Zach with 4 absolutely brutal 4th Q turnovers
Only the bulls could lose like this
Just wow.
Wtf were those inbound plays?
This shit is unacceptable
Most unenjoyable bulls season ever. This team is unlikeable
lavine looked like shit in the 2nd half
We need a Minnesota 2.0 tonight with Zach
heads gotta roll
Choke job for the ages đ
Vooch and Patrick Williams have big first halves then Billyâs like nah ur not playing the 3rd quarter at all
Another heartbreaker đ
Not great.
we still dont play ANY resemblance of defense lmao
Way to completely disregard everything that has you up to just take random lobs on your way to a loss.
Most frustrating game of the year
Zach did just about everything he could to give that game away in the second half. Love the guy but might have been the worst game of his career
That was horrific
team can’t establish a god-given winstreak to save their own lives LOL
Only da Bulls lmao
This fucking team.
I’m over this soft ass team.
Of course we break pacers lose streak weâre the streak busters lmao
This is why I’m always nervous when we start off hot lol
Still can’t break that 4 game win streak curse
Streakbusters moment
2 steps forward, 5 steps backwards
Now that’s what a mediocre team looks like.
TJ McConnell is to Zach Lavine as Ayo is to Trae Young.
We are destined to sit just below .500 for the rest of our time.
The pacers have a better win percentage than us now. Carlisle > Donovan by a mile.
This team and the 2022 White Sox are spirit siblings
Lol how does Lavine not see Caruso under the rim wide open
Then the bulls just proceed to fold like a chair
How many times do we have to watch this shit! Blowing massive leads is just what we do
What a fucking slow motion car crash this game was, i know they were resting vuc but did they have to rest him THAT much?
Classic Zach. A million turnovers in the clutch, COMPLETELY missed AC wide open on the inbound, and bricks the only shot we need him to make. LOL.
Cant even pass the ball in properly, 5 fucking turn overs in 2 minutes just stupid.
Can all of the die hard Lavine fans explain how he is so bad in the clutch. He consistently makes stupid mistakes. I just don’t understand it.
“The Pacers have not coped well with the loss of Tyrese Haliburton to injury. They have lost seven straight games and have failed to cover the spread in their last five. During that stretch their offense rating is dead last in the NBA and their defensive rating is 21st. Their net rating is also last in the NBA.”
Put up the billboards to sack the coaching staff. Really really useless bunch. 2 years and the players and coaches cant figure out what to do if Zach or Demar is doubled on every single damn play. They just swing it on the perimeter and take long open bricks. They cant hit shots so cut to the rim or put some shooters on from the bench. The entire 4th qtr everyone but demar was terrified to play and billy sticks with that entire line up. Put someone from the bench to spark them or wants to go to work this was embarassing. You cant figure out what to do when doubled you dont belong in the nba, teams should run that against us all season long Im sorry but its our weak point I wanna see it more from opponents that was an easy game to win. Video room should be that entire game and hope next time pacers are in town they watch the full game to learn from it. If they learn f me
This is one of those games where the weaknesses of this team are really apparent. The main stars are three guys who played hero ball their whole career and there isn’t a single player beside them who is able or willing to take the ball out of their hands and run the offense.
When they play together they’re nearly unstoppable, but they so rarely play together. Especially in games like this where the opponents toughen up and the calls aren’t going their way. As soon as the lead got back down to single digits the game was basically over.
We need a PG who can actually control the flow of the game and get Zach and DeMar and Vooch to all move the ball. This team is the exact sort of team that fails to get anywhere, a bunch of talent that resorts to “my turn your turn” on offense and in turn are so gassed on one end they’re too slow on defense to stop drives and post play.
I’m upset we lost but for once, I don’t think Chicago underestimated the opponent. Indiana did what they were supposed to win the game. Run. Avoid the bulls defense and get at us because we just played yesterday. They were helped by us bricking so many open 3s though.
Bulls do need to work at playing through pressure though. I really wish Zach hadn’t called that timeout so soon. Easy layup and possible and-1 for Caruso and instead we turned it over.
TJ McConnell cooked us manâŠ
Zach had 4 made FGs and 6 TOs
brutal
Sick of these pathetic 3rd quarters.
All on Billy
dont let this loss distract you from the fact that demar was fucking great tonight
