This is the ugliest Bulls game I've seen all year.

Bulls playing down to Orlando's level.

Grizzlies beat the Nets
Bucks in a close one with the Pistons
Bulls have a chance to extend their eastern conference lead

Sloppy game so far.

 

[knoxville7]

Bucks down 13 with 2 min left against detroit

looks like bulls will beep beep their way to a 2 game lead in the East

 

[Diehardfan]

The officiating is as ugly as the game....

 

[zack54attack]

Bad foul

 

[zack54attack]

D’oh

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

Another nail biter

 

[zack54attack]

Beep beep.

 

[knoxville7]

2 game lead in the East now. And Miami getting beat by GS also

Kendall Gill just said exactly what I was thinking.....it was an ugly game but good teams find a way to win ugly games.

Going into today, and using the @Scoot26 theory of NBA Champions, the Bulls are 5th in offense and 12th in defense. I suspect the defense has taken a hit (as they've routinely been in the top 10) due to the Covid issues.

Maybe the worst 4th quarter I've seen from Zach and Demar this year . They are too concerned with the 4th quarter stats instead of just playing the way that has brought the most success. You know you are gonna be trapped and yet you still are overdribbling and trusting your teammates even though you are on the floor with guys who have made plays down the stretch on multiple occasions this season .

Did anyone notice Ross was red-hot until Billy put Mckinnie on him and he all but disappeared ?

A win is a win is a win. No matter how ugly the win is, it's another step closer to getting home court in the playoffs. And if that happens, anything can happen as a result.

Remember when the O/U for wins was 42 and I said 50 wins was certainly possible? They are now on pace for 59.

Defense was sitting at 8th I think before COVID and Caruso's injury hit the Bulls. I think getting everyone back from COVID, plus Caruso, will get them back into the Top 10.

At the moment (and as of yesterday as today's games aren't factored in yet), the Warriors, Suns, Jazz, Heat, and Bucks are the only teams ranked Top 10 in both O & D.

DeMar apparently stayed after the game and shot 250 free throws as he's mad at himself for missing so many lately.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Vuc had quite the defensive stat line tonight.

Team is obviously pretty tired after all the recent late game heroics

Coby White putting the team on his back, making it hard for AK and Eversley to trade him.
