    Hali just came in and ended that game, wow

  2. Dalen +29 in a 16 point loss is kinda crazy lmao

  3. Temporary-Match9937

    Damn it seems that Coby is still a streaky scorer. He’s gotten better at other facets of his game but his value, ultimately, revolves around his off ball 3 point shooting. If he’s on, he’s very good if he’s off he’s just okay. We were never going to shoot the ball 50% the rest of the season and it’s obvious we still don’t have enough shooting, especially if Coby is off. The good thing is stats show shooting is the one skill that gets more and more consistent as players age. I have confidence in Coby.

  4. 3fiuNc7krj5eqw1s

    Stupid offense and careless defense down the stretch. That is all.

  5. WITHERDRAGONYT

    Rough game but we went out swinging for the most part, haliburton is that guy as well

  6. I know moral victories don’t matter, but i’m happy we didn’t lay down and die. Still lost, but that was a damn good stretch of fighting to get back into it at all before Hali called game.

    Incredible game from Pat and Dalen imo.

  7. thehunghippopotamus

    Zach for Hali, come on Indiana, it’s good deal.

  8. kingjuicepouch

    Tough night shooting the ball, can’t struggle that much and keep up with Indiana. Haliburton is excellent. On to the next.

  9. RelativeLeek9221

    Only got to watch the first half, I saw in the game thread that Coby left the game?

  10. Mundane_Pineapple_46

    Why did Drummond not play in the last quarter, was he gassed? Could’ve helped with some of those missed 3’s.

  11. The perimeter shooting is gonna be busted without Vuc facilitating up top. He’s the one who got the ball swinging during this run.

  12. volantredx

    Looked like the Bulls were going to overcome, but there’s a reason Hali is an all-star level player. The man basically came in and ended the night. Really obvious that a lot of guys are missing and Coby looks like he’s playing hurt. I’ll take it as a good sign that the Bulls didn’t just lay down and die. That’s not been the case in the last few years so good on them.

  13. Coby we gotta talk about that shot selection.

    Sanogo congrats on your first court time

    Paw was really there when needed, some insane grabs.

  14. Imsoamerican

    We had $100M riding the bench tonight and for at least a couple more nights. I don’t like losses but this wasn’t too bad.

  15. ArchangelZero27

    Coby hurt? II am hoping he shakes this off it has been too long now he has disappeared feels like forever. Was starting to think Coby is him he found his new player form and took the leap forward but Im starting to get nervous again like the old coby is back

  16. DatAspie2000

    This game, and how this mediocre team is, is AK’s fault. He passed up on Halliburton because they liked a bench player at Florida State. 2 years later he passed up on Walker Kessler. And he got an extension because his boss is just as pathetic.

  17. It was unrealistic to expect Coby to keep performing like he was. But the Bulls’ off-ball defense is still below average because they can’t fall out of love with ball watching, overcommitting on help defense and unwise switching.
    This game, they had Haliburton shooting lights out from anywhere on the court and it’s just going to be tough to win.

  18. LazyCulito

    Blow this team up already..this squad isn’t winning anything any time soon.

  19. BlammoSweetums

    I liked what I saw from Pat and Dalen tonight. Pacers are just an overall better team, though I’m curious if they can sustain their offense for the whole season. Haliburton is really damn good.

    I expect the losses to start stacking up from here, especially given the injuries, so it’s very much once again about seeing some individual development from the younger players.

  20. Jevon Carter is butt cheeks, and should’ve never touched the court in the last 15 minutes. Completely ruined momentum.

    The -12 does NOT tell the whole story. He ruined all momentum when he was on the court.

  21. Complete_Fly_8918

    Jevon Carter sucks. I can’t count the amount of open passes he misses to take a falling away 3 to brick

  22. Drummond 7pts/16rbds in 21 minutes. He should have played more. Giving him barely any more minutes than he got when Vuc played is criminal. I get he doesn’t space the floor but Javon Carter was complete ass today and Coby wasn’t making any shots. Small ball only works when the shot makers are hitting their shots and when they’re not, you need a guy like Drummond getting all those boards for 2nd chance points. Terry Taylor is absolute ass too, playing him 14 minutes is ridiculous. This loss is on Billy imho.

  23. LordGooseIV

    3-point shooter Coby White feels like a distant memory now. The Bulls still need to shoot better.

  24. YoHoochIsCrazy

    Hali is just ridiculous. Our guys are hitting a little bit of a wall without Vuc now, but hey we just lost to a good team with half of our salary cap not playing.

    PWill and Terry showing some good stuff.

  25. -AlexJones-

    didnt watch but coby’s stats starting to look like zach’s 🙁

  26. sillysam17

    Patrick Williams is younger than the following NBA players:

    * LaMelo Ball
    * Scottie Barnes
    * Ayo Dosunmu
    * Johnny Juzang
    * Evan Mobley
    * Keegan Murray
    * Jalen Williams

  27. jamesid-2010

    i’ve said it before but coby will have to adjust being the number 1-3 option on offence, especially how new it is. credit where it’s due, indiana played him into tough shots, but coby will find his confidence against tougher defence eventually. i have full faith in him to do so.

  28. SpaceFace11

    Damn we really reeled them in and then proceeded to let them win by 16..
