The Bulls may never lose again
This is how you respond. On to the next one.
About damn time
That was fun
Don’t get it twisted. We are still a sorry ass team.
But
#BULLSNATION
All it took was some confrontation between them lol
AK: “I’m proud of you. You earned me an extra 1st Round pick tonight.”
Zack: “wat”
Bulls are back
Takeaways from tonight’s game:
* Demar played a good game. Shot well, passed well, and got us to the bonus insanely fast in the second half. He was active fighting on defense getting deflections and jumping passing lanes.
* Vucevic was probably the best player on the court tonight and I’m happy we actually took advantage of him. With how Miami switches on defense, this is the perfect team for Vucevic to feast against and he did. By the end of the night he had fire coming out of his fingertips. He even forced some TO’s on defense.
* Zach played well on both sides of the floor. If this was an average Zach LaVine game, I’d never bitch about him. I just want him to be active on offense and defense.
* Pat had a shocker on offense in the first half today. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. He played damn good defense, but he definitely was forcing some stuff on offense and it led to some poor shots and turnovers. He passed very well.
* AC was solid as hell even if the effort plays don’t show up on the stat sheet.
* Coby was really fucking good off the bench. The shooting splits don’t look great on the stat sheet, but he was active on both sides of the ball and fighting for rebounds…didn’t take any bad shots. No complaints.
* Hopefully DJJ didn’t get banged up too badly. He’s been solid as hell all year and went back into the locker room in the third quarter.
* I’ll admit when I’m wrong and I initially was bitching about DJJ at the five instead of Drummond when Vucevic was feasting, but looking at the difference after seeing both play, Billy was right about DJJ being the backup 5 in this game.
* It’s Miami without Jimmy and Lowry…we should win this. That being said, I’m a glutton for punishment and hope that argument the team got into in Minnesota actually lights a fire under their asses that doesn’t go out in 4 games.
MVP’s for tonight: Nikola Vucevic, Zach LaVine, and Demar DeRozan (for I believe the first time this year with all 3 of them)
Cool I guess?
Bulls wins this month:
Wizards-no Beal.
Mavs-no Luka.
Heat-no Jimmy.
Good response
I’m so happy rn. I’ll drink the Kool aid through tick n thin
Fuck it. 64-18 the rest of the szn
Thank FUCK
Big 3 played big tonight, finally some defense despite them not having jimmy buckets or lowery, but a win is a win against a good heat team
If they could care and play unselfish basketball like this every night
I’m glad Orlando Vuc showed up in Miami.
We are fuelled by anger and yelling I guess. Bring on the Sith lineup
Barely beat a Heat team without their best players…plan the parade 🙄
Let’s still tank for Victor wembanyama. We aren’t doing shit this year
Can I see a game we’re Vuc puts up 20 attempts, the team never repost the man when he passes it back
We should try out scoring the other team every game.
No way they go back to back dubs tomorrow night…but please god
They won, then what?
Play off? Really? Not gonna happen.
Playoff win? Made me laugh.
Show me real effort for the next 20 f** games
Love how we used Vooch way more creatively this game. Way more corner threes for him and he got a lot of screens set for him to give him space for quick shots. Also loved seeing PWill get more time being that slip for the double relief and getting to make free throw line decisions with the ball. And of course, making shots helps a lot!
someone needs to punch ayo in practice to wake him up
feels like hes been sleeplaying for the last month
one win against an already struggling Heat missing Jimmy and Lowry,
AK already on the phone telling everyone our roster is untouchable
Bulls said eat theseeeee…🥜
This team is still cheeks
Vucevic masterclass
a win is a win but I’m pretty sure we lose by 20+ if the Heat had Lowry, Butler and Martin
Drive home safely, Chicago! Beep-beep!
Now do it for the next game.
WLLWWLLWWLLWLLLLWWLWLLLWWLLLLWULLS
Our 2nd quarter is always so, so bad.
This win doesn’t impress me at all. Bulls have a lot of work to do to get into play-in range and their December schedule still has some tough games. We could be 14-22 by January.
I think this just shows when you feed Vooch he plays much better on the defensive end. Bam was unstoppable, but he did good at cutting off driving lanes and actually had some solid help on screens where Herro typically would’ve either had a lane or an open 3.
Watch the haters and “fans” stay quiet on this one
Tonight was the first time all season that DeMar passed the ball off the pick and roll and it looked so beautiful.. I think him passing was a bucket every single time he passed it to the roll man.. that play has been there all damn season.. I pray they continue to make that happen… I’m glad Ayo minutes have been cut i lowkey think him starting played a major part in our record being so bad… vooch is the man when he plays like this.. this team is unbeatable when they play for each other.. it’s no reason why the ball can’t move like this every game.. it was beautiful.. and last but not least Caruso and Patrick Williams playing together is so beautiful on the defensive end!
I know it was without Lowry and Butler so I should think we should’ve gotten a bit more of a stretch in the final score but I’ll take a win. Hopefully this knuckles us down to actually beat Hawks this time around. Also once again, what’s with always trailing at second quarter?
I think everythings gonna be alright.
TRADE VUC RIGHT NOW HIS VALUE WILL NEVER BE HIGHER
We needed this win, for the fans, to the players, to the coaches.
Couldn’t even get 130 pts.. /s
Couldn’t even get 130 pts.. /s
Guys don’t let this win fool you. Miami were without Jimmy. When they actually string some wins together and play like this consistently, then we can have hope.
You know quasimodo predicted all of this.
I love this team so much! DeMar! Zach! Vuc! The three kings!
