We’re going to the finals aren’t we
Personally, I thought Pat played quite well tonight.
The bench also showed up bigtime. Huge confidence booster all-around.
#INJECT THIS WIN INTO MY VEINS, BULLS NATION. WOO
PSA: Alex Caruso is Trae Young’s father.
W pat
Great win. Hope we can bring the same energy for tomorrow! Great to have Bulls basketball back!
Pat got a good double double. I’m happy for him.
paw patrol was out in full force tonight
Perfect time to start racking up these wins
Team hitting its stride at the right time.
AC had Young in a place below Hell
WLLWWLLWWLLWLLLLWWLWLLLWWLLLLWWWLWWLLWWWLLLWWWULLS
PDub with a double double, gotta love it
PWill had a slow start and then finished extremely strong again. That’s showing growth in his mentality. Btw… he’s 21!
Pat, pat yourself on the back! Great game!
Honestly? Every Bull did their job how they were supposed to. We’re a good team when that happens.
Defense wins championships
Caruso an absolute menace
BULLy ball iS BACK
18-10-2 and a steal for PDub 😮💨😮💨
These are the kind of games where you appreciate Vuc the most. Didn’t score too much but 17 rebounds and some assists. We were clearly pressuring them with Vuc on the floor with either DeMar or Zach.
Great game from Pat and Caruso.
Love to see Pat with a double double! Anyone know how many he has in his career? Can’t be more than a handful.
Patrick Williams growing up right in front of our eyes
Very important win
If we can keep this win streak going it can be the season turnaround
a team held to 100 points in this day and age? yikes
Good win. Team looks great.
Man… if PWill can start giving us a consistent and reliable 15 and 8, the offense starts to look really potent.
We need a PG, though. Ayo has been fine but this offense would hum with a prime time facilitator.
Caruso my beloved with a defensive gem!
Paw and Vooch gobbling up boards!
Zach and DeMar getting PETA angstey shooting down the hawks!
Bulls Basketball 😤
Excellent defense and ball movement tonight. Shout out to Williams for what is I think the first double double of his career (or at the very least, his first of the season).
Sorry pat i owe you an apology. I wasn’t familiar with your game
Good team win love the way everybody contributed. That defense is what need need consistently.
Very impressed with how Pat is developing. To be honest I think a huge piece of this team’s success is Vuc perfecting the role he has started figuring out these past few months. Caruso was literally everywhere and DeMar was smooth. A lil ref ball in the 3rd but nothing like that Cavs game 👀 big win for the bulls
Takeaways from tonight’s game:
* Deebo started out real fucking rough and then put in into overdrive in the second half. Man showed up for his 1000th game and still has more in the tank. I don’t think his importance can be stated. In the third, Atlanta went on a run and you could see just how less calculated we were with Demar off the floor. He also played solid defense and grabbed 3 steals in there as well.
* Zach kinda had a rough game on offense, but he wasn’t a liability on defense and was out there fighting. No complaints, mediocre shooting nights happen.
* Vucevic putting up another double double. Not a great offensive game, but he swallowed rebounds tonight with how ugly the first half was. Also a great passing night.
* Pat played fucking awesome. 18/10/2/1 on good splits. Got to the line, played solid defense, and moved well off the ball. It’s looking like the kid is starting to come into his own and we’re here for it.
* AC played fucking great as well. Significant factor on both sides of the floor. Can’t ask for more.
* Coby kinda shot the ball like shit, but he was a menace on defense and having a dude as ready as he is to let shots go is always nice. Bad shooting nights happen, but more often than not he’s shooting way better than tonight. In another timeline, Coby puts up 25 off the bench tonight.
* This one was a solid team win. No one was shooting the lights out, no one was taking over the game. We took care of the ball better and grinded a lot of stops and that was the difference. It was ugly as hell, but being able to win these games where it’s a battle isn’t something we were doing at the start of the year.
Not doing MVP’s tonight. There’s an argument for most of the dudes who touched the floor tonight being on the list.
Idk how long it’ll take Pat but I hope we have him here through it. He’s taking extra dribbles now, he’s understanding for several games now how to create assists in transition through an early drive. His 3pt shot continues to be as optimistic as I wanted it to be before the season started.
His defense is maintaining as well he broke up 2 lobs, caught on one but his rebounding is there too. I’m not huge on rebounding but he needs offensive rebounding and he’s been lurking for more runway there now which is great. Defensive rebounds he’s pulling down well too.
These are the games people don’t acknowledge when we have a bad defensive rebounding night and we’re still top 5 in defensive rebounding 3 years straight now.
Also everytime we play the Hawks and everytime I watch them it never feels like your playing against Dejounte and Trae at the same time when they share minutes. Turn based offense and idk what they expected putting a worse on ball only offensive player next to Trae, a similar type of offensive player. That’s like putting Demar next to Luka.
Vuc deserves some credit as well. 17 rebounds and 7 assists. Plus 19.
So we are 11-6 after twolves and as everyone knows it should be 13-4 but even taking 11-6 winning percentage and applying it to the rest of weaker schedule, we end up at 45-37 and if we apply the higher winning percentage we end up at 49-33. We should be at least sixth seed if we keep this up even without Lonzo.
Such an important win and love how the Bulls didn’t let a 3rd quarter run by ATL deter them from playing defense and defaulting to an offensive shootout. I think we started the 4th with back to back to back great defensive stops? I wouldn’t believe that if you told me it happened a month ago
Paris trip really brought this team closer. Chemistry & ball movement was crazy tn!
