This is brutal to watch. These teams are terrible. The Bulls are some sort of alley thug you want to steer clear of but move so slow you know the cause is yours as soon as you want it bad enough.

I'm insane. The end.

 

[Crystallas]

At least that 3rd quarter closing made it an interesting game again.

 

[RoseMVP1]

Just when you're u think McDermott is going to turn the corner, he goes right back to sucking.

 

[RC_Skinny22]

I can't believe how silly that last defensive possesion was.

Against one of the worst teams ...


Denzel with a DNPCD. Why?


Time to blow this up.


Keep Butler, Gibson, Valentine & Felicio and build from there.

 

[Crystallas]

Valentine was still sick.

But yeah, lasy in the 2nd, choked at the close. It wasn't even classic Dirk that did it to us, it was bad adjustments on defense and bad assignments.

Game was an embarrassment, but hey, good job bench. Went from 30+ down to within 5.

Not sure if that was a credit to Zipser and Grant putting on a run, as much as it was Atlanta sitting their best players.

It was a bit of both. Obviously our bench scrubs went on a run against their bench scrubs, but the fact that they showed that sort of fight was just something fresh this season, even though it didn't matter.

 

[Crystallas]

Zipser lets a lot of the game come to him, a very good sign for ANY rookie, let alone someone that would be seen as a throw-away selection in the second round of most drafts.

 

[clonetrooper264]

Oh the Bulls won a game, how about that?

 

[RoseMVP1]

I know Hoiberg doesn't have the balls to do it, but I think the team would be better off if they shifted Jimmy to point and put McDermott in the starting lineup

Might as well seeing as he's benched every single PG we have at one point or another

 

[Crystallas]

I'd prefer to groom Valentine at PG. Start him at PG after a few weeks of practices with him as the PG, then when he's in trouble, keith bogans his ass(pull him after 2-8 minutes) and throw in the best suited matchup. NOW you have an arsenal and not this stupid approach of rotating frustrated(not hungry) guards that make up a quarter of the roster.

Also, Jimmy covers Wade's rest games. So everything gets goofed with Jimmy covering the point.

 

[RoseMVP1]

To bad Wades past his prime and can't do this on a nightly basis. It's been an awesome 2 man game between him and Jimmy

 

[RoseMVP1]

That's an embarrassing loss. Mirotic literally has no basketball IQ. I can't wait until he's gone

 

[clonetrooper264]

Well if you needed any more proof that this team is trash, this game proves it. Literally wasting Butler's prime away.

 

[Crystallas]

This is hilarious.

So if you're not watching the game. Wade, Butler were benched to go along with Rondo.

Zipser might make a case for Bulls MVP this year(as far as actually finding ways to compete and win games) LMAO

 

[Crystallas]

Any Bulls fan confused by which jersey to buy this year?

Who woulda thunk it.

 

[RoseMVP1]

After this, I'm done. I didn't want to give up Jimmy because he's great, but it would be better for both sides at this point. I'd fire Fred and call the Celtics tomorrow and try to get both Brooklyn picks.
