Easily the worst officiated game of the year. Out of sync all game. The offense just wasnt there outside of KD and Curry. We make it hard on ourselves when Kyrie is off and our role players are non factors. Would have loved to kept the streak going but its fine. On to NOLA. Bounce back Royce. Can’t be missing that many wide open looks on this team.
Feel the pain for about 10 mins then get over it. It’ was an amazing run.
Wasted a great KD performance smh. Royce was a liability on wide open shots all night and Ben having no impact is a big issue he didn’t even play down the stretch
The Bulls played really really well. They deserved to win
The Nets role players did not play well, and that was the difference. Shot selection was a bit questionable. Ben did not play well
Hopefully they rebound next game, but this streak was mighty impressive. Let’s start a new one
mark davis is a degenerate
he single handidly lost the nets the game
ben simmons gets hit in the head, no call
yuta goes straight up, derozan gets FTs
every single time the bulls missed, they got bailed out on FTs
Kyrie gets hit every single time he drives and refs don’t call a foul. I really hope he starts screaming b/c the refs don’t care unless u make noise
Completely lifeless game from all of Oneale, TJ, Joe, and Watanabe. Never thought I’d see all 4 play bad in one night but here it was.
Overreaction after overreaction, after overreaction after one bad game.
I saw people roasting Yuta but he only played 6 minutes because of these refs of course he isn’t going to be as good as normal. Like he had more points than Royce in 6 minutes and Royce played 30 mins.
Welp fucking trash refs in the first half and then too many mistakes in the 2nd. Streak had to end sometime and you figuring there’d be a night where nothing seems to go right
Got unlucky since everyone around us has been winning but we have two decent teams in NOLA and Miami to try and get back on track
Hope they are able respond to this on Friday.
Relatively speaking, we shot poorly and they shot well. Reffing was the worst I’ve seen yet this season, I saw KD/Kyrie getting fouled and not getting calls.
Sometimes these games happen, and don’t forget we still have half of the season left. Onto the Pels.
Put this game to the bin
It was a nice run, still breaking records regardless
We had to lose eventually. Subpar shooting night and Chicago just executed well. Kudos to them. I liked how we made adjustments during the game like on Vucevic but it wasn’t enough. At least now we can start a new winning streak!
Big ouch of a shooting night for O’Neale but would encourage him to keep taking those open shots. Kyrie forced a few and had a subpar game. Some really questionable foul calls early on Watanabe who I thought played overall excellent D.
Royce O-9Neale
Why Royce over Joe? Restricted minutes for Joe?
O/U was 234, ref ball ended at 233
Coincidence? Think not
JV really gotta know when to take Royce out of a fucking game. Too many times he keeps this man in when he has no business being on the floor
Refs made this a painful game to watch
Oh well. Off night. On to the next one
JV should’ve subbed out Royce in the 4th, tonight just wasn’t his night.
I know Royce will get thrown under bus but everyone except KD, Kyrie and Curry played like ass tonight. JV couldn’t find a way to get us going or get us stops. On to the next one
Can’t win them all. On to the next one.
It’s alright. Bad game on the road. We move onto the next.
How did Yuta and Sumner get only 6 and 4 minutes respectively whilst Royce “Curry” O’Neal played 34.
Mark Davis & Royce O’Neal. The greatest Bulls duo since Jordan and Pippen
Despite the poor officiating, why did Royce play 35 minutes and come up with 0 PTS 3 AST and 4 REB?
0-9 in the field and 0-8 at the 3…
Why was he getting minutes?
This loss sucks but lets take a step back, we had an incredible win streak. We collectively were just off tonight. Happens. On to the next one
A lot of you are gonna blame Royce but the team just didn’t look good all night. It happens.
I hope TJ is okay. I think we may rest him against Pels
calm tf down yall we won 12 straight jesus lmao. It was a bad game, get over it.
These off nights happen for every team and the streak was bound to end at some point. We’ll have to charge it to the game and keep moving
Typical Patrick Williams performance in which he balls out against the Nets, but then disappears against the rest of the league.
Royce… man. Please have a redemption game against the Pelicans.
Jacque played Royce, coming off a non covid illness, the 3rd most minutes on the team when the guy clearly CLEARLY didn’t have it tonight. How the heck can you be that stubborn? Did Royce threaten him or something?
Irving, O’Neale, Warren, Harris and Yuta combined to go 1/20 from 3.
Just one of those games where our shooters can’t buy a bucket.
Onto the next
Don’t be sad because its over, smile because it happened.
We start a new streak soon.
Refs trying to protect the 1st seed for their beloved new golden boy of the nba, Jayson Tatum.
We were due for a loss. It just sucks that it looked like this. We better not go on a losing streak now
Royce had a bad game but you just have to live with it 🤷🏾♂️. He’s usually a good shooter… he found a way to get open shots .. on to the next game 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
My takeaways:
– 1st half officiating and defense was generationally bad
– KD was KD
– Kyrie didnt have the 3 ball
– Role players minus seth were miserable
– Royce….
– Wish JV brought in KD a little earlier (since hes had extra rest)
– Also wish JV had Yuta or Joe in to close game once it was obvious Royce didnt have it
All in all, great streak. Tough stretch coming up, time to bounce back
why did royce close that game lmao? also what are we gonna do w ben come playoff time IF HES NOT CLOSING REGULAR SEASON GAMES??
Hey man, it was bound to end. Kudos to the fellas for playing so well this last month plus. Let’s get this dub in NO
The stretch in the 3rd quarter where the Bulls kept missing shots and turning it over but the Nets couldn’t capitalize on the other end was the game.
Make a few of those and it’s a lot different going into the 4th.
Refs were bad, but they are always bad, gotta overcome it.
Anyway, time to start a new streak, great run!
Royce, Warren, Clax, Harris disasterclass tonight.
Kevin and Seth absolutely breathing fire, but Kyrie chucking through traffic constantly.
I don’t even think shotmaking was that big of an issue, but Vuc absolutely hosing us down low killed us completely.
Loving the wonderful overreactions lmfao. Guys we just came off of a 12 game winstreak. The Celtics lost to fuckin OKC without Shai. Relax.
O’neale has been shooting 62% from 3 last 6 games. But just returned from sickness and is thrown in there. Honestly he was horrible but Jacque definitely should have put anyone else out there.
Huge disappointment, but hey, we’re in a league where an OKC team without SGA can beat a Celtics team with Tatum and Brown by 33. We’ve had uglier losses this season, onto the next game.
This game confirms we are a contender because the Bulls only beat the best!
