Vuc is so cooked, we need him off this team this offseason so bad
Looking more and more likely we’ll be the 10th seed
Much needed 3 day rest. I always get nervous when we start a game too well.
Once again we couldn’t hit our 3s and they couldn’t miss theirs.
City edition jerseys stay cursed.
Not great vibes for the play-in 😐
Morons on this sub will tell you we have top 4 seed potential btw
Can you imagine if we had a competent starting big?
Can’t wait for Vuc to be gone. Just zero effort on defense or contested rebounds. The offensive game disappearing is one thing, the lack of effort everywhere else is just impossible to watch
Can’t be a competing modern day NBA team without shooting the 3 well night in and night out
i dont wanna talk bout it
Why did we re-sign vuc…..
Demar is the only thing keeping this team from being the absolute worst team in the NBA. Worse than the pistons and wizards.
Fuck it tank the rest of the season and try to get Zach Edey or Donovan Clingan. I’m tired of watching vooch half assing on both ends of the court. We need to start with addressing the biggest hole on our team and that’s our Center. We will always be mid with vooch starting
I feel bad for DeMar , he’s not half – assing , he’s
pretty much given everything he’s got for this team
Okay, so the Bulls are a really thin team with injuries, and this doesn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things, but man, this game really stunk. Vuc has too many defincies as a primary center. I don’t really know what Donovan does when he calls timeouts. The Hawks are actually better without Young, who looks like a goblin.
The fun of Bulls basketball – you never know what to expect on any given night
I feel bad for DeMar and AC tonight they put so much effort in just for the rest of the team to get cooked
What are the kids saying these day’s? Unserious? That’s a perfect description of this franchise
It’s looking extremely likely we miss the playoffs entirely and I hope so at this point as it seems to be the only real hope we have of a roster shakeup. Atlanta will probably steal HCA for the play in game as we’ve got 3 games vs NY left and a game vs ORL, and even if we do beat Atlanta we aren’t beating Miami or Philly on the road. Oh well. I’m just ready for the playoffs to start cause they’re going to be amazing
I really thought Coby was out of his slump. Disappointing offensive night from him
When will the shooting profile of this team change? Fuck I want a healthy roster that can shoot 3’s. Apparently that is too much to ask.
Is there an organization to lean into modern offense less than the Bulls in the last 12-10 years?
Maybe this draft we get someone who isn’t severely underdeveloped and just gets buckets but I doubt it.
There are so many factors in why this was a loss. Vooch is a big part of it, he’s just too slow and it kills his entire game. On top of that it’s clear the only reason he gets as much PT as he does is due to his contract.
Beyond him though there are so many other issues with this team. The big one being that there is zero motion on offense most of the time. It’s a dirt simply PnR drive by Ayo or Coby or a DeMar iso. The two wing players don’t do shit during the play (proving that PWill was being told to just stand in the corner and not move) and Vooch popping out to the 3 is meaningless because the Centers never actually guard him because he’s a terrible shooter.
The Bulls were looking amazing in December and January almost entirely because they had a new game plan that was driven by cuts to the rim, passing around quickly, and shooting the open shot. As soon as Coby had an extended shooting slump all that went away. It’s like everyone panicked and went right back to the old system that never worked right.
This stagnant offense is the main reason they get shot out of the building every night. No one is ever open, and the few shooters this team has are all catch and shoot guys, not shooting off the dribble. They need to have defenses collapse and get out of position but that never happens because no one is moving except the ball handler and the screener, who is usually not a threat to score.
This is a Billy issue, but it’s almost certainly because he doesn’t force guys out of their comfort zone as players. He’s a personality manager more than a coach. His job is to get everyone to like each other and not feel like they’re being screwed over by management or each other. He’s unwilling to tell Coby that it’s tough shit that he doesn’t want to take the last shot, we need him to be the main offensive weapon late in games. He’s unwilling to pull Vooch for taking stupid threes. And he’s unwilling to tell the entire team that playing scared and just hoping DeMar will bail everyone out is stupid and they have to move and cut and play that way even if it means they have shitty nights or long slumps.
DeMar is most likely gone in 3 months and Zach is still trying to get traded. The guys out there have to learn how to play a system that might feel risky and not always pay off or else they’ll never get anywhere without some how magically drafting a super-star.
Idk if Demar scoring 25 pts plus a night is a good thing for this team…. Lol
April fools, right???
Sincere question because I don’t follow the ins and outs that much at the moment- but why is Bitims contract “on life support” like I saw KC tweet? What happened to have Terry Taylor get more minutes than him now?
Still clinched a play-in spot despite the loss.. much like the first year we clinched 6th after losing to Cavs lol
all i gotta say is : thanks AKME & Voochabitch.
We staying competitive.
Vooch was hot fucking garbage tonight.
I swear everytime I go to a game live this man lays a fucking dogshit egg. So frustrating to watch
Oh the win streak is over. Barely a play in team in reality, nothing season
