The Chicago Bulls Should Be Embarrassed!

The Chicago Bulls Should Be Embarrassed!

Two for 29 the Bulls shot two for 29 from the three-point line against the worst defensive team in the NBA the worst team in the NBA by record and they were held to under 100 points against said team in the Detroit Pistons now I don’t want to dismiss the Pistons and

The effort they displayed tonight give them credit for the way they showed up after having two heartbreaking losses one being last night against the Knicks in a game they should have won after a very bad call in the final play of the game but even though the Pistons have

Been playing a lot better recently this is still a team that has only won eight games all season going into T night a team that is very young inexperienced in a team that lost 28 straight games earlier in the year you can’t lose to a team like that not at home and

Especially when you have arguably the toughest stretch of games ahead of you taking on the Cavs tomorrow then the bucks then going out west against the Kings Jazz Warriors and Clippers like no I don’t care how you slice it I don’t care if this was just a bad shooting

Night and outlier of a game this was an embarrassing loss and an embarrassing effort from the Bulls and what is probably the worst loss of the season the first being the last time they played the Pistons and lost to them which is just comical that the nine

Games the Pistons have won two of them are against the Bulls just absurd now look I get that the Bulls are not going to shoot like that every night in fact they’ve never shot the ball that poorly this season 7% from three I feel like no team has probably shot the three ball

That bad this year and yes if the Bulls even shot 30% from 3 to9 which is still below average that completely changes the outcome of the game and the Bulls probably win and if we’re being honest some of those shots were actually good looks they were generating these shots

With great ball movement and moving around screens making the extra pass but what bothered me is the Bulls continue to Chuck up threes even though they were ice cold they weren’t going with what works or at least what was working in this game in the first half they weren’t

Attacking the basket they weren’t feeding it into vvi they weren’t effectively cutting to the basket on the inside they weren’t doing what was working well to to an extent but was just in the first half despite the three ball not going down and the poor shooting aside because again sometimes

Bad shooting nights happen but where was the effort where was the urgency you’re playing against the worst team in the league in a game you need to win a team that just played last night in New York and this is how you showed up taking your opponent lightly let’s just keep

Jacking up threes and then not hustling back on defense and just fouling them in frustration because you got beat on the other end like what is that look I get that you’re fatigued I get that it’s a long season and you’re short-handed but you’re a professional basketball team

Come ready to play and it’s funny too because this is coming off of a night where the Bulls have one of the better wins of their season in a gutsy effort against the New Orleans Pelicans in New Orleans just such an inconsistent team with inconsistent effort from the Bulls

It’s why continuity is not everything now while I know we like to overreact to a single game as we do on this channel we think the Bulls are turning things around when they beat a team like the Pelicans and then we quickly do an about face when they lose to the Pelicans and

It’s doomsday all over again and overreacting to a single game aside there have been some things that have been concerning to me that have more or less started to become a trend recently one of them is Kobe white Kobe has been in quite a bit of a slump since the

All-Star break and actually really before the All-Star break the really the last five or six games of course he’s playing like this after I did a video on how he was a lock on the most improved player of the year hasn’t really been selling that ever since and while I get

Fatigue has to be a factor he’s never been playing these kind of minutes before his entire career the way he’s been playing as of late is caused for concern where you go back to some of his previous Seasons Seasons where we talked about how he was the most inconsistent

Player in the league and we joked about how this season he’s finally started to show up consistently well and impacting the game in so many ways even outside of just scoring but over the last five or so games it’s almost like we’ve seen the old Kobe white now I will say one big

Difference is Kobe has been able to impact the game in other ways when his shots aren’t falling but because Kobe is a subpar Defender he tries but he’s not a good Defender and it’s not like he has Elite level Court Vision or on ball creation so when that shot isn’t falling

It impacts the Bulls greatly especially when he’s now become the Bull’s second scoring option over his last five games Kobe is shooting 14 for 47 from three sorry over his last six games that’s just shy of 30% he hasn’t really been shooting the ball well from the field as

A whole either hasn’t been as effective in finishing at The Rim teams are starting to pay close attention in how he attacks the basket he’s either getting rejected at The Rim or he’s heavily contested and making it a very difficult shot and what had me a little

More concerned in the game tonight was the fact that Kobe looked like he was trying to force things too much like it reminded me of Zach and dear at times when their shots weren’t falling and they would just keep forcing the issue until they got their scoring numbers up

To not negatively impact their stats Kobe tonight two for 14 0 for five from three 10 points a minus 15 on the floor a non-factor tonight for the Bulls when the Bulls so desperately needed his offense the other thing that had me concerned dear is getting tired I mean

Those minutes are catching up to him he was great in the first half I believe he was what seven for seven didn’t miss a single shot at halftime second half went two for n still finished with 25 points on 9 for6 overall but you can tell in

The second half of games in the last few contests the Bulls have had he’s coming out much more slowly and walking the ball up way too frequently for a team that already has the slowest Pace in the league and desperately needs to keep pushing the ball to be effective and

Successful I mean really the only two players who showed up well in this game were vuvi and Andre Drummond I would G vu’s stat line was a bit inflated because he was really bad on the defensive end in the paint and finished the game A minus 21 which was a team low

When he was on the court but it is telling that you had both of the Bulls bigs who were on the court at various times together both of them had monster games on offense vich puts up 25 and 10 12 for 23 from the floor Drummond 20 and

11 9 for 14 and yet the Bulls kept chucking up threes when they wouldn’t go down kuso had a good game as well like even though his shots weren’t falling and he went over five from Deep he was a monster on defense as he always is pestering K Cunningham five steals in

Only 25 minutes as he had to leave the game for some time after tweaking that ankle on the fall although they were saying it was a hamstring injury on the broadcast but yeah aside from those guys nobody had an exceptional game when your three guards your three best shooting

Guards go over 15 from three you know it’s going to be a long night and a tough game to try and win it’s honestly shocking the Bulls were actually able to keep it this close when they hit two threes all night shooting seven % from downtown what’s funny is that their only

Two threes that were made came from Nicola vuvi and dalan Terry two of their worst three-point Shooters can’t make the stuff up also my God Javon Carter him coming in for Alex Caruso smoking layups and more or less airballing threes for one anddone possessions yikes things are just looking worse and worse

For that guy and what was thought to be a big free agency signing for the Bulls man also the Bulls had 40 points in the second half against the Pistons gross like I said it’s not going to get get any easier for the Bulls these next few

Games I can’t say with confidence that they’re going to win any of them I hope they beat the Warriors since I’ll be at that game but the Bulls don’t have a good track record when they come out west so we’ll see what happens to make matters worse the Hawks are actually

Playing better without Trey Young and the Bulls are only one game ahead of Atlanta right now for 10th in the Eastern Conference continuity baby anyway let me know what your guys’ thoughts were on this game let me know in the comments as always be sure to
