    The refs fucked us but, we still had a great chance to win. Sorry to say this but, I feel Patrick Williams doesn’t know which way is up sometimes. He boxes out, we win the game.

  2. CubsBearsIlliniBulls

    The bad officiating and Donovan Mitchell nuke strike was a call from the basketball gods to blow this shit up

  3. regularsizedboots

    Refs sold the game in the third, bulls sold in the fourth

  4. aviddemon

    About as an embarrassing a loss as you can come up with

  5. tamantayoshi

    What a pathetic team these bulls are smh.

  6. 71?!?! Jesus fucking christ Mitchell cooked us

  7. Practical_Cod2053

    One of the worst losses in bulls history

  8. Even if it means giving up a top 10 scoring performance in nba history, the Bulls will find a way to lose

  9. Temporary-Match9937

    Bad reffing be damned. 71 fucking points and a 20 point comeback?! Man blow this shit up. This team is miserable. CAREER LOSERS. Fuck Akme and Billy, they can go too.

    Takeaways from tonight’s game:

    * Deebo was very good on offense and defense tonight. Can’t ask for more. It would’ve been an even more ridiculous statline without the performance from the zebras. He’s not a great 3 point shooter, but he’s been taking more recently and I think it’s a good thing. He was 2/5 before the last shot in reg and it forces the defense to play him way harder off ball. He’s a capable shooter if left open so him taking them matters a lot imo.
    * Zach had a solid shooting night, but not great. Happy with how he played as a whole. When they got into foul trouble it was really nice to see him go to the basket after working the outside early. This is what Zach should be doing against teams that block shots well. Outside first, then inside when they’re struggling with the bonus.
    * Vucevic didn’t get many shots tonight, but the team looked good as a whole. He was doing what was necessary and did it efficiently. I do think we should’ve went to him even more after they put JA on Demar. K-love is not capable of defending him and that’s just a fact.
    * Pat had an underwhelming night. The box out on the last FTA in reg hurts a lot.
    * AC was struggling to finish at the rim, I’m not going to lie. He played D as well as anyone could with how this game was officiated.
    * Billy needs to be better about dealing with adjustments mid game. After JA went onto Demar we really didn’t have a plan in my eyes. Demar needs to get that ball after getting a switch or we need to go to Zach/Vucevic. At least he picked up a tech in the 3rd quarter about officiating. It should’ve happened sooner.
    * In OT we just couldn’t make a 3. Pat missed one, Ayo missed two, Zach missed one. It’s on a knives edge at that point and we just didn’t make the shots.
    * Even though I try to avoid this a lot in the recaps, it probably needs to be said. It was a shameful display from the Zebras tonight. 40 fucking FTA’s in regulation. This game was absolutely free until the 3rd quarter where they got to the line 20 something times.

    MVP’s for tonight: Demar DeRozan with HM’s going to Zach and Vucevic.

  11. So when do we make this sub about actual bulls?

  12. illyxpink

    Horrible horrible way to end the game lmao letting Mitchell get 71 fucking points are you kidding me? I know the refs played a big part in that but god. Damn. That is terrible. Other teams are continuously breaking records against us. It’s not a coincidence

  13. BlurryWoodstock

    PWills with perhaps the worst game of his career. Complete choke job on his part. Also, fuck the refs.

  14. So, on the three ball by Vuc to tie the game in regulation, DeMar drives and kicks to LaVine and LaVine Drives and kicks to Vuc and it worked….

    But with the game on the line we go RIGHT BACK TO DEMAR ISO FADEAWAY.

    For the love of God. STOP. it’s predictable and a low percentage shot. Gtfoh with that weak ass “play”

  15. Pacman2933

    Stop giving the ball to DeMar 24/7 in crunch time. Teams are learning to double him at the end of these and he is STILL GETTING THE FUCKING BALL. WHY

  16. If we blow it up it would be what, the 7th, 8th time? I dunno, what’s the point in watching anymore
