Post Game: Bulls Survive Nikola

[Indomitable]

Coldfish predicted we'd be roughly .500 at the end of the road trip. So we've just reverted to the mean. This is a .500 win team. We'll have great wins and terrible losses. As long as we see some growth, it's a success for the year.

45 wins is my call

Denver was 6-0 at home this year btw!

[HomoSapien]

Trenton Hassell, Keith Bogans, Isaac Okoro. It's crazy how we somehow keep getting this type of player that regularly does nothing, has a reputation of being a good defender, and becomes a coach favorite for no reason.

yuuup. I said the same. That Embiid, Giannis, Spida, Wemby stretch was going to suck and I had us going a possible 5-5 when we saw Detroit again.

It was great to split with the Knicks, but that Detroit C-Team lineup is dialed in like a mother and is punching people in the mouth rn. I didn't see that coming.

But this is great considering the loss against the Jazz. I had us doing the opposite but I will take it.

Same. As infuriating as it is to lose to Utah and that Detroit team, I'd much rather have a win against Denver.

[DASMACKDOWN]

That bench tonight was ridiculously good.

66 pts is crazy. They all gave tremendous effort. They all played impactful. This was a HUGE upset. 14pt dogs

Don't forget Tony Snell.

If there was ever a game that should be a schedule loss coming off of double OT. And yet. Wild.

I'm a bit more optimistic. This team IMO is legit above .500 team. This is only the 13th game of the season, there are archs of improvements where I feel they can address them as the season progresses:
1. Coby's integration and settlement
2. Zach Collins
3. Matas is still developing
4. Essengue

Interior Defense remains the biggest hole though.

Vuc taketh and taketh and taketh, then giveth and taketh

He made my chest hurt.

Shout out Jalen Smith. Stix was AMAZING tonight.

This is the reason why Billy trusts Vuc to still finish during games where he’s struggling.

Vuc is still more than capable of winning you the game like he did tonight.

They're the Alex Carusos in a world where Alex Caruso is the Nikola Jokic.

[Red Larrivee]

Jalen was on his way to a bigger night before that injury. I'm guessing he was still not feeling right. They put him back in and he came right back out. Seems like Donovan was finally willing to give him more minutes.

Having an elite bench can cover up for a lot, and it essentially won the game tonight. Big luxury when your deep end of bench guy can come in and drop 15.

Vuc gets a lot of ****, and rightfully so. But that steal and 3 were clutch.

Ayo is an incredible basketball player. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

The schedule even when we started off hot was brutal and has continued to be brutal. I would argue if we were not a good team our record would be trash right now. Given where we’re at this is actually pretty good all things considered.

[Red8911]

These are the games after a back to back where you need your bench to come through and they did. You can say they did too much, 66 pts is insane.

That was definitely the difference maker, these guys came to play and brought energy. The starters then obviously finished, but without the bench playing like this, this wouldn’t have been a game.

[Ccwatercraft]

I certainly enjoyed every second of that.

Shoutout to the entire bench... fantastic work gentlemen

[HomoSapien]

Had a big assist too.

It'll be interesting to see how bad Smith's injury is. Collins might slide in and Stix could lose his position all over again like last season.
