You barely won game one and lost this one. Not sure why you are so confident the bulls can’t take at least one of the next two at home . Better hope Middleton is OK…

Pretty much this. They should have won both games comfortably but they've been playing with their guard down. Just bad habits that you can't carry over into the next round. Hopefully they wake up.


Easy to forget they were down in series' multiple times last postseason for the same reason. They need to quit playing with fire.

You have to be set to draw a charge.

Bulls played awesome, Bucks did not. That's pretty much it, no excuses.

Losing PJ hurts


Pj was their best 1on1 defender against forwards. Giannis is a terrific help defender but Demar was straight up assassinating him one on one. Pj wouldve been matched up with him and Giannis would be able to roam more freely. Giannis has had to be more of an individual defender this season where he isnt as strong as he is a helper/roamer

Demar getting MVP chants in UC North was a sight to see.

Giannis is the least skilled superstar I have ever seen.

A select few are arguing there's no chance this happens again... but whatever. I'm just happy my team beat a fake star who can barely shoot free throws within 10 seconds. :lol:

Agreed but seeing the bulls fans here claiming championship is quite amazing.

The Bulls have been terrible for over a month now and finally get a win against a top 4 opponent, can't you just let them enjoy this?

It would be hilarious to watch the meltdown if the Bulls somehow pull off the almost impossible and take the series. I don't think they have a chance, but seeing how some Bucks fans are responding to 1 loss, I would get a good laugh seeing how they'd react to a series loss

Caruso with only 3-8 but game high 10 assists and game high +16. Such an impactful player.

it’s round 1. They don’t give a **** about the bulls.


Salt. They gave everything they had and still lost.


They played so brain dead early on though I doubt the focus was there, unfortunately this gave Chicago confidence, if it was a fast start I don’t think the Bulls would’ve shot so well.
