Which is funny (if you are talking about Moore) that a lot of people probably don't realize this is his 4th Yeah in the league. He's had some bad situations personel wise around him but has always been solid in his minutes. Kid was definitely feeling it tonight.

Crazy stat. It's the Bulls first win vs the Thunder since 2010. We have beaten every other team in the NBA at least twice in this span.

The play was designed to go inside to Pau and OKC played it pretty well, but the veteran Pau made the crucial pass while being mid air to hit Moore for the shot.

I agree about the Management building a deep team, but, imo, Thib's is only using the depth cuz we're so injured unfortunately. Hopefully, Thib's is learning that he can trust his bench, however.

Give Moore all of Kirk's minutes. Though yay for Kirk shooting above 40% this game.

Man, I can watch that over and over again. What a game. Loved seeing Niko raising his arms to the fans after the shot, and the celebrations by Niko and Pau with Moore as well. Looked like Moore was foulded by Westbrook on the shot too.

Man that was an awesome game. Great to see Moore hit a big 3 to win the game for the Bulls, hopefully Thibs now gives him more PT than Hinrich. When I watched him play in his days with Purdue I never imagined he would be playing for the Bulls. El Niko hit some big shots even though he was cold from 3 point range before the 4th quarter.
BTW Gasol recorded his 40th double-double of the season (Leads the NBA).

Moore deserves to play at least 24 minutes against Indiana after that.

Well if it's one thing he knows how to do its play against Indiana... Wait not that Indiana? He plays point. You could start him.

Oh OK, I just wanted to make sure knowing how you feel about Pau.
I call things like I see them, good and bad. I am not going to get into nit picks on this game.

This is not a deep team. Moore had a career game with 9-10 shooting. Take a great win and enjoy it but this is not a deep team.

You're delusional Hawk. :smh: Our starting backcourt as well as our 6th man, and one of our best defending bigs is out with injuries, and we just beat a really good OKC team to take the 2nd seed in the East. No, we're not a deep team.

Really? So Thibs is that dumb, eh? I guess you missed those years with the bench mob? The bench was a huge weapon for the Bulls. They won games with the bench players a lot of the time. There is a freeking reason why Thibs doesn't use the bench as much this year.............. it just isn't a very good one. Thibs is a very good NBA coach and he won't put a bunch of below average players out there if he thinks that they will end up losing a game. You may think it just isn't fair but it is he who gets paid to win games not to please the guys on his bench or the fans of these guys. I think that he knows more than we do about what it takes to win in the NBA.

A deep team would have better guards and SFs than we do. Dunleavy is not a NBA starter. Hinrich doesn't belong in the NBA. We hardly play Moore and have a 2nd round pick on the bench who NEVER PLAYS. So........NO, this is not a deep team. COntrast this team and its depth to the bench mob team with Asik, Gibson and company. THAT was a deep team. That 2nd team could beat half of the teams in the NBA. THAT team played against the other team's starters and more than held their own and a lot of times increased the lead. I am over-joyed about this Bulls win and for Moore but the only guys on the 2nd unit today who are better than those guys are Mirotic and a more experienced Gibson.
