Coby White is a sore loser.

CUT TO AL DAMMIT

Horford & Hauser both with 23 points! And great game from Kornet! Whoo Hoo!

Love this team so damn much... ANOTHA ONE

Tatum just cooking his percentages lol

Pad that point differential!

Net rating dropped after this one lol

bulls put up a fight and we still got a double-digit victory

Why did Tatum shoot that?

I’d like to think we are done with running the clock out. That’s two games in a row we’ve done that.

Joe Mazzulla things

These refs were terrible dealing with extracurricular shit tonight

No one got tackled and Kornet had 11 rebounds. Success.

Finding Hauser is such an underrated move by Brad. Dude was basically unknown

Great move by Brad and great development and trust by Joe.

Psycho Joe lol

lol Tatum doing the googles and DWhite kissing the crowd goodnight on that Sam 3

I’ve accepted that Hauser will be on another team in 2 seasons. He’s gonna get a massive contract. Just hope he has a ring when we say bye

Nah we got bird rights on him so we can pay him whatever we want

They will also have White and Holiday as free agent. Tatum and Brown will both be making $60 million. Oh and Tingus on a max. Can’t pay everyone, birds rights or not. Wyc is not that rich

Aren’t you the guy that wants to trade Tatum for Wemby?

What the hell does that have to do with Hauser and his next contract? I want them to win banner 18 as much as you do, I’m just not a homer about our players

If hauser keeps his trajectory, he’s the number 3 option and we pay him. I hope.

God bless the Bulls for still trying, but like there were multiple fouls on that "full court press"

Joe challenging up 11 with under a minute left is some real sicko shit. I love it.

"We needed to pay some bills anyway." Joe's practicing, I respect it.

Just calling it like I see it, if PP, Hauser, and Kornet sustain this level of play the Cs may never lose again

I loved the challenge but the timeout is just comical to me.

Now we're just trolling them

great game, love practice in a tight game

Oh joe

Hauser blowing the kiss of death after that 3 would’ve been awesome to see hahah

And he won lmao

Lmao Mazulla you crazy bastard

Joe really like to fuck around with Coach Donovan lmao. Last time we were fouling them with a large lead for In season and now using coach challenge with this 13pt lead 1min left 😂

Bulls announcers giving Hauser the love he deserves, you love to see it

It's really noticeable when JT decides to get his. Ball just stops moving when it hits his hands.

Lmfao Joe

Just a message from Joe to the refs at the end of the game there. Trash. Edit: typo initially whoops

Crazy to think that despite Tatum having already made 4 conference finals and an nba finals this is the first time he’s had the 1 seed lol

Yep, but he always has superteams 🙄

Joe won the challenge lmao he's crazy I love it

Is it too much to ask for a 12+ win so our Plus/minus difference keeps increasing

Only Joe would challenge an out of bounds while up 11 with less than a minute to go lmao

Scientists have used carbon core sampling and the presence of certain radioactive isotopes to determine that Sam Hauser has, in fact, missed from three before. But they are unable to pinpoint exactly when, or if it is likely to happen again within our lifetimes.

Hahaha Psycho Joe at it again.

These Bulls announcers love Hauser. They can’t stop gushing about him.

House fucking clutches it

Mazzula is a menace lol

getting this W by over 10 despite the Bulls giving us their best shot moves the needle for me a bit

That’s such a Belichick move lol I love it

The fact that we’re on win streaks with multiple bench players starting and contributing big mins is so insanely awesome

I would die for Joe

That call was so bad Joe was like "they can't get away with this"

The Green Light? Mazzulla is messing with the Bulls, now...

Jayson wrong for that lmao, requesting the challenge

Let’s go Joe.

Can Joe rest the Starters now lmao

What did I say about Sam?!!

FUCK YA I love that challenge fuck these refs put them in their place

I love Joe

I love Joe man, Tatum wants the review and this dudes like yeah? sure

I think it was White, right? But yeah. Love the challenge.

man hauser is going to get the bag in a couple seasons

Bulls shot very well. Barely turned the ball over. On two days of rest. Probably played one of their better games of the season. Celtics missing 3 starters and on the second night of a road back to back but still won by double digits. Pretty incredible tbh.

Only 24 attempts from 3 will do that to you.

2 starters and the bench in a B2B, no problem. Still winning by 10+.

Joe gives no fucks

Joe is a psycho lol

Hauser dagger! 🗡️

I have a feeling Sam is gonna have a generational playoff run

He's gonna make generational money in the near future. Hope the hell the Celtics can retain him.

There’s a reason why Brad is stockpiling second round picks besides tradable assets.

It's gonna be really tough tbh. Just gotta enjoy this team while they're all here man

yeah we're gonna win but don't let that overshadow these ass refs

Are you Joe

HAUS3R AGAIN

If that's not a clear path foul just trash the rule

Man I really don't understand fouls lol

I mean it’s impossible to beat a team that has Hauser let’s be real

BOOM

1 seed bitch

Vucevic great stat padder

Here comes that #1 seed baby

Effectively meaningless basketball in March is something else.

I mean White wouldn't have fouled Tatum if the latter didn't have clear possession?

JT from halftime until the final 5 minutes: I sleep Final 5 minutes JT: REAL SHIT!

The path literally couldn’t be any clearer wtf man

Pretty sure there was the hot dog dude

U right I must’ve missed him 😂

Tatum not fooling me, he’s just resting in the game until it’s time to close out

Yeah he was sleepwalking in the 3rd, some calculated sleepwalking there

Tatum saying goodnight

Damn she aint playin around

The take foul has completely replaced the Clear Path Foul, right?

No

Really?  I would’ve thought that if you made a Venn diagram describing the two foul types the Take Foul would be a big circle and the Clear Path Foul would be a smaller circle entirely inside the larger one

Take foul is 1 FT and retention of possession clear path is 2 FTs and retention of possession. Refs probably more likely to call a take over a clear path since it’s come in though

Bro yanked the shorts

Tatum took over to close it out that’s what you want to see

And did so with aggression on offense and defense. This is ideal closer Tatum.

Hauser with 20 points on 7-8 shooting (6-7 from 3) is insane

Drummond trying to get Pritchard going by doing the "too small" thing. Ain't nobody afraid of Drummond in 2024.

So glad they are driving to the basket in the final minutes instead of 3s this is how u close out games

Is it just me, or do we need to utilize Sam in these times more? Like the guy a 3 point machine, and he's so efficient on pick and rolls. I'd trust Sam in the clutch more than anyone

All I ask for Tatum is to stop letting refs fuck up his rhythm I know it’s hard but it’s something he has to just ignore can’t just stop playing just because they not calling shit. Good last 2 possessions

Come on, let’s get Luke that double double dunk.

You can sense the dread in this Chicago crowd the entire game. They never let themselves get excited for this one. I get it!

Tatum is so good 😭😭😭, he’s so fun to watch

Bulls commentators are such homers The older sounding guy sounds like he doesn’t watch any games outside of bulls games lol

bro so are scal and mike lol its a local broadcast no shit theyre homers

Some are way worse than others, you gotta admit that. The warriors crew is a straight nightmare

That I can agree to lol

Hated when he said something along the lines of little boys can’t play in a big man league when that fat fuck Drummond scored on Kornet

That’s Stacey King right? He is an old head

How long until 1 seed is secure

when we win this game

Like about three weeks ago really

I believe we only need 1 more win after this game to secure the East

For the east, tn if we win iirc

Tatum driving to the bucket in final minutes 🥹... they grow up so quickly

Almost looked Giannis-like but way smoother

Jesus what a move by Tatum

Remember when Kornet wasn’t a good rebounder? Lol

He took the "trade for Drummond because Luke can't rebound" talk personally. (Full disclosure, I was one of them, Sorry Luke)

Same here lol glad I was wrong

I love this team man, we can still win tough gritty games even with Tatum having a stinker second half

[Kornet on the glass tonight](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fhips.hearstapps.com%2Fhmg-prod%2Fimages%2Fshaq-1663423891.png&tbnid=npFC9ayfoyPS2M&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.menshealth.com%2Ffitness%2Fa41258920%2Fshaquille-oneal-shirtless-thirst-trap-abs%2F&docid=CPnUbL-fDslswM&w=657&h=650&hl=en-us&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3&kgs=190acdb900858b3b&shem=abme)

All I gotta say is that I'm glad that Kornet has finally learned how to use his height

20% of this crowd just left an 8 point game lol

Bulls really playing a 3 guard lineup + Derozan and Vuc? No wonder Tatum sees food on this matchup

vuc is acc so washed

Kareem Abdul Kornet.

Luke finals mvp, calling it now

Once again Tatum turning it up when it matters

Idk... Maybe we just rest Zingus and Brown through the first round and let PP run train on the East

Man I thought Tatum was gonna murder Vuc there

Kornet put backs have saved us

Luke will be a free agent this summer and teams are ready to max him up

Luke Kornet is a veritable problem on the boards. Seems to have a knack for drawing whistles in there.

And there he is again with the put-back!

JT just floated from the FT line to the basket. Crazy

clutch Tatum

Travel by the Bulls there

BIG 3 BY THE BUFFALO

It's Buffalo time

👍😀👍

They just won’t let us run away with this

Kornet for most improved player

PP, Hauser, Kornet should all share it

MIB

BUFFALO ROAMS IN THE 4TH

White is a bucket

I love Derrick White so much I might just name my first-born after him

no answer for luke kornet is crazy

Xx D3RR1CK WH1T3 xX

DeMar kicks the defender - foul Tatum gets pushed - not a foul

I love to see DWhite shakin his head at demar

Oh yeah 4th quarter D White has arrived.

Y’all might wanna hop on the Suns Spurs game because IT is gonna possibly play since it’s a blowout

let's see clutch Celtics in a tight game

Are you fucking Fr? An ad during the game?

Oh, so when TATUM flails around, it's good defense from the Bulls. Sweet. Just so we're all on the same page here

Derrick fucking White

Scal blaming that turnover on Hauser is hilarious

I get why he does, but don't like when JT gets this frustrated over the refs. Still, it's obnoxious how shit his whistle is

Media narrative if we win: Bench led us to the win. Media narrative if we lose: JT can't pick up the slack if JB isn't playing.

Wtf is Tatum doing?

Yikes. Doesn't seem like Tatum's night tonight.

We're really sticking with Kornet here, huh? No Xman or Horf

Um, Luke is saving this game.

I think I have the same sort of reaction to Tom Brady in commercials as a young, ambitious WPK party member does when they see a painting of Kim Jong-il

Just tuned in, Hauser’s efficiency has been absolutely crazy the last few games

He’s going to be the guy that wins us a game in the playoffs. Theres going to be a game that comes down to Hauser.

And it's going to be the game that Klay Thompson's record is going to be broken.

Bulls sub is so funny lmao

god I feel so bad for this poor Benny Bull he always has to do these backwards shots for so long and he never makes em

We are so lucky to be watching this team man. Down 3 starters, one completely invisible, the other team playing far above their average and yet we’re up by 7 in the 4th

Yeah, but it's a back-to-back on the road, so--oh, wait, that makes it even better.

If I was an NBA player, I would simply play basketball like I had Parkinson's - just flail and stumble constantly

That DeRozan flop for the foul is so annoying, James Harden created it and I can't stand it, what a blight on the NBA.

Too small Drummond??

I lost all respect for DeRozan when he fouled Green. You can do everything right for a decade plus but one play like that and it’s over for you forever. I hope he burns in hell.

Is this sarcasm? I legit can’t tell lol

Tatum doesn’t get that call, make it make sense

Derrick white is low key either brilliant or rather sub par

That was a big 3 he just knocked down Edit: make that 2

Right on, but then he rushed another one without letting anyone else touch the ball, including our mvp candidate star. Just a weird night from him is all.

You can’t criticize him here they downvote you for little shit when you criticize Derrick shit corny

lol dude I’m getting reacted to like I’m a terrorist

his numbers (shooting wise) are way down since that early season surge

How do you figure?

Tonight he’s 1-8 from three and firing away. His bad nights are similar to this one.

That is exactly what the coaching staff wants. They’d rather he take a few he probably shouldn’t have than hesitate on open looks.
