We’re painfully mid
9-14 😵💫😵💫😵💫
AKME: “I might trade Vuc and Demar, so like be good again.”
Zach: “Bet”
I fucking hate this team lol this is such a non enjoyable team. Nothing about the way they play is aesthetically pleasing.
I’m sad 🙁
Bears and bulls are really depressing
Well Zach Lavine is awake and he is mad. So we’ve got that going for us which is nice.
Bitch ass crowd chanting nonsense after a bullshit tech. Downvote me if you want, Kings fans. It’s true.
[deleted]
Those of you still watching this terrible team: Why?
I am starting to revert to pre 2021 levels of confidence in this team and not giving a fuck anymore
Need to save my sanity
is there any team in the NBA in a worse situation than us
Zach’s best game of the season and we still can’t win. He went straight off the court at the end. Didn’t even look at his teammates. Team has so many problems right now.
I swear Vuc has a negative vertical. The man just stands on his toes when he is contesting shots.
The Chicago Contested Jumpshots
Time to entertain some trades for Vuc and Demar. I’m sure the lakers would salivate for Derozan.
We don’t have to pull the trigger, but this experiment isn’t working unless we get Lonzo and Lavine to back full health which isn’t happening this year.
Fun game until the nonsense at the end. Zach was super sick tonight.
games like this makes me miss Thadgic lighting up defenders with his old-man game
AKME the type of guys to not replace their broken car due to “continuity”
I hate these guys so much for tricking me into thinking that they were ever a championship contender. Fucking weak ass frauds.
Huerter was 1/11 from 3 and the Bulls still made fewer 3s (9/25) than the Kings (13/43). The math ain’t gonna do itself.
Damn caruso just keeps smiling with other teams, guess someone wants a trade.
/s
The front office got us in this mess, let’s see how they get us out of it lol
This reminds me of the 2016 Bulls
Am I the only one that finds this team boring to watch? IDK what it is, but I like don’t get excited to watch games anymore.
41 points from Zach and this team still gets outplayed for 3 quarters.
When is the last time Zach and DeMar had good games at the same time? Those last 6-7 minutes we’re dreadful.
obviously, there are no plans both in and outside of the court for this team.
I am just happy that Zach had a great game
Takeaways from tonight’s game:
* Deebo was pretty off tonight. All there is to say really.
* This is the first game this year where Zach has looked like the dude we signed. Good from start to finish. Great game as a whole. He even played some defense today.
* Vucevic was rough. 2/6 from below the 3 point line and a sub par rebounding night.
* Pat played great D the whole night imo. 1 of 3 players who were positive on their time in the floor tonight (the other two being Zach and Coby).
* Ayo was decent defending the ball tonight, really bad off-ball leaving the wrong guys open. A few super strange transition breakdowns where he was defending air there.
* I’m honestly super happy with how Coby played. Man was making hustle plays and put up 7/4/2 in 17 minutes. Really impressed with how he improved on the defensive end this year.
* As a whole we just dug ourselves a hole in the second quarter with how many turnovers we gave up. Really makes it hard to win when we’re just going down 15-20 every game.
MVP’s for tonight: Zach LaVine with an HM going to Pat and Coby
Okay. I think it might be time for a coaching change. For two seasons our offense has been “give Zach or Demar the ball while the other four stand around”. It’s maddening.
I wish I could ask Caruso what he does in the offseason because not having a semblance of a jump shot at this point is criminal.
That was so winnable. This team is so frustrating
good job by vucevic on the boards tonight. only 11 less than his opponent.
I mean now some of you can stfu about Zach not being a good player
At least Zach is back?
This team is broke af. We’re not mid. We got one of the worst records in the league. We aren’t going anywhere near the playoffs
Perdue dropping truth. This team is a joke.
I’m not having fun anymore, Neil Funk
Disband the chicago bulls. Send the players evenly across the league and transfer jordan’s records to the wizards
I hope if nothing else this nasty skid shows AKME how utterly wrong they were about “continuity”.
Nothing about this team as it is should be actively continued. There’s still a chance to retool and bring out the best of everyone but time is running out and if AKME still haven’t changed their minds than this team is doomed.
17 assists for the whole team! That’s all that needs to be said about how our offense plays
This team is so shit I can’t take it. You can’t play offense like this in 2022. The Victor sweepstakes makes things very interesting for mid teams like us who are just stuck in the middle. Might have to trade players away for draft picks because we’re so bad and Orlando has our pick. If your even close to winning the lottery you gotta go all in to get #1
Zach actually had an overall solid game. Started forcing it a bit at the end but everyone else looked useless. Some strong rebounds and 4 steals, really nice game.
I have so much negative to say but what’s the use lol. Nothings gonna change
If this team could play active defense the whole game we’d be unstoppable. Our comeback was built on being disruptive and keeping players off balance. As soon as it got close players just got lazy and started to foul on drives rather than actually try to slow the players down.
Trade caruso to warriors. Trade vuc and demar to lakers. Pray someone will trade for ball. Save our own 1st this year, accumulate picks and have max cap space available after the trades and after westbrooks deal expires.
Rebuild
Of course the one night when Zach goes ham, Demar’s shot is nowhere to be found.
Trade these guys and reset
