Bulls 242 – Charlotte 2
Feels like we win less when I forget to post
must win for the bulls imo. They cant afford to lose games like this anymore but with that being said I expect this game to be decided on the last few possessions
I hope Drummond can push through and play tonight. The last time we played the hornets he had his like 2nd best game of the season.
PatBev. A city turned its desperate eyes to you.
Help us Pat, you’re our only hope.
The Bulls are 10 point favorites. Their chances of the 8 seed have dwindled, but they must take care of business today if they want to keep that hope alive. Javonte Green, Alex Caruso, and Andre Drummond are listed as questionable, the first two due to knee and foot injuries, and Drummond due to personal matters.
LaMelo Ball, Cody Martin, Terry Rozier are out, Gordon Hayward is doubtful, and Kelly Oubre Jr. and Dennis Smith Jr. are questionable for the Hornets. The Hornets have been eliminated from playoff contention. They don’t have any reason to risk further injury to their better players.
That said, they don’t really have an incentive to lose, since they can’t catch Detroit, Houston, or San Antonio and are well ahead of Portland and Orlando in the Tankathon. Their fourth worst record in the NBA is secure.
So the bench players who get a chance to start for the Hornets tonight shouldn’t see it as a meaningless game. This is their chance to show what they can do. And it’s the Bulls’ job to show them they belong on the bench.
Both Ball brothers being out seems so typical and depressing at the same time.
Must win. Simple as that
BULLS WIN AGAINST A BOTTOM TEAM CHALLENGE (IMPOSSIBLE)
I bet we win but the score will be closer than it should be.
Easy win! 🏆
Unpopular take:
We tried, we failed. Lose out and get in the lottery. Getting to the play in game and getting smoked accomplishes nothing. Sorry, in my opinion, that is the reality of the situation.
I don’t think I can watch this game. Charlotte stinks and they’re weirdly very depressing to me. I don’t know why, but I legitimately feel sad when I watch the Hornets. I might sit this one out.
