Rockets have played quite a bit of teams close. They simply don't play defense though.

If a coach can ever get those young players on the rockets to commit to some defense they could make some noise.

I do expect us to focus a bit more especially in the 4th and put this one away

But this a no night off league. Tanking is not rewarded anymore so teams are going to compete we are not at that point of the season where teams just not showing up that probably happens after after all star break.

Javonte with 4 offensive rebounds in 15 minutes. He just has a nose for the ball.

My advice with Coby is to just pay attention to your chess game, 2nd screen, or whiskey when he enters the game. He’s especially gonna play against teams like the Rockets, but grand scheme is he’ll get about 10-15 games of good/bad/ugly trial before decisions are made. Dude looks like complete garbage imo besides for the 2 offensive plays he made, but it doesn’t matter. This FO/HC have a pulse of how to win games and afford to figure out their assets.

My take is still that long term he might be fine; his shooting could potentially be very important for our team, but he’s also got a lot of flaws. If he has a hot stretch, imo you have to weigh offers and sell high. If high offers don’t come, then you have to hope he’s ready to shoot, but I wouldn’t put him in the main-8 rotation (Ayo’s noticeably better I think). Either way, he reminds me of the Niko/Lauri/Doug mold where post-draft night expectations were ludicrous compared to actual NBA ceiling.

Exactly. Houston playing one of their best games of the season so far.

Besides, not easy to blow out any team on the road. If it was our home game, possibly a blowout.



Teams are stepping up to the Bulls. Hasn’t happened in years so it is foreign.

Yeah for sure but having a little makes him porter and Wade well Wade. Dwayne was a special player. Shame he was broken by the time he came back home.

Coby should not be a ball handler. Never EVER!

He should be standing behind the 3 point line ready to catch the ball. Upon catching it, he must decide within half a second if he's gonna shoot it, drive or pass it. If he drives, he should only try to shoot it if the rim is wide open. If not, pass it over.

That's it. Nothing more.
Constantly underwhelmed by the Bulls.

I think all this blowout win and all coming from Stacey is very annoying and now making Bulls fans cocky - like what you doing? Blow 'em out.

DDR is struggling and Lavine is not shooting his normal either. So the game will be close. We just have to find a way to win.

I think people forget that D-Rose Bulls didn't blow out a lot of teams that were bad - either.

Vooch has KPJ deep in the post, immediately pass out.

Then jacks up a contested mid range jumper right after.

He isn’t very high IQ is he?

I remember one season the Bulls were not playing well(2016 maybe?) and sometimes the game would start before we had a game thread, so Doug, I give you kudos for starting it.


I don’t. Doug this thread sucks and you suck too. We’ll probably lose because of it. You’re like the guy who jumps in a lake to save someone drowning, but only swims halfway there and comes back to shore. Go strong or don’t go at all!

I also hate dogs and children.
