# #FreeAndreDrummond
That man may miss a fuck ton of layups but his effort and energy on defense is infectious. Monster performance
There better be a lot of love for Demar on this sub after this game. He won this game at the end.
And big Drum had a hell of a game. He needs more minutes.
Proud of Drummond tonight. He showed up big. Great win by the Bulls!
**AC 4 MVP**
Sneaky good game from Ayo. 19/7/4 with 3 steals. FG% wasn’t excellent (shot 6/14) but hit some 3s and got to the line to make up for it.
This is the veteran’s game. Coby and Pat didn’t play well but Demar and Drummond are here to fuck shit up
Shoutout to Drumgod!
Great win today. Hopefully Coby can snap out his cold shooting streak. Drive home safely Chicago!!
Love how DeMar isos when its actually needed now, shout out to him for adapting
#BULLS WIN
The vets showed out tn. This game proves Drummond needs 5 more minutes per game when Vuc comes back. Billy needs to find him more minutes.
Win or lose, these type of games are so fun to watch. They brought the energy tonight. Also, Andre Drummond for mayor!
Andre Drummond tonight:
* 24 points (11/13 shooting)
* 25 fucking rebounds
* 1 assist
* 3 steals
* 2 blocks
What a fucking game from Dre man.
Give Drummond the game ball and a new contract, he’s earned it.
A N D R E D R U M M O N D
This game wouldn’t be close if Terry didn’t Terry lol
Big Cat mvp push starts now
Sooo Drummond should be starting until proven otherwise right
ITS A GROWN MANS GAME LIL FELLA
legit i want refund from zach, lonzo and max drum god.
seriously, trade vuc/lavine and start AD hes matured a lot not ballhog anymore.
this guy stayed in chi town for another vet min despite better offers.
Fun win
Merry Christmas Chicago
Rename this to the Andre Drummond Appreciation Thread!
Fuck we are going to have to open up the checkbooks to keep Paw, Deebo, and big AD after this season.
Need a back up big temporarily to spell Drummond. Who’s available? Boogie?
Ayo is a good player. The kid is good.
I love these bulls! Marry me.
Rest easy Vooch, Drummond got us covered at center 💪
Man, that Caruso sequence. If only he yammed that instead of trying to just lay it in.
START DRUMMOND
Drummond won’t do this every game but he definitely needs more play time simply because he changes the game on the defensive end due to his ability to block shots, play big and take up space. On offense he is a threat for the lob so defenses are caught off guard.
Shoutout Drum-god. Shoutout DeMar “every mistake I make gets roasted by this sub” DeRozan showing everyone how a vet gets clutch buckets. No shoutout to Trae Young’s flopping and chucking. Good W with all that salary on the sideline.

Andre be like
That was one of the finest performances by someone who stayed in his lane all game. Rebounds, layups, and dunks.
This version of Andre Drummond is great.
When he used to think he was the “franchise” player it led to a shit ton of stupid plays. That carried over to the Cavs and Lakers. Now he’s no longer forcing stupid drives & plays within the system.
WE HAVE A NEW STARTING CENTRE
DRUMMOND HAS BEEN UNLEASHED!!!! Wow, I was expecting some shaqtin-a fool moments from him knowing Vuc was out but booooy did he shut me up big dawg is a baller! Great game from Ayo 4orebs! Demar finally beating Johnson and giving us the win. Man I hope Coby fixes his shot Peter Patton where are you??
Amazing 2nd half for DeMar, he was operating with surgical precision. I would definitely say Drummond has earned more minutes after tonight too.
Sadly, rough shooting last 2 games from Coby (overall game was pretty good tonight though) and Williams looked completely invisible tonight.
also think it’s very encouraging that Coby still put up two solid games despite completely losing his shot. found other ways to score and contribute
Demar has always been solid when it matters. He may make some bad passes or turn overs or miss some clutch shots but some of this fanbase crucifies him for it. Games like this I hope the good stand out more than the bad and people don’t forget he is human but he is a winner and helps the team a lot.
demar my man he only isos when the young guns couldnt hit. And he gets it done.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO POST VIDEOS TO FACEBOOK!?
Good bounceback game
Drummond should definitely play like 5-ish more minutes when Vuc is having a bad game (which isn’t that uncommon).
There are 5 Carusos out there! What a play at the end of the game.
Drummond looked like Horace Grant tonight.
WE ARE ALL DRUMMERS TONIGHT
1.) This game really shows why DeRozan is still an asset with this team. As long as he keeps working with the system.
2.) Holy shit Drummond!
3.) Stop trying to trade Caruso. He’s fucking golden.
4.) Great coaching by Billy tonight. Perfect placement of timeouts, clutch play draw ups, and recognizing the hot hands during rotations (Ayo instead of PWill down the stretch).
