All Purpose Game Thread

[Crystallas]

There are seasons where losing records don't reflect how good many teams actually are. Seasons where lower half-seeded teams are a mere basket or two away from upsetting eventual champions.

Then you have seasons like this one, where winning records don't reflect how bad a lot of teams actually are. I can't remember the last time a season has played out where so many good teams have bad records and so many bad teams have good records to compensate for good (cowardly, sure) teams trying to rest key players or just flat out take games off/tank/higher ups playing team politics.

The ABA division era might be the last time it was this close to being so bad, but for different reasons.

And the Bulls are right back to being shit. Mirotic, again, showing his lack of basketball IQ

It's baffling that Lauvergne is playing over Felicio

Are we out of the playoffs yet?

Serious question: What good team has a bad record this year. Basketball (the NBA) in general has been hot garbage for the last ~3 years.

No, the 7 seed tight now........my God this season has been shit for the entire league.

For my taste, I began losing enthusiasm and interest in the NBA when the Big 3 formed in Miami. Boring AF since then.

And.... they win again. The road to getting swept in the first round continues.


Pacers play Atlanta one last time. Miami, Milwaukee, and the Bulls have no magic number conflicts. Bulls hold tie-breaks on Charlotte and Detroit.

Three Bulls games left.
Playoff scenario
-The Bulls need to win two to clinch without help.
-One win + one loss from Miami or two losses from either Indiana or Milwaukee.
-Zero wins + four losses from Miami.

Yay for getting swept in the 1st round

 

[Axl Rose]

Yay for getting swept in the 1st round

wouldn't have it any other way

 

[RoseMVP1]

And the Hawks rest all of their guys and still blow out the Cavs ?I guess we don't have a chance of moving up.

 

[RoseMVP1]

Since we're out of March, Mirotic goes right back to being a bum

 

[Crystallas]

Win by almost 50 points.


Seriously. WTF, and Miami won too. The Bulls **** everything up, all for that first round sweep.

 

[clonetrooper264]

Bulls can't wait for that 1st round trip to pound town

 

[RoseMVP1]

Booker, Acy, Lin, Lopez and Kilpatrick are all out tomorrow.

So we can still somehow miss the playoffs.

Booker, Acy, Lin, Lopez and Kilpatrick are all out tomorrow.

Dinwiddie still playing. They can still beat us!

 

[Briggs is GOAT]

Looks like we'll stroll into the first round
