Bulls have a lot of players with half a game. Almost no one is fully two way from stars to the bench. So if someone is off they are ALL the way off (ie see the big three plus minus above). That's absolutely killer. Game last night no one was really ON which meant for many stretches literally zero functional defense or offense. In short Bulls need more talent better mix. Which is why AKME inactivity is so frustrating. They decided NOT to be a draft and develop team. But then you need to be ruthlessly transactional. Instead they are passive.

Yes.

Caruso, Ayo, and Jones were scoreless in 46 combined minutes.

How about polls, are there polls on this platform? Would be fascinated with many fan polls here, such as "ranked 1-10, how enthused are you about Play-In basketball?"

The only real positive I have, gamethreads aren't too bad here. I suppose it's not that different than the vox site (coral edition) as far as commentating goes but the site loads quickly for me both on browser and on app and I can see when new comments have been made.

Do you need to upgrade to paid to see when new comments have been made? Or is there something I don't understand and should do for this to happen for me? That's one feature I liked pre-VOX, where new comments would be in beige (with VOX that didn't work anymore, was all over the place and didn't make sense).

Fyi - the way I have it set up is I turned on app notifications on my phone. So when an article is published, a comment I made is liked, or if I get a reply I am notified in my phone app and can jump to it. Other than that you get bell notifications at the top in app and on the webpage.

This was a better commenting experience for me, except there's no quick way to view new replies. Not that the SB Nation system worked correctly anyway lmao

Yeah, sometimes it would load new ones automatically, sometimes I would have to go in and out of a post for them to load...

I'd rather play Dalen than Ayo

Would you rather sign Javonte or Ayo in the off-season to a short bench deal, given their age and context etc? Think last off-season everyone would have said Ayo, but this season, maybe not as much. Maybe best to let both of them walk

I'd still rather have Ayo, but we also need another PF...

This loss only shows how much more balanced Atlanta's team is. Heart? Not so much.

Bulls "big" three have 66 points combined, but are somehow still -10, -15, and -17 for DDR, Vooch, and Zach respectively.

in the time i have watched the game, zach has mostly done a bunch of stupid shit. and so i blame him since ddr and vuc have mostly been sharing the floor with him lol.

He was good in the first half. The only one really doing anything. His first step was explosive, blowing right by people.

Yeah I didn't see the first half. I did see a few of those moves in the 2nd half, but it seemed like he was just settling for ill advised early shot clock 3s. Not to mention the turnovers...

There's Zach in a nutshell for you. I still worry about his brain, but at least his legs look good again.

If Vuc is not involved on offense, they should use drummond instead
