Nice to add another win but god damn it's painful to watch the Bulls on defense.

My thoughts exactly. Excruciating to watch a gifted offense have to hit difficult shots of offense, which they can do and McDermott was on again, Portis played great, Moore had a career type game, gasol mid range jumper was pure. We should have won this by 30 easily, with Rose going off too. But we make tough shots, then just give away points. Here, take two we will hit 15 3's today or whatever it took. We gave away that many lay ups.

Snell was never very good or possessed any confidence, but you can tell his confidence is completely shot. That sequence was hilarious...

He blew a chance for a layup/dunk because he couldn't dribble the ball....

Then he missed the kick out to Rose....

Then he missed Gasol in the post....

Then he dribbles near the top of the key where the ball gets deflected and he gets hiss pass blocked

Brutal.

You could tell he's thinking twice about everything he does. He never played a very "loose" game but he's playing super tight lately. I wonder if we could get a future 2nd round pick for him like with Kirk.

I would just cut him. He's utterly worthless and accels at absolutely nothing. Even his defense leaves much to be desired.

All he's doing is taking minutes away from others that deserve a chance to develop and prove themselves capable. He's proved himself as garbage.

Lol they can't just cut him.

I meant this offseason, obviously. No one wants him. No one would make a trade for him.

I wonder if the FO picking Snell had anything to do with them being stubborn and trying to spite Thibs. It's a pretty safe bet Thibs wanted another big man after losing Asik and Noah being banged up. Dieng and Gobert were right there for the taking. I could see garpax saying "No Thibs. We run this show. We present to you, our savior: Tony 'Bologna' Snell." All speculative of course.

Got to see most of the game last night. Bulls are very careless with the ball. I don't know if it was just last night, but the ball handling was very loose. Passes were last and not crisp. Gasol still has a pretty stroke, but he wants no part of having to bang with someone.

I mean, I doubt that's the case....but I would never underestimate the stupidity of someone that stubborn. I think both Garpax and Thibs are about as stubborn as humanly possible. It was never going to end well.

The Bulls have always been careless with the ball. They can't play fast yet under control. The Bulls can't maintain this style in the playoffs. Against better defensive teams with good offenses, we're not going to be able to outscore upper level teams. At some point, the defense is going to have to buckle down.

Probably wanted to ignore Thibs out of their own self-preservation. But we know why they picked Snell, he was the best bet out of the New Mexico connection.

Garpax has to be a laughing stock across the league.

What was it five or six years ago when the Bulls were arguably the best team in the NBA at least the east? They had a very deep and talented team. Then the bench mob was thrown out. Remember how good those guys as a unit were? They were SO FUCKING CLOSE to winning a championship and Gar/Pax pissed it away. Of course Reinny was the big reason why it all went south and really is the big fucking culprit. THEY WERE SO FUCKING CLOSE and I am totally pissed about it. Tje NBA basically gave them Derrick Rose. They had a lot of great young talent and Reinny REFUSED to spend a bit of his billions to give them a chance to dominate the league. **** Reinny and his two stooges.
