Wins on the season two of those wins two of them come against our very own Chicago Bulls in this game today Pat I just want I just want to go over this real quick the bulls the bulls scored 95 points in this game right yeah 70 of those points

Came from three players Demar and V with 25 drum with 20 that means that out of those those three players other than those three players six other players checked into this game those six other players only could combin for 25 points Y and two of them didn’t score at

All I mean how you want me to attack this do like what stat do you want me to give you on why this is a horrible the only stat that I want from you is where does this rank on the suck meter that’s that’s all I care like what the suck

Meter is crazy I didn’t say the blow meter I said the sucker he listen it’s it’s a dual action activity it’s options for both that was crazy um I don’t know because I this is a gut punch but does this feel like the worst loss of the

Year I don’t know if this feels like the worst that both Boston losses like they feel worse than this yeah I I don’t know if this is the worst loss of the year but but this is a this is the loss that mathematically you shouldn’t have lost

You lost once again losing to a dude whose name that nobody knows until he plays you shout out to my uh you got to be Italian f f f fanto f i don’t even know how to say his name I don’t know but he literally goes five for nine from the three-point line

They put I on him and IO couldn’t do nothing with dude f fetto fantano f whatever it is you should know this whatever man listen nobody knew he was in the NBA before this game somebody knew he’s averaging almost n almost 10 points per game and look 11 other people

Knew he was in the league before this game started and every one of them play on his team like stop like d there’s there’s there’s nothing to say about this loss that makes any bit of sense you got beat I mean listen defensively you failed to crack a 100

Points versus the NBA’s worst defensive team based on their defensive rating you allowed a team to rain threes on your head for the team that takes the least amount of three-pointers in the entire NBA they’re worse at shooting the three ball than you are and you literally let them do

Everything you want to know how bad this loss realistically is there’s nothing good about the Pistons there’s no stat when you go through their stats that you feel like hey maybe these guys are better than we think they’re 27th in uh uh scoring on the season they are uh

29th in turnovers they are 26th in Block shots they are 30th in steals they are uh uh third 20 or uh 30th in uh 3o percent oh no 22nd in three-point percentage 28th in threo attempt like do like what what number do you want that tells you how bad the Detroit

Pistons are and you know what the worst part about all of it is is it just looks like the Bulls got into a point in that second half where they literally just went hey we ain’t got it tonight we got the we ex and I said that over on

Central when I was doing my live stream it literally got to a point in this game where it felt like the Bulls said hey we got we got the Cavs tomorrow we’ll get them tomorrow it it’s like I mean they they absolutely got dominated the entire

Second half you get outscored 55 to 40 um I I guess all the momentum based on whatever that New Orleans win that you thought was a tough win was going to to build for you that that’s all out of the window like there’s no way there there’s no nothing about this game especially

About that second half that feels like you have a team that you should have kept together I’m sorry like this wasn’t even competitive you had a team that didn’t even want to compete and Billy Donovan talked about it after the game and listen y’all know my issues with Billy Donovan but

He he he talked about how you have to control the things that you can control some nice the three ball don’t fall two for 29 is crazy it’s insane it’s it’s really hard to shoot that bad from the three-point line like it’s really difficult like people stumble into like

Shots they thought were mid-range and they both feet ended up behind the line and they were able to knock down a three ball it’s really difficult to be that bad but you didn’t control the things that you could control in the second half Chicago Bulls basically just gave

Up on trying to rebound the basketball at all defensively um I mean you you you allowed so many Second Chance opportunities um you you didn’t box out well the entire second half uh you weren’t running the court at all like this is a this is one very rarely do I

Do that stupid Russell Westbrook uh did you guys win this game did you guys lose this game or did they win it we lost it we 100% lost it the Bulls came out in the second half and looked like they were done playing basketball and I’ll be

Honest with you look like they were done for the season like I don’t know what the rest of this trip is going to bring but it looked like they were like it’s not going to get better from here boys I mean [ __ ] trip we’re at home like that’s

The that’s the worst part of all this like yeah it’s true I the performance from the Bulls tonight outside of that the first two quarters where it looked cool literally it’s like they it’s like somebody came into the locker room at halftime was like so you boys are losing

Theight they 19 they they did the black socks on them bro bro I like I I don’t know man like it’s it this game was so frustrating bro for so many different different reasons and when you have a team that has won now nine games on the season and you get

Outworked on the boards you get outworked defensively you get out coached you just have to look at it and say what were you really selling us on when you came out here and told us that you were going to be competitive the only thing that the Detroit Pistons are

Competing for are is the the pingpong balls to get the number one overall pick and they came out here and acted like they wanted it more than we did and by the way one of these two teams play a back to back and it’s not the Chicago Bulls I there’s there’s there’s no

Excuse for this game yes it’s going to be a bounceback game tomorrow maybe the Bulls can go out there and finally get a win versus the Cavs maybe they said we’d rather beat the Cavs than beat the Pistons but the Bulls aren’t in a position to take anybody lightly and the

Problem with me is they come into every single game and and listen they’re vastly short-handed maybe it’s finally just playing out right maybe the New Orleans game was fo’s gold and the Bulls are too short-handed to to compete at all in the second half of this season where you struggle against the Pistons

Team like this you also ended up losing Alice Caruso in that second half where you were making he he came back a kind of a he came back in just because he’s AC like I was watching I was like okay like they were like he’s uh questionable

To return and he was out there 10 minutes later I was like he’s not he’s he’s done like he’s just out there because he knows if he’s not out there nobody’s going to give any effort and they’re about to lose a game to the Pistons like this is this is I guess if

We’re ranking it on losses that suck this year this is top five because we didn’t know the first Pistons loss wasn’t as bad because we didn’t know the Pistons were going to be this bad didn’t they win like their first two games or something they won like their first game

And then they won a game versus us I don’t I we played them within the first five games of the season and literally right after us is when they lost 18 games in a row yeah like lit legitimately this is this is way way worse like I I don’t know man

Like I don’t know what to say about this Bulls team anymore and that’s that’s the problem because what it’s like we were talking about before the uh we started the Pod what can we say different about them what’s the different story what’s the different reason we can give we’ve

Been given the same reasons for three years now yeah we suck that’s it that’s the reason um and next up we’re going to talk about one of those reasons why we suck where we said we’re on the wrong side of History his yet again as Chicago

From the three-point line today two we made two three-pointers and for the largest part of the game we were one vot made that one for for a large part of the game until uh you know who hit the who hit the other one oh dalen Terry

That’s how bad of a night it is that dalen Terry was your second leading three-point shooter it wasn’t good I mean listen I I’ve said this the entire season I I’ll continue to say it the Bulls Can’t Win It MAF I’m sorry you you had no hope in

Winning this game the second that you got down 14 or the second the Pistons knocked down 14 for 37 14 for 37 they’re one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the NBA they outscored us from the three-point line by 30 points keep in mind we only

Lost by 10 again as Pat has kept saying simple math this is the second worst three-point shooting percentage for 25 or more attempts in NBA history pack 069 is what the Chicago Bulls shot tonight I’m not even giving them the 70 0.070 know you got you shot

0.069 this is this is and here’s here’s the part that sucks right yes I dumu Kobe white off night uh uh Alice Cru also off night and ended up doing dealing with some injury as well but was there anything about this game that felt vastly different from

What we’ve seen the Chicago Bulls do three-point shooting wise yes it’s much worse but underperform forming from the three-point line is what the Bulls have done for three years now they don’t prioritize the three-point line they don’t prioritize shooting I get it like Peter Patton is here to sha to change

Our our um what what did they keep saying our shot a shot pattern or a shot whatever it was that that they kept saying it was all you know basically how the Bulls go about attacking the three-point line how often they take the threes how often it’s not

Working I don’t know what you got and you want to know why because don’t have players that think shoot that’s what’s missing yeah you need players that think shoot I get it when everybody was talking about Joe Harris I’d rather see a younger player in there than Joe Harris you know what

Joe Harris thinks Joe Harris over with uh who you sign with the Knicks right is he over there with the Knicks I think um the ball touches his hand it’s going up he ain’t thinking about it is that you said the ball touches his hand goes up I’m sorry that’s a b going

Up I said it’s going up exactly the ball touches his hand it’s going up think about it I mean I get you but that I feel like we stretching on that one that might be I might challenge that we need to challenge flash that one that was crazy I’ll let me know

Chad was that ack what was that it’s it’s the locked on hoodie okay all right no don’t put that on it’s got Packers colors on it exactly well I mean it doesn’t matter we lost anyway true but no I I just uh like I don’t know man

Like I literally I look at this team and and you just don’t have players Javon Carter is supposed to be that guy right that’s what he was supposed to come in here as um who that’s just a nightmare every time you you watch him do anything

On the court BR bro I don’t care what they have to do I don’t care if they have to attach two future second round picks get him off the team just go just get him off the team bro one of the worst seasons I’ve ever seen from a

Player that’s signed here with some potential bro um but you look at his how even how he shoots the basketball pump fake side step pull up maybe or a drive right like you just you don’t have enough guys where the second that they they get the ball in their hand they

Think I have to shoot the ball there’s too many guys on this team that think I have to get to the rim and when you have that M when you have an outof balance ratio like that that’s how you get Knights like this and yes this is a much

Worst night than we’ve ever seen from almost any other who’s the worst team there’s got there’s we’re the second worst who’s the worst ah I have to look that up give me one second keep talking like that like the fact that you’re second worst is bad but the fact that there’s somebody worse

Is crazy um worse is crazy but I I just this doesn’t feel different to me though this doesn’t feel like this is something that the Bulls could change by just knocking down you don’t have guys that can do it you just don’t you don’t have guys

That can do it how many times I mean this is the same conversation we have and this is exactly what I talked about last night when or uh was it two nights ago when we played New Orleans and I was like that was a good win but it’s not a

Good win if somebody comes out and they shoot the ball better agreed so the worst was the Boston Celtics in 2014 they shot the ball 4% from three-point line that’s impressive bro that’s how many H how many did they shoot 25 dang so we’re worse well well they well no we

Have a better percentage but we made we went they went one for 25 yes yeah we went two for 29 so I guess technically we’re better but it doesn’t feel better that’s crazy now here’s the thing I’m going to throw to you I talked about

This a little bit on Central um so what how do you view it with Billy Donovan looking at Javon Carter who ends up going 0 for four or any other player and sees that we’re clearly getting getting killed from three-point line and doesn’t at least try to use Henry Dr erop bam

Considering their three-point shooting uh consistency Billy’s who Billy is Billy’s going to put vets in Billy’s not gonna put young pieces in unless he has no other choice when he played Julian Phillips when he played Julian Phillips more minutes it was because there were too many injuries to not keep him on the

Bench more um when when he played Adam Sago it was the end of the game we were just getting dog walk you know I mean like there’s Billy Donovan’s not gonna the reason IO got in and I love I and I was getting some run but for the most part the

Reason IO got in was because there were unexpected injuries to the team the the reason that Patrick Williams got in is because he was a fourth overall pick you just literally couldn’t justify not playing that guy when you drafted him fourth overall well that was also the evaluation season right like that

Was the season where we still had Wendell and everybody to start that season off um I don’t know bro I like this was so bad right like I said this I can’t remember we have to go back and look at all the history we’ve made this season but for a team that we’ve

Had two issues literally since Demar Rosen and everybody joined this team three-point shooting and rim protection yeah the same the same problems for three years in a row and I and I would debate with you this isn’t even the worst side of history that we’ve been on

Because this makes sense for the team that we have yeah like you think about it you have the Golden State Warriors and they have a bad shooting night they’re probably shooting 30% yeah that’s a bad shooting night why they took 45 three-pointers and made 15 of

Yeah I mean like like that’s that’s why that’s a bad night like the the math for the Bulls like a bad night is like hey we we fell off a cliff like this team is not an NBA team tonight the windy city Bulls were on the court tonight that’s

What we watched out no because W you see the Bulls make three-pointers at a decent percentage how many do they take maybe this is systemic maybe this goes all the way down to the bottom like that’s a good question I got to figure that out how many three-pointers are they taking

We got to figure that out on the other side man but first I do got to tell you guys all about eBay Motors listen here’s the thing when you’re talking about passion when you’re talking about drive when you’re talking about patience all the things the Chicago Bulls don’t have

Like black forces don’t you you got on black forces right now I mean no I’m in the house bro I ain’t got on no shoes I do got on black slides though so I mean they made from the same material Um but with p with that said man Kobe white has had a struggle here uh recently over the last three games he’s averaging 15.3 points per game 4.7 rebounds 4.3 assists but the key thing here the matches that we looking at he’s shooting the ball from the field over these last 23 games

25.8% which is far down from from the almost 50% he was shooting at at one point in time what you about to say I said oh yeah okay and so it it’s it’s a it’s a big concern that he’s also shooting the ball 22% from three-point range Kobe white

Has not been efficient he’s not been effective he hasn’t had that same ump How concerned are you about between the minutes like I I’m not trying to make it seem like Kobe white sucks all of a sudden but between the minutes that he’s played which is the most second most in

The NBA to to Demar the fact that teams are guarding him differently now they’re game planning for him and just the exhaustion level of everything else going on how concerned are you about the rest of the season for Kobe white I don’t know if I’m concerned about it

Because I think Shooters just go through slumps right like the everybody goes through a tough stretch shooting the basketball Kobe’s had a couple of ups and downs this season but he’s always ended up back on the right side shooting the basketball right like it and the one

Thing that I thought was you know maybe contribued to it like you said he’s second in the NBA in minutes right now kobby actually was asked about that after the game and he basically came out he said the minutes ain’t catching up I just got to hit shots um I I think that

That’s what he’s supposed to say you know I I think that that’s what people want him to say um and that’s the politically correct uh answer but the shot looks short the shot looks short the Deep shots that he was hitting early in the season he’s not hitting we’ve

We’ve ramped up Kobe White’s kind of going through another sophomore season now he’s not right because he’s played in the NBA longer but right like we changed his role dramatically this year and yes he like minutes Wise It’s no minutes wise is turning into a crazy difference but I guess like minutes per

Game wise right Kobe was still playing a good chunk of minutes per game but playing minutes per game and being asked to do something in every single minute of that game is a very different role to have right and so I I wonder if maybe right the the amount of time that he’s

Playing is catching up with him I wonder if you know the shot just looks a little shorter the legs don’t look as good defensively he’s not looking as good in this time out there right there’s just there’s too much going to it but I don’t know if I’m concerned by it because I

Think it’s just the fact that maybe for this season it doesn’t end well maybe he doesn’t end up winning most improve player whatever it is but he does have to get used to having this role again on this team and he hasn’t had this role since his rookie

Year I mean even then he still had Zack and L even though lari was in and out of the lineup like this is one of the first Seasons that for this long in the season as well that he is that he’s uh being relied on to be such a lynchpin and what

The Bulls are doing so that definitely plays a part into it and the human element I definitely see that and I think Kobe white he’s gonna work on his conditioning I definitely think that’s something he clearly is GNA have to do is is get that conditioning under gear

Because going into next season he’s probably G to be relied on even more so um I’m not too overly worried about it I just think that he he he has things that that he can do and I think he’s going to get another we know Kobe White’s one of

The hardest workers on the Chicago Bulls team so him getting an opportunity to kind of focus on that this offseason I think is going to be really big for him also um but yeah this is probably gonna be a tough goal for Kobe the rest of the

Season there’s also just not a lot of help you know I mean like when when the when the offense becomes hey bud it’s you it’s not as easy as everybody thinks you know what I mean like yeah you get all the shots you get all the looks but

But you have to maintain your confidence through that we saw Kobe white lose his confidence tonight I think at what he was two for 12 had a wideopen three-pointer and like just drove it into a contested mid-range shot right like you you gotta the the one credit

That I’ll give Zack LaVine is when he was the only player on a bad team and everybody’s always like well you’re the only player on a bad team uh you know people you get to get all the points and stuff it’s like yeah but now everybody’s

Focusing on you and you have to have the mindset of like hey if I’m struggling it doesn’t matter because I’m the only offense that this and I that this team is going to have and I think that’s the mindset I’m waiting for Kobe to really unlock it’s not about him

Taking bad shots but him maintaining I felt like again the second half of this game the aggressiveness of Kobe white just disappeared like you can’t you can’t have moments where you stop being aggressive because you being aggressive opens up things for other people I I love what he’s developed into

As a leader I love what he’s developed into as a player but the last I don’t know couple games before the All-Star break and just about every game since the All-Star break we’ve had too many of those moments where it’s almost felt maybe a little bit Zack LaVine like

Right where Zach would be like I’m gonna let everybody else get theirs and then I’ll get mine in the third quarter I don’t need that I need you to go I need you to be on go every minute I watch Anthony Edwards He’s on go he’s not

Taking his time and he’s like oh I’m the leader I’m gonna get my shots and we everybody else feed off of me that’s the next step to me for Kobe white and you do need to be not tired to do that I think playing 40 minutes a night pretty much is going

To contribute to that yeah let’s see what he can do let’s see what he can do any last thoughts Pat before we get up out of here brother um blame uh who we want to blame tonight for the music not playing there’s blame Javon Carter that’s pretty good bet every you know

What you need to do we need to develop also music to play on losing nights oh we got that okay well there you go go ahead and Nation follow us on everything at path the designer you can follow me on everything or you can follow me on everything at path designer follow us
