Meh
Ayo had the same amount of points as Pwill on about 1/3 the amount of minutes….
New season, same shit
First quarter was very good, thought things were turning around
LaVine was attacking the rim, DeMar was doing his thing, we fed Vucevic in the post, Carter and Craig were making plays, etc etc
Then offense went stagnant, OKC got hot (and we kept helping on drives instead of focusing on the shooters) and it all fell apart
Just one game but not a good look to start, especially from Donovan. Way too many transition threes, we aren’t even worried about the drives but we keep helping too much, we don’t attack the paint when they don’t have holmgren in and don’t feed Vuc cuz nobody wants to make an entry pass. I don’t get it.
Back to back years getting embarrassed in the home opener.
Same shit, different year
That was uninspiring and unsurprising
Loser franchise full of loser players

Vuc has 11 points being guarded by a twig. Man should have 30/15 tonight. He’s either not being utilized or can’t even take advantage of this match up. Luckily we extended the guy who doesn’t know how to use him to advantage. And even better we extended the front office giving these extensions out. Chicago sports are such a dumpster fire.
So P Will shouldn’t be paid at all, Dalen Terry is another wasted pick as well.
That fuckin sucked
0-82 here we come!!
CP3 is the only reason Donovan still has an NBA job.
Gonna be a long season
At least we’re taking more 3s I guess?
Need to feed Vooch more in the post please.
Well, they changed their shot profile and took more 3s alright. Just not making them. Love the additions of Torrey Craig and Jevon Carter. Hope it picks up as we go along.
Can we call Patrick Williams a bust yet without getting screamed at by delusional homers here?
We lost by 20 and they made 7 more 3 pointers (=21 points) than us on lower volume.
Billy left OKC because he didn’t want to be apart of “rebuild”… well that rebuild just fucking embarrassed your veteran team at home. Lol the basketball gods might really hate us
The thunder are a good team, but we just collapsed in the middle of the third. Oh well, on to the next one.
At least we have a FUN and EXCITING team to watch and not one of those loser tank teams!
Jerry Reinsdorf made money today.
Rough game for the Sox. Just gotta wait til it gets warm outside.
“Continuity” on full display tonight! I’m on the edge of my seat wondering what the rest of the year’s gonna look like!
When they signed Vuc to another deal, AK needed to make sure Billy knew to spam entry passes into the post. Go back to NCAA Donny, you’re out of your element.
You can’t miss that many makable shots and win many games in the NBA.
Demar with the -29 tonight.
Terrible defense too most of the night. SGA bitched whoever covered him, including PWill.
I can’t do this again. I feel like a battered house wife.
Billy does not know how to utilize big men
We always somehow end the year with a decent defensive rating but man I’ve just never been a fan of the help and collapse heavy Billy Donovan defense. Way too many open looks generated when we play teams with star players that are elite playmakers. It annoys the shit out of me.
Doesn’t help when we can’t hit open looks on the other side. Frustrating ass game in general.
AK once said that our 3pt% is decent when discussing about the lack of 3-pointers. He seems to think that our 3pt% is decent so that the Bulls can increase attempts at any time which is a total joke.
12-42 from the 3pt line LMFAO
What a pathetic FO they are.
On the bright side, it can only go up from here 😅
That dude SGA is something vicious. He’s well on his way to becoming a top 5 player in the league.
PWill 8/3/4 anyone still think this dude is becoming an all star lol
I can’t believe this board believe in Pat Williams so much, 8 & 3 tonight. This guy is invisible out there.
