I'm with Will. Hold everyone out. Tell them it's to rest for the play in because we are locked into 10. Lose every game we can, and if we do magically fall out of the play in, even better.
Playing against the resting Bucks, tanking Mavs, and tanking Pistons is a strange time to be advocating increasing our Top-4 chances from 7% to 13%. The tanking-odds ship sailed away thanks to the "Pat Bev Effect" i.e. "semi-legit PG Effect". IMO the real reason we should be advocating losing down the stretch is so that in the offseason, AKME has zero room to spin a robot yarn about a playoff quality team that was a couple unlucky bounces from the 1st Round. AKME's seat needs to be on fire due to the gross incompetence on display the last season and a half, a performance rivaling the worst of the GarPax years
Will was right. DeMar has looked sorely in need of rest ever since his injury, and Zach is shooting 1 leg jumpers reminiscent of his knee injuries. This team isn't going anywhere and the two best players look completely out of sorts.
Looking forward to Bobby Portis dropping 20 and 10 lol. Each time I watch the Bulls play the Bucks it's like two teams playing different sports. I do think the Bulls have a decent chance to win without Giannis and have to hope that Boston and Washington win tonight
I'm just confused on what they're even playing for. Yesterday was the game to show up for and they couldn't. What should I expect from this team for the remainder of the season?
I'm stunned at how bad he is at this. The Bulls still don't look like an NBA team with Patrick Beverley in but at least they resemble one. Bucks are completely ceding him the court up to 18 feet and his response is a lateral pass or dribble in. Bad, bad, stuff.

that's not what Will said, was my point in chiding him
and the Bulls are not "locked into 10"
also they can't fall out of the play-in, clinched that last night

As soon as I heard Giannis was out I knew we were losing.
Is it playing down to competition? Someone wanna tell the bulls they don't have levels to their game?

Five threes attempted in less than three minutes of game time. This is going to be brutal to watch
Surprised they've mounted this comeback!
Was just about to say the same. Also surprised at how aggressive Ayo's been so far. A nice surprise at that.
zach getting dominated by jevon carter again
Fully expecting Vooch to inexplicably get no touches in the 2nd half
watch him seal a guard while demar/zach spin away and go for a fadeaway
Are you from the future
Great bounceback in the 2nd quarter. They need to continue that.
when will BP forgive the bulls. I feel like he's averaging MVP numbers vs bulls
That's all you have to say? Nothing positive about the 2nd-quarter turnaround?
its 1 comment
heres another
bench always comes in, provide energy, defense, make a run. then get limited minutes in the 2nd half
Sadly, I have to agree with you on that.
Buttafingas.
Shoulda sat DeRozan and Zach tonight... cause they're playing like trash.
And since it's the fourth quarter DeMar is isoing and bricking on most of the possessions. It's infuriating to watch

Wow, crazy shot by Ayo
Bobby Portis with 22/10 and 5/7 from three... dude turns into Dirk Nowitzki against us
Dude, he's this good a lot of the time. I don't know why people are singling out "us".
averages 14pts. I think he had 16 in the 1st half
People who are not point guards:
1. Me
2. Stormy Daniels
3. Ayo Dosunmu

if Ayo is not scoring, Id rather give Dalen some minutes or green.
This game atleast Ayo has 8pts. Too many games of 0-5pts in 20+ minutes
Ooof. That is a backhanded compliment. I think me and Stormy could get at least 2 or 3 points and we didn't even play in AAU lol
I doubt it. Most of us will probably break a rib with 1 bump from drummond or brook
With laser-like precision you have correctly shot down the idea that Stormy Daniels could be our future point guard.
That's OK, Coby White is ready

When you think about it, it'll be like adding a free agent!
But he can shoot, and the Bulls aren't allowed to start guys who do that!
This is bullcrap. (No pun intended)
Why do they have to switch screens with Drummond? Just tell him try and stay with lumbering Brook Lopez. They have nobody over 6'5" to switch
Bulls hate rebounds so they make sure Drummond is on the perimeter switched on a guard
