    Bad loss, but Houston very difficult to beat on the road for whatever reason. Bulls need to win a game against Celtics, Knicks or Timberwolves to make up for it.

  2. BlammoSweetums

    That DeMar foul was wild lmao

    Anyway, nice game from Ayo and I liked what Dalen did

  3. EasternRespect6681

    Love the energy from Delan, Ayo, and Coly. Trade VOC and Bring back Demar

  4. I’m tired of other teams allowed to play so physical against us and not get a foul called, but we breathe on them and it’s free throws.

  5. How are you supposed to win when Houston has three extra people on the floor calling the game in their favour?

  6. chitownbulls92

    A couple of things I want to see happen.

    1. Vuch gone
    2. Billy gone

  7. kingjuicepouch

    Shout out to Ayo being the best player on the floor tonight btw, that man’s become a bona fide bucket

  8. HOU was always gonna be a tough one with the run they’re on + how good they are at home. Shame that we couldn’t keep our cool when the calls weren’t going our way.

    Coby a bit rusty which is fair enough but it’s nice to have him back. Amazing run for Ayo, hope he keeps it up.

    Some perspective – we started the season with 5 wins and after getting our asses kicked we we’re now 29-22 or something. But yes.. fire Billy, right?

  9. Obviously not the result we wanted, but god damn, Dalen looked like a legitimate rotation player tonight.

  10. Powerful_Affect_5091

    Really love Delan and Ayo today, VOC not so much and Sign back Demar asap

  11. Say what you want about the refs, Deebo cannot react that way. You’re in your mid 30s and a leader on the team, keep your cool. I would be furious if someone decided to body check one of our guys. That kind of behavior is unacceptable, and he deserved to be tossed.

    We remain allergic to 500. It was kind of fun to see the boys play without Deebo for a bit there. Besides Vuc, he had one of his low effort games. A bad showing from our vets.

  12. Chitowneer

    I honestly believe DeMar wouldn’t have got ejected if Brooks didn’t get in on it.

  13. high_af_on_science

    Dalen is finally starting to look confident to play his game out there. Fly around with that dawg high energy. I hope he keeps building.

    I know he’s already 21 and should have been cut after he wasn’t an all star his rookie year but it’s nice to see such an old player be given a chance to develop.

  14. crusty_butter_roll

    Terry with the 6pt 7rb 5at +9 stat line in only 17min. Billy should have played him more.

  15. There isn’t a worse team in the league then the bulls when they have a chance to be .500.

  16. LordGooseIV

    You knew this game was a lost cause when the Rockets put up 42 points in the first quarter. Officials, as always, are a joke. Donovan sucks.

  17. Vegetable-Struggle30

    I am shitting my pants aggressively

  18. volantredx

    I couldn’t watch the game. Looks like Ayo crushed it. No idea about anything else but apparently Vooch sucked tonight and DeMar got ejected?

  19. plague__8

    we gotta be one of the worst 1st quarter teams right? idk why people thought this was an easy win, the rockets are on a hot streak. not looking forward to the celtics game but we’re unpredictable so who knows

  20. Chitowneer

    That offense looked real rough once DeMar was out. Felt like the only times we were able to score were fast-breaks and putbacks.

    And honestly Vooch gotta do better than that. No Sengun. Smith in foul trouble. He should be dropping a 40 piece. Not 16 points on 16 shots as a Center.

  21. Boston next, better pucker up.

    Ayo 40 piece please?

  22. tallslim1960

    Dillon Brooks is a no talent clown who is always trying to instigate confrontation. Demar has to be smarter.

  23. Mundane_Pineapple_46

    I think the major problem with Vuc is that he plays too many minutes, especially with Pat out. I’ve often noticed he starts out well then fades horribly. Pat also is way stronger defensively, which we’ve really missed since he’s been out. With another big man we’d be able to rest Vuc more and he’d be more effective.

    Although tonight they just made more shots than us, simple as that. Same attempts, 5 more makes.

  25. Chitowneer

    DeMar’s presence on the court really opens up good looks for everyone cuz of the attention he attracts from the defenses, specially late in the game. We did not get a single good look in the half-court set once DeMar was ejected tonight.

  26. Didn’t watch the game but dam what happened to Demar? Was he ejected early?

  27. A1Horizon

    One day we’re just gonna unleash the young guys, I’m patiently waiting for that day… all the talent is there, it’s just opportunity
