Heat 6:30pm CT Apr. 16 2025

[Indomitable]

I was kinda expecting a letdown but I thought it would be the previous Miami meeting.

Blow out or not, I am still proud of the guys. Win or lose, the same changes need to be made regardless. So for me I just accept whatever it is.

Why?

Matas is the only thing that really gave me hope.

[DASMACKDOWN]

I mean, we have one good defender on the court much of the time.

But it's more you cant have Vooch being the anchor of a defense.

They are professional and that is an excuse. They are giving up layups.

[Red8911]

Don’t worry guys we got em exactly where we want them

[MrSparkle]

Tickets to this play-in game were a classic Reinsdorf grift.

[SpongeWorthy]

im genuinely surprised at how bad the effort is considering how hard they played for the last 20-25 games

Buzelis and Giddey only keepers.

For sure. Jalen, or Collins should be in there. Billy has to have the strength to start a different C the second half.

Let's max Giddey and Coby, bring back Vuc, and add them to Pat who we've already got locked up. I'm all in.

Bulls match up well against the Heat. Beat them every time this year. Giddey has been the key. He's averaged 26, 10 and 10 against them. A triple double. The Heat only have Davion Mitchell as a viable defender against Giddey, Coby and Huerter unless Terry Rozier has a resurrection on Holy Wednesday. In order to win Spo has gotta find a way to keep Giddey and Coby out of the paint where they are creating for themselves and getting fouled or finding the open corner 3. Herro and Robinson aint doing that, so he better hope that the Bulls go cold from three.

I remember the heat blowing out the bulls last year and Jimmy Butler did not play . The regular season means nothing

I was right about this game . Why was the team winning so many meaningless games ?

You mean how little effort most their opponents, many of whom were tanking, were putting out the last 20 games.

Matas is the only thing that really gave me hope.

Because its just one game. Coby and Giddey have been fantastic for the last 30 games. That means more.

[Bulliever2020]

It's time to sell high on Coby for sure

but we all know that's never going to happen with this regime

[Chicago-Bull-E]

This is great experience for the team. They’ll be so good next year because of this.

[Muzbar]

The games not over yet, Bulls can still definitely make a comeback.

Giddey's getting buckets and getting boards but he doesn't seem to be getting his team mates good looks or they are just missing.

Matas has had limited touches but he's done well with what he's been given for the most part.

Coby. He's either been brilliant or boneheaded.

Vuc had the traffic control flag/light things they use in airports, the paint is free points for Miami right now and that creates open shots from 3 which Miami are hitting.

Herro is on fire, not much you can do about that.

Sometimes, things just don't go your way, seems like this game is one of those games, so far.

The Bulls need some sort of defense injected into the starting line-up next year.

They can be pretty easily negated when the games actually matter.

[TheSuzerain]

AK's press conference is going to be unbearable.

[KirkHinrich12]

Destroy Cooper Flagg odds for this nonsense? Ship Arturas out tonight

[WindyCityBorn]

That was literally the worst defensive performance I have ever seen.
