Tatum and Butler aren't two-way players?


Forgot about those two. Has Tatum made an all-defense team yet?

The Bulls' last home playoff win was the Derrick Rose buzzer beater? Wow

You need to trade Demar too. You can't win in the playoffs shooting contested midrange shots as a No1 guy. If KD can't do it imagine how hard it is for DeRozan.

He was hot in game 2 making contested shots over DPOYs like Giannis and Jrue and in the other 3 games it was a battle between his total field goal attempts and his total points.


You think the Bulls are losing because their guy primarily shoots contested mid range shots?

Never hurt Kawhi/Dwade/Jordan and the many others lol. It just comes down to execution and the calibre of player. Giannis at his best >>>> everyone on the Bulls.

Bulls should've been swept. They still have a lot of work to do and at least now their fans understand that "regular season" Demar doesn't matter come playoff time. I find Derozen to be a very likeable guy, but he just sucks come playoff time. It's been over a decade and people still act surprised about it.

Man Grayson Allen is creaming the Bulls. He's a dirty player, but dude sure showed up when the bucks needed him. Nothing but props
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

When you draw a line from Demar to Kawhi, Wade, and Jordan, you're doing it wrong.

Bulls are just too small and not enough shooting. It’s a shame that Lonzo wasn’t available cuz he would’ve been a big difference maker but probably not for the series with a hobbled Zach.

They need shooting too, good lord that was bad.

Kawhi/Dwade/Jordan had other tricks in their coat. If Demar can't make his midrange shots he is hopeless. He can't pass(we don't force him to do so), he can't make 3s ( he is 0-9 in the series, even Giannis made a couple 3s) and he can't finish in the paint with elite rim protection.

So it's contested midrange shots all day and all night for him.
You can't be so inconsistent as a No1 guy. It's a killer...

Game 1: 6-25, 18pts
Game 2: 16-31, 41pts
Game 3: 4-9, 11pts
Game 4: 8-20, 23 pts

Best player in the league with a quiet 28/15/7 this series. Light work in preparation for the Celtics next round.

Bulls deserve a break. Once LeBron stop his decade of dominance of the Central division, in comes Giannis and his own prime.

Bucks had Kareem/Oscar, Pistons had the bad boys, Bulls had MJ, Cavs had Lebron, Bucks get Giannis, Pacers had Sabonis.....

The central is on a nice rotation.

Zach is on 1 leg apparently.
Billy calls timeouts for the other team.
Demar has 23 on 8-20. It happens. Not the typical derfrozan crap everyone wants to cling to.

Bulls don’t have a pointguard . Zach isn’t a combo guard but can be a ball handling wing . Demar lacks the range to play pointguard full time . Unfortunately the bulls needed Lonzo to be more competitive but Lonzo had been very inconsistent vs top teams.

Donovan comes back likely because his chemistry with Zach and Demar but they need to consolidate the roster and fix the PF position , backup center and figure out pointguard

Unbelievable. Bulls not in the same league as the Bucks even without Middleton. The Bulls have a long way to go if this series is any indication.
