This team has a lot of issues to solve.

We even got a decent game from Derrick, still embarrassed.

With Butler coming back to earth, we are looking almost exposed that he was carrying us early on. Before tonight the Bulls had won 3 more games than expected via Point Differential. Suggesting a bit of luck. Might be evening out vs our mediocre underlying metrics.

We are just so slow and unathletic looking. And Mike isn't the solution to that either.

I dunno, this team has to shake something up. Whether that is the lineup, a roster move, team meeting. They are scuffling big time. Thibs seems to have no answers.

Based on media perception vs reality, Bulls might be the most overrated team in the NBA right now.

PG: 12 minutes of In-ten-sity

Gotta play all 48 minutes, we are showing no heart out there outside of spurts here and there. But...

Just a normal night for the Bulls. Jimmy plays too much, Niko doesn't play enough, Noah is completely useless, and Rose shoots a bunch of 3s and still hasnt figured out that he shoots my grandma.

Maybe this team will figure it out, but I'm highly skeptical. They'll be lucky to get out of the 1st round at this point.

I see Thibs getting a girlfriend before changing the starting lineup

This team seems to have no identity. Thibs just has a bunch of ill fitting pieces he rolls the dice and throws out there randomly in different combinations.

But even when he finds one that works, unlike in the past, he rarely has confidence to stick with it, and quickly retreats back to the veterans that he almost seems beholden to play at certain big moments.

The defense is a total cluster-****, catastrophe. Swiss cheese in the paint nearly every night, and no better outside with the guards giving red carpets to the lane. But that's what you are going to get having to play Aaron Brooks big minutes to sustain your offense and with a 60% Derrick Rose.

But the first 5 post are already cringe worthy with the overreactions I hate to see the next 8 pages when I wake up tomorrow

Garbage effort defensively. What happened to the Bulls team that played hard every night? The "take a night off" approach has trickled down from their star PG on to everyone else.

The defense is just plain bad right now.

And serious question...anyone think that Jimmy is injured and not telling anyone? I have never seen him get blown by that many times. I wouldn't be surprised if he had some kind of ankle injury, because there are times I see him walking or trotting very gingerly.

I'm glad people and the media are starting to realize that this team has serious flaws. I saw it at the beginning of the season. Their D has been atrocious this whole season not just recently. Something has to be done...

are people just now noticing that we're slow and unathletic looking, really?

This is how the team has been built by the FO for years

The offense is usually good. It takes some faith to believe that the defense will come around.

I need to watch the Bulls vs the Magic in 1996 to make me feel better now.

Less Noah, More Mirotic.....

Honestly I've always loved Jo game, but he is a liability right now, not good in either end..

I take this all on Thibs. He has one of the deepest roster if not the most, and he is stuck in his useless rotations. He prefers dying that changing that.

It's not overreaction. Will Perdue is saying the same thing and Thibs is pissed off too...
