Denis schroder throws better lobs than Felton but not by much. Noel has done a great job at catching some really bad lobs this season. I would like to see DS clean up that aspect of his game.

The refereeing has been very one sided

More BSery from the refs.

That's just a play-on.

Get Abrines out of the game. He’s defense is crap. He overruns his defender every time. He just runs around like a freakin maniac.

The officiating has officially reached absurd levels of BSery.

Back-to-back possessions for the Bulls that involve some bad officiating and now it's a tie game.

We're falling apart.

If we lose this game, it’s not the end of the world. These guys could use a reminder that if they don’t stick to doing the fundamentals, they’ll lose.

This one's over. All of the MO is on the Bulls side at the worst time.

It's going to feel a lot more like the end of the world if we lose the next three after this one and are sitting at 16-11 instead of 17-10 (at worst).

And no, it's not all on officiating. The wheels have fallen off for us. We're playing like a bleeping junior high team.

Nah we’re good we’re just overconfident. The Brooklyn game was cool but if we had lost that game we would be ahead by 15 right now. The Brooklyn win was one of those games that’s cool to watch but maybe creates too much confidence. Guys start to think they can play like crap and still come back. We’re good but we aren’t the warriors. If we lose tonight, we’ll refocus.

We were up by 10 at one point fairly late in the 3rd quarter.

Been outscored by 15 since. By the 5-20 Bulls.

Straight bull officiating now
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.
