tough loss. we should have sealed the game in the first half. Their comeback during the first half lost the game, not the foul call at the end.

Why must we play Portis down the stretch? He's inexplicably awful.

Played well enough to win, but couldn't close well.

Still encouraging to hang there with the Clippers.

Gotta win vs the Lakers. Need Butler to have a bounce-back game.

Well learning experience in how to close. Clippers have been together way longer and it shows.

If the Bulls ever get it together long enough to try and make some noise, they would probably need to upgrade the bench bigs.

This guy is available. Wonder if he'd play Portis the entire 4th quarter.

Shady ass refereeing, especially that crucial phantom call on Jimmy. Just awful. I'm not saying the Bull didn't choke, the game should've never gotten this close with a 19pt lead, but the officiating gave them an L.

Awful late game execution. Fell in love with the jump shot. Completely winnable game. How disappointing

Think this game is a positive for the team overall. The Portis mystery continues.

mo speights outscored our entire bench and people are defending the decision to leave bobby portis in because lopez would have been a bad defensive matchup

We have an upgrade to the bench bigs already on the roster.

Reduce Portis' minutes to 0 and play Felicio instead. Boom. Upgrade.

Ironically, the 2 worst shooters of the night (Niko and Grant) had the highest plus/minus. :lol

The Jimmy/Blake foul call was ridiculous. Total bail-out; shame on the refs. Wade should've gotten the favor back when he was hit on the 3P attempt, but the refs decided to swallow the whistle.

But it shouldn't have gone to that. I miss MCW. Rondo looks bad in big minutes.

Shouldn't have been too hard for Niko and Portis to cancel out Speights. Unacceptable performances

i understand Lopez feet weight like a truck wheel and he can defend stretch 4s...But why?? Why are you insisting in Bobby Portis??? He is our worst big...I put Felicio ahead of him...I would put Butler playing the 4, guarding Speights...I would play Niko, even though he sucks, ahead of Bobby freaking Portis...ANYONE!

Even the refs had enough of Fred Hoiberg but they threw him out too late...

Players seem to respect DeAndre Jordans defense more than they did Rudy Gobert.

Not sure why they didn't attack the rim especially when up 19

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

It really is amazing the amount of fans who would've played our slowest big man against the Clippers most mobile front-court combination.
