It's been a while since da Bulls have beaten the Cavs. So Bulls should be inspired to beat the Cavs tonight at home at a time that Cavs have some players on the injured list.

I've been interested to see if the Bulls would ever play Vuc and Drummond together.

Wow, that was a Zach Lavine game right there. Zero effort on defense; no half court offense; playing down to the opponent's level. This one had it all!

Typical NBA game where the rest of the team play harder knowing their best players are out. Chicago sports fans should know better than to get too optimistic!

This season is actually still happening?

Bulls have basically become "Archer"

Still 10th. Bulls are new fully entrenched amongst the teams that can lose any given night.

I was wrong about the outcome of this game, because I didn't think Coby White would go 0-8 from the 3 point range and Derozan not sharing the basketball enough really hurt this

offense last night and could not believe why Dalen Terry got so many minutes in the game and playing both Vuch and Drummond together slowed the offense down.

Don't get me wrong, the offense during the Vooch/Drummond minutes was absolutely terrible, but the Bulls don't really have any size and Cleveland was manhandling them on the glass.

Teams that have lots of size always give the Bulls trouble. Vooch doesn't play well against teams that are physical and big, so that leaves basically just Drummond in his limited minutes. Craig is undersized but a good rebounder. Unfortunately he's out for the foreseeable future. Pat has never rebounded well.

So the Vooch/Drummond combo is obviously not good, but it probably wasn't worse than any other options Billy had.

What was actually worse was when Cleveland put Allen back in in the fourth when the Bulls were small (Pat was playing the 5) and Billy didn't immediately respond by putting Vooch or Drummond in. He finally put Vooch in after Cleveland had grabbed like four straight offensive rebounds.

The Bulls have been dying for the big 4/mobile 5 type of guy for three years now. It's so weird that they're not even allowed to have one of those guys on the roster

Well, AK doesn't want to admit that Pat isn't the best PF in the league. And Vooch is so mentally fragile that AK and Billy are probably afraid he'd think he's being undermined by having a mobile big on the roster.

I'm pretty sure that Billy would sit Vuc and/or Pat the moment he had that option. Which is probably why he isn't given it.

Bulls should just trade Lavine and Vuchevic for assets cus those 2 never play defense. We need players that can shoot and play good defense like those teams like Milwaukee and Boston have
