The Chicago Bulls were wholly dominated by the Suns in Phoenix on Wednesday by a score of 132-113. The result dropped their record on the season to 9-12. Devon Booker scored 51 points in just three-quarters of play. With those 51 points, on 20-for-25 shooting, in 31 minutes of playing time, Booker became just the fourth player in NBA history to score 50 or more points with 25 or fewer shot attempts and in 31 or fewer minutes.

16% from 3. This is the problem. Not because we don't have 3 point snipers, but because we're putting too much focus on shooting 3's. I get the NBA's focus nowadays is the 3 ball, but I don't need every team needs to be a great 3 point shooting team.
our team in particular i feel would do better if they didn't focus so much on 3's and focused on getting 3's the old fashioned way or focus more in the midrange game. the only 3's they need to worry about is closing out on the opposing teams 3 point shooters. that and play TEAM DEFENSE and HUSTLE. play like you want to be out there. play with some passion. don't rely on only your energy guys for it, it all starts with playing like you want to be out there and want to win.
i've also really disliked how the bulls try to shoot their way back into games by shooting the 3 ball too much. instead they should go hard to the basket, move the ball around and get high percentage midrange shots or close shots at the basket when possible. aka, PLAY THROUGH VUC!
This was an embarrassing game to watch. I didn't see much effort and the way they look is like a play in team.
Damn Kendall Gill and Will Purdue. I remember those guys from the 90s, Will in Chicago and Kendall in Charlotte. And yeah, Michael Jordan is the GOAT.
Look at the way Booker scored quick and within the offense vs how Demar scores (Iso ball). The Bulls need to trade him and let Pat and Ayo loose and play with pace
The Bulls gotta keep it simple. Play through Vooch and go from there. He can make the game easier on offense. And then give more consistent effort on defense.
You see the paint point scoring yet the Bulls kept going elsewhere…so annoying that this is constantly a critique of this team.
51 points in 31 minutes the bulls are pathetic
I stopped watching the game at halftime this team sucks
I still don’t know why almost every player on this team never goes for the offensive rebounds. They just jog back on defense without even making an effort to keep the possession alive especially when they are losing. Guards need to feed Vooch more. Green has to play more. I hate that Donovan sits him for most of the game. I want green over Williams. Williams had 28 minutes and just 2 points. The bulls on defense need to have mindset of intensity and toughness because there’s no energy.
