Are the trying to lose?

 

[zack54attack]

What the hell are they doing

 

[Axl Rose]

By the skin of our nuts.

Thank you DeMar.

 

[RiDLer80]

Demar clutch in the court. They ain't gone all be pretty but that's definitely a game we lose in past years.

 

[Scoot26]

Survived that game.

 

[clonetrooper264]

Great learning experience for the team. Boneheaded plays all around but I think it'll light a fire under these guys to learn to step up in these situations and learn to play with the lead. Let's see how they fare in the next few games as the opponents get tough

 

[zack54attack]

BEEP BEEP. DRIVE HOME SAFELY!!

 

[JoJoBoxer]

Damn, that was closer than it needed to be. Lots of mistakes at the end.

Over the course of a season, those types of games are going to happen. Particularly, with a group with so many new players. They came away with the dub though, which means they can win ugly

Without question their worst defensive showing but there are a lot of ebbs and flows in an NBA season. Someone said they would lose this type of game in the past....I think that's a spot on assessment. There's more to this team this year. They won't play well every game but if they can bring that D with them regularly, they will be in a lot more games than in previous years. Take the win and learn from it.

One thing they could really use is someone who can hit the boards.

Vucevic is a liability in close games and probably shouldn't be out there. But glad they pulled the win out

Raps made their run when Vuc was on the bench and alize was playing quite a lot of minutes late…more than I thought he should have been playing at that point. Either way, if you’re going to have learning lessons, better it be from a win.

Lol

Like I said after Game 1: the Bulls of the last 4-5 seasons lose this game.

This is a team that desperately needed to learn how to win games like this. Keep building.

I have no problem with tonight's game because they needed a game like this before that road trip .

I thought what really hurt us was Caruso in the 3rd he came in we were up 20 and thats when their bench started the run that got them back in the game .Once Ball left while we were up 20 the overall sloppiness of our offensive play increased ten fold and we could never get back on track . Ball played 38 minutes tonight and was on Fleet so I was hoping to see some Ayo for a few minutes in the 3rds to let Caruso settle down because they had him rattled on both sides of the ball for a nice stretch of the 3rd and early 4th. As the backup PG you simply cant have those turnovers on the road as most teams would've yanked him .

This game will make for a excellent film session early in the season before they become road warriors .

So, this is only the first full game I've watched so far and going off of box scores here, but curious what peoples thoughts are on PWill. He's only 20 so a ton of room to develop, but he seems to be very underwhelming so far.

Hesitant.

Hasn’t really flashed much in his young career. Plays lackadaisical. Low energy. He’s still very young and can obviously improve, but hasn’t really done anything that Instills a lot of confidence. Solid spot up 3 pt shooter. Average-ish/below average defender. Weak with the ball on the drive. Solid athletically and good frame, but not overly agile or quick. I said it before, but I think he’s closer to luol deng than he is PG/Butler/Kawhi

 

[MassHavoc]

Another game they have got used to losing in the past but didn't. Rough night for vuc for obvious reasons. DeMar saved them. Zo mvp. Zach professional scorer. First time Zach has ever won 4 regular season games in a row. That's fucking bat shit. Most important thing about this game is to learn how to coexist in the press and endgame time. And move on. I think if they would have lost this one all the off-season talk about how these pieces actually fit may have creeped in, but pulling it off keeps them at bay a little longer. Hopefully long enough for them fully settled.
