At least the clippers are a good team. If PG gets healthy for the playoffs, they are legit contenders to win the west.

Tactical loss, bulls aren’t permitted by silver to win 4 in a row it was either lose today or wednesday at home

We would’ve won if Marcus Morris played, ball would’ve been out of Batum’s hands a bit more

This is the same fundamentally flawed basketball team it was in October, November, December and January. Pat Bev does make them better, but not good.

Why would you get your hopes up?, what about this team made you get your hopes up? For what exactly? The fucken play in?!

Looks like this is interchangeable to all Chicago sports teams.

I mean, since PatBev arrived the Bulls are 10-6 with wins over the likes of Denver, Miami, Philadelphia, and Lakers.
And some of those wins were against two MVP candidates and LeBron James/Anthony Davis!
This qualifies as one of the very best records in the NBA for this stretch of games and when considering the quality of opponents the Bulls have played.
Hell, three of those six losses since PatBev arrived were only by 1 or 2 possessions. With the ball bouncing a different way the Bulls could easily be 13-3 with their only losses coming to legitimate NBA championship contenders (Phoenix, Philadelphia, Clippers).
Plus, a West Coast trip that ends in two wins out of three is never bad. Especially when it is three games in four days and with a B2B.
Even during the glory days for the Bulls this would have been considered a good West Coast trip and any team in the NBA would be happy considering their only loss was on a B2B and to a very well coached and extremely talented team that was easily playing some of their best ball without Marcus Morris (who has been a detriment to the Clippers and for a team that is better without him). This was also the Clippers first lineup without Morris so the they had an element of surprise in how they might play without him (and the Bulls could not fully game plan for this).
Relax.
Any expectations to win *every* game are simply not practical.
I understand being disappointed by a loss – but the true narrative here is that the Bulls are playing absolutely *fantastic* basketball since PatBev arrived…. and at a great time of the season for it all to be coming together too.
If Lonzo had been available this season I am certain this team could have been pretty great all year long. Thank goodness we have PatBev now… and he is an upgrade in the vocal leader and overall badass categories. This team sorely needed a good kick in the ass by a gritty and experienced player who could contribute in meaningful ways and help make the team better overall. Zach is playing the best ball of his entire career with PatBev.
We got this.
Go Bulls!

Not exactly the Tex Winter triangle I grew up with but sure has become this.

Can’t win every game.

Batum might be the ugliest dude in pro sports but he always seems to play well against us. Win some, lose some..

Hopes for a play-in and then subsequent thrashing??

lol how do you let yourself get high hopes with this team and coach?

A bulls fans said in here a couple weeks ago “why does every player have a career shooting night from 3 against us” as if the answer isn’t obvious lol we suck at guarding the 3 pt line.

“why does every player have a career shooting night from 3 against is us?” Billy kinda answered that question after the game. Basically said “We have to focus on defending in the paint, because we have no rim protectors”. That leaves 3 point shooters open.

This is the only triangle in Chicago since the 90s, unfortunately……..
