Did we somehow become a team that beats good teams and struggles against bad teams after the opposite the last couple years?

You keep saying this. Do you have any evidence to back this up?

Yeah I watch NBA games every night. So my eyes are the evidence.

There's gotta be a way to search how often teams come back from a 15 or deficit. I'd imagine that teams win at least 75% of the time when they have a 15 point lead at any point.

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.


From what I heard I thought he was making a bit more of a nuance take that this is not a team you let hang around. You NEED to separate yourself/blow them out (alhtough I didn't hear him say "blow out" as much but missed a little in start of second).

On that point, I think he's right. You let them hang around and stay within 5 or so on their home court, it gives them encouragement and confidence, they make some threes (and they are good at getting to the line) and you find yourself in a very dangerous spot.

Personally, I like Stacey's talk and it's the cold hard truth. Bulls are better than this ... for large stretches they have played with lackluster energy, and they're letting a team hang around and keep threatening them when they really shouldn't. (Rockets are playing well and shooting well ... but our defense is not up to it's level ... and this Rockets team is without Green for 3 quarters)

So, in other words, no, you don't have evidence. Thanks.

Agreed. He's been an absolute black hole offensively.

This team needs Ayo right now. He's gonna play with that energy as the youngin. Excited to see him get some burn.

Kinda disappointed that Ayo's run always comes with White ... who has not been playing with energy. But hopefully that changes up a little. If White comes hard with the energy, him and Ayo could be solid punch off bench.

The Bulls are simply not playing good enough. It has been this way since the start. This Houston team f'n sucks.
