2022-2023 Bulls IGT Megathread

[Enasic]

Only started watching at the end of the 3rd but my god…refs have been a complete joke. Just a joke of a product right now

 

[menacemanic]

Terrible refs.... where are the calls

This is the type of nonsense that’ll make me stop watching. Just such nonsense officiating. It’s not even worth watching

Gotta make sure Embiid keeps his flawless record vs the Bulls

 

[clonetrooper264]

Another feels bad loss. I'm sure when the Bulls are staring down a play in spot we'll look back at losses like these last two and say "if only they could've pulled out those wins they'd have locked in a playoff appearance"

Would be nice if they could not start every game so terrible though, that would probably help

Still early and sure things could change but right now…they are who we thought they were

Frankly there's no reason to believe they would be anything other than what we thought they were thus far. I'll give them credit that they have competed in almost every game so far but they've fallen just short now 3 times and that number could be higher but thankfully they figured it out vs Boston. And sadly falling short is what Chicago teams, particularly the Bulls, like to do more often than not for the last 20 years.

I'd be happy to get 6th seed with this group but it's hard to get excited about that ceiling when it feels like it should be higher.

But like you said maybe things will change later. It's still early and so on. Heck, I would even take not imploding after the all star break to be a noted improvement from last year.

Nope.. the bulls should be 5-2 if it wasn't for terrible refs that isa fact.this is a good team but with terrible refs we look average. Fuxk this

 

[Scoot26]

Embiid strikes again.

But Demar should have gotten the call at the end.. Mind you that doesn't tie the game though. Still down 1 assuming he makes both.

They were a couple questionable calls during the game....

 

[redgrange19]

Embiid literally is the NBA Aaron Rodgers

There were about 5-7 downright horrendous calls in the 4th QTR alone that all went Philly’s way. The officiating down the stretch was pathetic

The NBA's last 2 minute report unfortunately disagrees with our assessment

One could argue that a truly good team would win regardless of officiating. And we can only truly attribute a single loss directly to a missed call. Bulls need to put together 4 quarters of basketball. So far they can only put up 3.

What about the last 12 minute report? Not sure what the point of those reports are anyway. There’s no accountability

Yeah idk what the point is, it's not like they're going to give the Bulls the win vs Washington because he got fouled in that report

I’d imagine it’s more for the refs themselves to use as a learning/corrective measure. Try to improve the officiating type of thing.

I guess they still haven’t figured out that Harden is the flop king and gets consistently bailed out. Maybe they’ll learn one day

Haha I didn’t say it was yielding much results lol

NCAA is worse but officiating isnt a full time job so unless these leagues do that. It will always be the same.

Another thing, its the human element. Certain people just dont like each other and the refs are no different with players.

I will give them this that sometimes what we believe arent fouls are by the book fouls. Thats more on the league and them catering to superstars and scoring.

Giannis and Doncic talk about its much harder to score in Europe league do to all the rules of not being in the paint and the foul calls you can get.

Also, you want to see someone get fouled a ton. Watch Zion play. Dude gets the Shaq treatment of hes bigger so they swallow the whistle.
