Had to make it interesting at the end
WLLWWLLWWLLWLLLLWWLWLLLWWLLLLWWWLWWLLWWWLLLWWWLLWLWWULLS
MVP: dalen terry
Yay! We won!
Oh no! Our Portland pick!
Couldn’t have been a more bulls game if we tried. SMH this team has such highs and lows.
I just…I mean….what is this team?
Most impressive win in a while. Thought forsure they pissed that one away again
good win let’s goo – huge 22-4 run or whatever in like **5 minutes** to turn the game back our way
How did the bulls win??
Who wants to blow this up go do it on 2k 😁
Gotta get some W’s in the rough stretch coming up and spurs is a must win imo
Wait…what…we made an adjustment? Huh?
I have that cavs game circled
It’s nice that we reined Dame back to earth.
Good win! Nice to see Drummond get some minutes. Maybe the sweet spot is somewhere around that ~12 min mark.
Nice to see DT get a bit of a run too, good hustle!
Ayyy a win, but damn I wish we had Lillard. hes always been one of my favorites
Every win we have feels like a big win and every loss we have feels like a crushing defeat.
4th quarter was not a pain to watch like some of the previous iso ball 4th’s.. definitely better this game! They should keep it up!
It was like shades of that third quarter against the cavs in the second but at least we pulled through this time.
Takeaways from tonight’s game:
* Deebo had an efficient offensive night, facilitated well, rebounded solidly, and was solid as hell on defense. Just a super solid day as a whole.
* LaVine shot the everliving shit out of the ball in the first half, had a rough stretch with turnovers, and then led a super big run that was instrumental in bringing this game back for us. He showed very good awareness of the bonus in the 3rd/4th quarter. Great game as a whole.
* Vucevic had an efficient double/double. He was working on defense in the 4th quarter when they doubled Lillard.
* Pat had a rough game as a whole. Big highs, big lows on both sides of the ball. In the 4th he grabbed some big rebounds and battled down low for a bucket. He did have the dunk of the night.
* Ayo was super solid tonight. If he proves he can actually knock down these open 3’s, it will be a massive boost to our offense.
* Bench was solid with Coby and Drummond both having pretty good nights as a whole. Drummond was a big presence when he was on the floor…much larger than the statline implies.
* Good win as a whole. Still some TO issues, but we battled back and took it home.
MVP’s for tonight:
Zach LaVine and Ayo Dosunmu with HM’s going to DeRozan and Vucevic
Feels like Dame always loses when he has a 40 or more point game.
Ayo was an absolute dog on Lillard (I think most of his points were when guarded by someone else) and his newfound confidence on offense is very welcome. Shoutout Zach for being a total baller tonight too. Those guys having huge pluses tonight in +/- is not a coincidence.
Tough next few games so we’ll be .500 at the break fosho
Need 3rd quarter Ayo more. Played much better 2nd half defense on Lillard. Need him to give the team 10-15 pts a game.
Watch out NBA, Zach decided to play defense. +27 this game.
Our big 3 actually played like a big 3.
Looks like we just need to go down double digits in the first half instead of up double digits. Alright alright alright
I think I found the best comment on the Chicago Bulls Facebook post about the win:
>The Bulls don’t win this game with anyone coaching other than Billy Donovan. Billy, like most great coaches, made excellent halftime adjustments and challenged his teams heart and grit. Bulls fans should continue to thank Bulls management and Jerry Reinsdorf for hiring the future Hall Of Fame coach
Coby should take more than 5 shots
I feel comfortable after winning tonight that the Trailblazers are a great team. Really even just *one* move away from a shot at winning the West.
I trust that their wonderful GM Niel Oshley, realizes such and is prepared to do what’s necessary to take this core to It’s fullest potential.
All they need to do is release protections on their 2023 1st round pick^(^(^(*owed to the Chicago Bulls*))) and gain the flexibility they need.
This team makes me feel like every win is a lie meant to trick you into thinking its turned around.
When Ayo plays well. It makes them sooo much better.
man we should be atleast 6 or 5 seed
ayo getting his jump shot back is basically is like games with Lonzo back.
Ayo and pat are finding themselves. The success of our team depends on them.
second half clamps
Zach loves the fuck you 3.
We all know his faults right? BUT he brings firepower. Any given night he can get you 30. Is that worth the max? The Bulls thought so.
If players can step up and contribute, we can start stacking wins.
Anyone have the clip of Drummond winking at the camera after getting fouled and falling?
In a poor man’s big 3, Ayo is Rajon Rondo.
Couldn’t watch but damn Zach +27? Demar -4?
LaVine > Lillard
I didn’t watch this game but it looks like the bulls shot 60% from the field and I feel like that has to be a record
