    Deebo hit the game winner, but Zach is my MVP tonight!

    Merry Christmas y’all!!

  9. Deebostan

    The Chicago Bulls remain undefeated after the locker room meltdown 😤😤😤

  13. GGEORGE2

    Incredible win. Three in a row since calling out Zach on his bullshit. LETS GOOOO!

  14. Reddit--Sucks

    Just need a lucky game winner every game and we’re championship contenders!

  15. X-Inqu

    KING OF THE 4TH

    LETS KEEP IT GOING, BULLS NATION!

  16. -Shooter_McGavin-

    And to think they called us depressing, I’m hype Neil Funk

  17. thesch

    There was a genius Knicks fan in /r/nba who rushed to post a thread of RJ Barrett’s statline “in a win over the Bulls” when it was a 1 point game with 6 seconds left. When I saw that I knew the Bulls were going to win.

  18. Rthecity

    Demar has to be one of the most clutch players to ever put a Bulls uniform on.

  21. HGIGIU

    We were down and I lost connection so idek how tf we won but fuck it WE STREAKIN TONIGHT 😤😤😤

  24. alba7or

    Hey RJ Barrett, that’s a nice 44 pts game you got there… would be a shame if something happened to it 😉

  25. SirJesko

    3 clutch games, 3 dubs. How about that 😎

  28. ducksonaroof

    Great team win. I could nitpick (DeMar getting hunted on D, the dubious effectiveness of the double C lineup). But they did it – TOGETHER!

  30. Secondary92

    Zero turnovers for Demar and Zach, and better decision making all round tonight. Need more of that moving forward if this team is going to push for the playoffs.

  31. IceTeaBandito

    Bulls are starting to put it together, and they face the Rockets in three days, could easily extend the win streak to four games.

    BING BONG

    Takeaways from tonight’s game:

    * Demar honestly played really fucking good defense tonight. He also facilitated incredibly well (10 assists: 0 TO’s as I’m writing this. He had an pretty mid shooting night and got to the line fairly well with how few calls we were getting. Barrett hitting him in the jaw while trying to draw a stupid foul should’ve been a flagrant. The shot at the end was fucking lethal. The crazy FT at the end was a little bizarre, but he got the job done.
    * Zach shot the ball well as a whole played really solid defense after a very rough start to the game on that end. Legitimate scoring threat from everywhere on the court.
    Not a lot else more to say.
    * Vucevic was a very good offensive player tonight and made the other team respect him at the 3 point line. Wasn’t a great defensive night, but it wasn’t terrible. Rebounding was the biggest issue for us tonight and I do feel like that falls on Vucevic in some part. The weird communication between him and Zach fighting for boards definitely gave away points we didn’t have to give up tonight.
    * Pat honestly played Randle tight as hell on defense. Didn’t finish well tonight, but also rebounded and passed well.
    * Ayo honestly was hustling. Got a little overzealous and had a couple fouls, but it’s the best he’s looked in a while.
    * Coby didn’t have the all-around great night that I’ve expected recently, but he shot the ball well and was putting in the effort on defense…just didn’t have the results to show for it.
    * I start writing these with about 2 minutes left so we’re down 2. Regardless of how this game ends, we played very good defense as a team tonight and I’m proud of the boys. The Knicks made some tough ass shots. If we didn’t get absolutely slayed on rebounds tonight, this game was free, even with Barrett having the game of his career.

    MVP’s for tonight: Demar DeRozan and Zach LaVine with and HM going to Vucevic.

  34. AnnoyingTurtlez

    This team is aging severely aging me with every game. Bulls win

  38. allknowerofknowing

    That’s what we need:

    Big 3 all with 20+. Demar with 10 assists. And Zach with 30+.

    Zach is back to form and our big 3 finally is playing well together.

    (rebounding and barrett going off was 🤮🤮 tho)

  39. Fafoah

    Demar’s 10 assists were the engine that kept the Big three competing and in rhythm. We need that esp with Lonzo out. That’s the key for us going forward

    Zach also great decision making down the line. That drive won us the game and tbh you couldnt blame him for taking a 3 when he was shooting well. Love to see it

  41. OhiOstas

    *clears throat*… COMPTON IS IN THE HOUSE & OH BTW SOMETIMES I DREAM, THAT HE IS ME, THAT I CAN BE LIKE ZACH
