What's going on? Turned it on we're down 9.


Bulls young guys are playing hard. We’re coasting like we did in BKN in first half. Second half is when we get down to business. We will turn it up a bit in second quarter.

That was a BS call on Diallo. We get it down to 5, Payne hits a three and then gets a very generous call to get sent to the FT line and we're facing a double digit deficit just like that.

Time to wake up guys. It'd also be nice if this terrible 5-20 team would stop playing a a 20-5 team.

This is starting to feel a lot like the Nets first half. I keep waiting for the Bulls to start missing but they aren't.

I’ll be worried if we don’t have lead or aren’t tied by 4th quarter.

I will admit Justin was right. Lavine dominating the Hanukkah matchup.

They won't/can't miss. This is infuriating.

The Bulls offense right now...

mid-range jumper (make), three-pointer (make), mid-range jumper (make), mid-range jumper (make), three-pointer (make)

All jumpshots pretty much and they're making all of 'em.

Chicago already sitting on 59 points with 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

Some really dumb, careless play on the fastbreak by us right now. We had back-to-back possessions, down 6, and chances to get the lead under 5. We make two really lazy push-ahead passes on the fastbreak that get stolen and it all ends with Markannen getting fouled on a 3-point make and now it's a FT away from being a 10 point lead again.

We will put clamps down in second half. Chicago won’t know what hit them.

Didn't think they'd lose the point guard matchup in this one lol. Might watch some other games for a bit.

bulls haven't scored 70 points in a first half since 2011. poor effort and communication on defense. lots of gambling on pnr that has led to wide open threes or layups. very disappointing. paul george is not getting through screens and our help defense has been slow.

we're doing so much switching for no reason. nobody is putting the effort in.

that bounce pass george attempted was right out of the russell westbrook playbook. russ for all his great qualities is a showboat.

Why? I know you don't like Russ, but why use that as an opportunity to rag on him?

I don't know if giving up 70 or scoring 62 is more shocking tbh.

If we wanted to play at 100% for a full 48 minutes in this one, we would dominate the Bulls. We are coasting. Just watch what happens in second half. We will put the clamps down.
