just remembered this is a cup game and the point differential matters. watch us lose by 40.

KAT doesn't have enough strength to post up and get position.
He doesn't set a proper hard pick.
Once a player blows past him or drives to the paint he doesn't even try to recover and contest the shot. He just stands there

Mike Brown just committed career suicide coming here

ECF roster, same guys all in their prime and they look like a sub lotto team, there is only one place the finger can be pointed at

thats not true

you can play fast and still get him looks. But there has to be some variety of the offense. Our base offense seems to be guard guard hand off...if that doesn't create a look go to a simple P&R with the big...

you gotta get KAT moving a bit...I'm not talking post up...but set a off screen to get him free for a look or drive. KAT's not even looking at the basket in some sets. Its a bit confusing or he just doesn't know his role in the offense.

he's a slow 7 footer. he can't play like a wing.

and Vuc is a slow plotting big and the bulls play fast...

This team has some serious problems. New faces and working on chemistry is one thing, but this is straight up embarrassing

What’s ironic is Mike Brown is doing what the fans complained about us not doing last year. Play the bench and shoot more 3s

This is what yall wanted

Never threes for me. Not winning bb

At least we will always have that ptsd from last years ecf

They gave up 139 points to the Bulls last year. This team had its struggles with younger, higher paced teams at times last year. All they did this off-season was get older and slower. I'm not sure how you play a high paced offense with this roster and how you will defend with a bunch of poor defenders.

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s true.

The core is here. We barely made any changes this summer.

Let’s hope the Bucks play terrible for the next 6 weeks so Giannis can be out sooner.

I don’t know what the hell is going on
KAT came out and started 2 for 3
He popped for a quick 3
He then got a good layup
Mitch sat in 3 minutes and didn’t see the floor again for the quarter.

I’m all for rotating players but wow. It’s every dead ball someone else is coming in.

Honestly this roster is just extremely flawed.

We used to have a guy who could get the most out of it...

he made 2 shots early and then barely got a look after...

unless you're gonna slow it down and give him the ball and allow him time to operate this is what it's gonna look like

We slowed the game down against Milwaukee and gave him 4 straight entire possessions to operate and Kyle kuzma shut him down

Towns works best off a quick decision. Quick 3, quick pump fake and blow by. Giving towns times to operate is almost as bad as giving OG time to operate. They ain’t Julius

yeah posting up KAT or iso'ing him in a slow down usually leads to bad decisions and turnovers. He's best either a quick trigger 3 or trailer 3 and then attacking hard close outs.

Almost 5 games in and it’s already toxic in this place.

Mitch just came back and Mike Brown trying to get this team in the same page. We just need to get some momentum going and a few games with the same lineup. At least, he’s playing the bench.

Give him a fair chance with 20 games.

Mike Brown was a retread coach when we hired him.

He was destined to be an assistant for the rest of his career.

And he’ll go right back to being one after he’s fired here.
