  1. NBAKefka

    As the French say,

    Time to reconstruire.

  2. Capital-Vacation-881

    “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

  3. DefiniteSauce12

    Blow it up before it gets really toxic man. It sucks to watch

  4. CallofJuarez23

    Yay! The more the Bulls lose the faster this team is no longer 🙂

  5. Mr89675432

    Don’t take this too seriously because they’re the champs. That said, it’s kind of darkly funny for all this subs talk about their refusal to tank & how they can’t watch that again.

    Well, two weeks in & we’re tied for 2nd most losses in the league behind only the Memphis Grizzlies total implosion.

  6. dirtyricher

    I had no expectations, and still come away disappointed.

  7. Get_Dunked_On_

    That top 5 defense the Bulls had last season looking more and more like a fluke

  8. rainytreeday

    Fire AKME now. They are responsible for this mess of a team

  9. dirtyricher

    I really can’t wait until I don’t have to watch about 90 percent of these dudes playing for the Bulls anymore.

  10. When Joker got like 7 OR in Vooch’s face I thought I was going to perish

  11. Kwanza_Bot93

    How much longer is management going to put up with this shit. Really no excuses at this point.

  12. chaezer

    Bitim has a decent 3pt shot, I definitely want to see him get a few minutes and spot up some 3s.

  13. DatAspie2000

    I don’t understand why adding Carter and Craig have done literally nothing to help with the 3 pt shooting, but AKME looks even more pathetic now. Shoulda just blown it up at the deadline last year. Or in the off-season. Instead they delayed what for sure needs to be done at this years deadline. Maybe things would be better if they had fired the coach long ago like a competent organization would’ve done.

  14. Didn’t watch. Can we blame this loss on Lavine?

  15. lyme6483

    If/when this team rebuilds PWill needs to be one of the players traded as well. No way in hell would I be locking into him in any sort of way. You don’t need his future $$$ clogging cap for how he looks.

  16. Most-League-1649

    Trade the vets and let Coby and Patrick lead you to a high draft lottery odd.

    Bottom out.

    But for real this time.

    The last time they didnt and end up with shitty picks and shitty players.

  17. ClaymoresRevenge

    If we were supposed to tank last year after the deadline maybe Billy and the team just got the memo.

    This team just doesn’t have fight in them.

    Zach makes bad plays on offense and defense in transition. Him driving into the paint to pass in a crowded area leading to a turnover or bad shot just doesn’t help.

    Vooch might as well just been a cardboard stand in with the way he just stood there.

    DeMar loves to take contested shots and foul on defense. Completely refusing to take 3s when he’s open. In fact he isn’t even setting screens when he can help the offense move.

    Coby isn’t working with this starting group but I’m more inclined to believe nothing at all works.

    Carter seems like he was the only one besides Caruso who wanted to show up and try on defense.

    I’m ready to fire everybody and trade everything.

  18. yungfella85

    Water under the bridge at this point but man still wish the Bulls swung for the fences in that 2018 draft and took MPJ. Tank the next year while he rehabs and you end up with Ja or Zion. Got something to look forward to. Really don’t see the point of keeping our current squad together. Basketball purgatory.

  19. Tony_Stonk1

    This is starting to approach Egg head Boylen levels of unwatchable and boring

  20. trubiskywetrust

    I’m overseas and very pleased that I haven’t had the opportunity to watch the bulls this year.

  21. Capital-Vacation-881

    The Bulls are probably the sorriest team in the league. A team of declining veteran players with no real trade value and no picks/young prospects to be excited about

  22. BullsUK

    If Billy the cunt is around much longer I may lose my mind. No reason to keep his ass if we end up trading in Jan

  23. Temporary-Match9937

    The Bulls gave the LaVine era more of a leash than the Butler era. Love Zach and I know it’s different front offices but man it has been organizational failure after failure since Jordan left. One ECF since 1998
ONE. We’re a poverty franchise at this point. 😔

  24. There’s so much to be said about this game. Just blow it up already. Including Donovan and AKME too probably.

    Donovan is so bad. Like I knew he wasn’t going to be that good at in game management and bad at putting in an offensive system. I didn’t realize how bad he would be at developing players too. I can’t think of one thing Billy does well.

  25. Aradune9

    1st half actually wasn’t that bad. That’s actually been a consistent theme this year. Why do we fall apart so horribly in the 2nd half?

  26. EnterTheCabbage

    Mom, can we have a playmaking Serbian big?

    We have playmaking Serbian big at home.

  27. SpaceFace11

    IDK what happens at halftime but every game after halftime we look like shit. It’s like the other team makes adjustments and we do nothing.

  28. GItPirate

    Serious question. Why are the bulls so bad? I see the players and feel like they shouldn’t be this bad..

  29. GarfieldDaCat

    Vucevic fucking sucks. Hated hated hated the trade at the time and still do

  30. Carrier_Conservation

    You know its probably going to be bad, but it still sucks when it occurs.

  31. Lol even Bulls players are over it man. You can tell there are zero vibes on this team. Time to move on.

  32. ShakaJewLoo

    I can’t believe the Bulls don’t have more wins than the bears through 7 games. Sheesh.

  33. Bleachighost

    Glad AK is letting the value of all our players tank before sending them away, good strategy, pwills could’ve gotten a decent haul a year ago

  34. IHaveOneLifeToLive

    Blow it up. The only player I care to see on the Bulls is Alex Caruso anymore. Jevon Carter is a nice person to have on the side too.

  35. Embarrassed_Tackle_5

    Chicago Blackhawks are more competitive than the Bulls that not rebuilding how is a rebuilding team better than them
