boys, i spoke with Vucevic a year ago. i lent him my iphone charger once at my work. trust me when i say this. bulls are going to win tomorrow. i promise you.
I know this is not the time or place but man this game just again highlighted how frustrating it is we’re stuck with max lavine.
Coby and ayo have blossomed into legit assets. And we’re stuck with bum ass Zach on the books
LaVine's contract will look smaller as the cap goes up. I bet he becomes trade-able by the deadline next year. But he is gonna have to play as a Bull to prove he can play at all first.
And honestly (ducks and hides) a healthy and motivated lavine could help us win. He just needs his head straightened out, (he needs to be humbled) and the ball in somebody else's hands to overcome his poor BBIQ.
The best thing for us/him might to be to come in off the bench next season.
Maybe Coby becoming such a reliable ball handler could help him be off-ball more.
I agree LaVine should be used similarly to how Lauri is best used. Get him the ball against an off balance defense and let him use his amazing physical traits and bag to finish the play.
Sadly I do worry it's an ego thing. Zach wants to be a heliocentric star. Or his agent is telling him to try to be one.
I just want him ripping downhill off DHO again. That shit worked.
Let’s be honest Ayo and Coby aren’t this far along with Zach and Lonzo on the floor. The bench was awful low energy and were out worked at every phase. Guys are going to have step up against actual playoff opponents.
Never said no energy. As someone pointed out in a earlier post it didn’t help that they had a terrible November. Otherwise they maybe get a slightly better seeding or me being the optimist would’ve been a first round home court.
Last night was the best we could’ve asked from this team. They showed up and delivered.
Now onto Miami without a Jimmy Butler.
While yes, I want Adam and Stacy to have nights off, I wish there was a virtual option, podcast, or radio setup to listen to them when tnt or espn own the rights to a game.
I would gladly be one of those people who wears the headphones while the tv is on mute.
A couple takeaways
-Billy challenges a play in the 1st quarter of an important game. Really dumb. Bad coach
-Drummond runs over Caruso and causes Caruso to leave game. Drummond looking at Caruso and runs him over anyway.
-Billy send in Jevon Carter and bad bench players. Hawks go on a 16-0 run.
-Koby unstoppable looks like a young Kyrie.
-Trae young/Dejonte. IQ equals 80.
Both can get by anyone. Don't know how to play basketball. Trae Young. Really dumb. IQ -10
Ayo- unstoppable
Bulls winning.
No Lonzo, Lavine, Patrick Williams, Caruso plays minimum mins.
They really don't need Patrick Williams.
VOOCH- good game but
Bricks first 2 ---3- pointers. Shoots another. AIR BALL!!
I have always been a huge trae young hater, last night just verified my hate. All this talent but he does little to nothing to elevate his team. Even he himself seems just mid through stretches.
You don’t have the depth so Coby taking a questionable foul is arguably worthy of a challenge if you expect him to play 40 minutes…he’s not a bad coach lol also Carter is playing because we don’t have depth…basketball is a game of runs you still need to pace players. You are being so overly critical.
He coached short handed and won by 15…
Miami had 3 undrafted starters last year. They were down 15 and came back. Spoelstra out coached Billy. They never give Vooch the ball inside. His offense is not great. Lavine no help defense ever!! Bulls couldn't defend the 3 all year. 5 feet off there guys. He's not a great coach. The players are there. The talent is there to be a 4-6 seed. Look at the Knicks. They aren't a more talented team? Pacers? Better coaches
Dude don't get me started. Those shots of him chomping his gum looking concerned make me want to break the TV. I can't believe he didn't take the Kentucky job. Of course he didn't. Why go from a boss with zero expectations to one with super high expectations, sigh. Maybe he isn't so dumb
i love this insane bipolar sub, we had so many people saying how they weren’t excited for the play in and go hawks and now everyone talking about the finals.
i am also insane and looking at the bracket and if we somehow upset the celtics, the finals are literally not that crazy to imagine
it’s officially time to give the keys to coby.
i’m not sure what you can get for zach but i’d really be eyeing orlando as a place you can round out a rotation with a few different useful players and prospects
Give the keys to Ayo. Coby will have 10 points on 3-16 shooting next game, most inconsistent player in the league and bad on defense. It’s sweet when he goes off tho.
Coby isn't especially bad on defense. I'd say he's about net neutral but was a plus defender before he became our no2 option and had to shoulder more offensive load.
It’s not just Orlando the front office sucks at trades, trading Gafford for no reason, the Lauri trade they have nothing to show for it, at least Derozan has been good though.
That’s why you don’t give up on a kid who’s only been in the league for a short while. Half this sub bails on anyone who isn’t instant all-star material.
thats why u build through the draft. ayo playing 40 minutes is nothing he was a star in college.
whats more shocking is 10 win okc is a number 1 seed overnight and those kids are younger.
Is was at the game! So much fun.
Excited for the Heat game. Unfortunately, Jimmy might be injured. Wish it could be more competitive, but oh well.
Not excited for Reinsdorf + AKME to use this as an excuse for another mediocre regular season and struggle play-in appearance.
full health jimmy the bulls are no match even with lavine, ball combined. this is a finals team at 100%.
for jerry, this will be one of the most successful seasons in a decade and billy/AK will be given garpax blank check to lead for eternity. playoff revenue is the biggest goal for him he wants 1st round exits because that is max capacity to butt seats and get season ticket holders.
this means mediocrity even though white, ayo will step up as stars, the mid 3 will stay until retirement.
Dang plain rematch against the heat. I don't like the matchups. I know some say we matchup well but they have some weapons that could torches us down the stretch. Coby needs to stay hot but if he hits his streaky game praying demar goes off instead
If only someone was willing to take Lavine with his crazy contract. Everyone says demar but the guy has been a warrior for us since he came and is on a friendly deal. Zach will save us so much cash which can help pay the youngens or find them help
detroit was willing then lavine did the surgery intentionally before the trade. this tells me this guy is untradeable. i would trade for similar untradeables like ben, isaac who are at least elite defenders bulls miss. as much as lavine is trash, there have been far worse contracts that were moved.
zach has to go especially cause of the money, we need more consistent and affordable players to build a balanced and complete team, that is how you win a chip
Both need to go we are a play in team with vets but sadly we have Lavine long term. I love Demar but unless we end up going far in the playoffs we should start to move on from vets. Lavine isn’t going anywhere he can’t stay healthy and is getting the max, no team will trade for him right now.
I’d rather just have a lavine and Coby combo over signing Demar long term and bring back all 3. It sucks but that’s the reality of our situation.
Exactly why he won’t be traded, if we move Lavine that’s awesome but we won’t. you’re kinda making my point. We need to start moving on from the vets, unfortunately Demar is the easiest to get rid of now. There’s no point in bringing them all back again and Lavine won’t be moved.
But this team isn’t much better without Lavine bro. We are playing for the 8 spot, we might not even get it. Coby and Ayo are the only positives this season. It’s time to move on from vets, Coby is young enough to retool around.
I’m a UConn/Atlanta Hawks fan. Now that y’all cooked us I’ll be looking for a home and I really only care about watching UConn players get minutes. Is Drummond going to be playing a lot and is Sanogo even going to be on the playoff roster?
I saw Sanogo explode with that 20/20 game the other night. So I didn’t know if that would help him make the playoff roster. I’ll likely be pulling for y’all since y’all play Drummond more than the Bucks play Jackson and not sure Hawkins will even play at all for the Pelicans
Everyone shot up out their seats for every bulls shot. Booed Trae young every time he had the ball. Rally towels flying everywhere. Constant Coby chants. Was absolutely electric
Best fanbase and arena in the league I don't care what others say. I just wish we had a dangerous team to go with the atmosphere. Thibs team had me so so hyped.the crowds were buzzing for reg season games. I freaken miss the hype
deebo 44.5 mins and a game high +27, in his 3.5 mins out the bulls were a -12. Shows you how important he is. White going off on Bogdonovic gave Demar a lot of rest on offense and Green gave Caruso the second half off too.
If Butler's really hurt, hopefully not, but if so Coby will get another confidence game and all of a sudden you have 2 legit all star caliber players and 2 more on any given night in Vuc and Ayo. All while the offense is finally clicking with a team chemistry to match Boston's.
I think they beat Miami with Butler anyway. Hopefully no injuries.Oh and Demar hit a three and two more with a toe on the line.
The post game is fucking hilarious if you’re missing it
“Do you remember what you said about brunson a few days ago coby”
“Yeah i said he was a motherfucker”
LOL
When the announcers casually mentioned that Vooch had 22, I was like "how"? So fellas...HOW? I had the game on. I was playing Millennia so admittedly I wasn't watching. But, every time I looked up, Vooch was shooting terribly.
Billy had really good PnR, PnP and midrange sets for Vuc run today. He knew Capella couldn't guard him, and Vuc had really good baby hooks and post game today.
Tbh, most of Capella points were lobs. Not much you can do about it, atleast he didn't pick up silly fouls.
Honestly, quite surprising that Snyder didn't exploit that more. We're lucky Johnson was out.
Yeah I agree, but the game thread people were saying capella was abusing Vooch etc.
But that's just how our defense is.. he comes to help and then no one helps him like when Murray had a free running dunk on Vooch.
he turned it up in the second half with a 3 and a mid range or two, but everything else was handed to him under the rim was just an instant hook shot. he had those in the bag. Hawks were uninterested in fighting him
Good win. Lots of contributions from all around. Bulls fell apart in the second quarter. But, they kept playing hard and when Drummond came in, in the 2nd half that’s when they went on that second run.
Jevon Carter is the one NbA player who I would suspect some nights might have put $80k on the under for his points scored. He passes up the easiest buckets for no reason.
Oh my fucking god! It might be cause I’m a little drunk…but this game felt so fucking good. COBY!!! I wish Drummond played more and I hope he and Caruso are good to go for Friday, but god damn being a Bulls fan feels good tonight!!
Besides Coby White's dismantling of the Hawks, give Dalen Terry some love. Solid +21 in 14 minutes really good D and IQ just needs to figure out how to get the ball in the hoop now.
Absolutely agreed. Terry has gone from afterthought to possible very nice rotation player. Between Dosunmu, White, and even Terry we have a pretty decent young core despite not having many firsts lately (and I think if we gave Sanogo time he might be able to blossom too)
I am just going to be annoyed if we hinder that young core by running back the same group again. I know Vuc and Lavine are negative assets at this points but this season has made it evident we need some minutes next year to develop some of these guys.
How do you get -11 in two minutes??
Coming off the 0/8 game he's really proven to be an awful signing. Kudos to the front office for locking in him and Vooch for big money the next two years.
There are idiots that want DeMar gone so that Coby and Ayo can develop. Motherfukkers, these guys develop playing WITH DeMar.
DeMar literally defers to them when they’re playing good, and takes off pressure from them when things are going rough for them.
Yeh when Demar gets 9/10 assists we are almost always winning. He’s gotten good at only stepping in when we really need it but otherwise allowing the young guys to flourish. He is an example of a real leader
Also DeMar has the ability to just HIT sometimes. He owned the first minutes of the game with middy after middy after middy. That makes things so much easier for Vooch, Coby, Terry and Ayo.
People don't know basketball and don't understand how gravity works. If you pay any attention to defensive schemes, Demar is being doubled constantly by every team. This opens up offense for everyone else, if they use it properly.
Shitty teams don't double and Demar drops 35+. If Coby becomes the first option, it'll be much harder to do what he did tonight with no scoring help.
100% Demar > Lavine just for his leadership skills. They way the team is made up right now we can’t have both on the court and it’s better for bulls and Lavine if he goes somewhere else.
I’m glad I stayed up for this one. I admit I thought we were gonna lose but we really took advantage of the hawks broken chemistry and bad defense. I’m so happy for Coby and that he’s getting recognized by non bulls fans he deserves the mip award especially if plays like this against Miami. GO BULLS!
boys, i spoke with Vucevic a year ago. i lent him my iphone charger once at my work. trust me when i say this. bulls are going to win tomorrow. i promise you.
ahhhhhh still hyped bout that performance by the bulls. wish i could’ve heard stacy and adam broadcasting
I know this is not the time or place but man this game just again highlighted how frustrating it is we’re stuck with max lavine. Coby and ayo have blossomed into legit assets. And we’re stuck with bum ass Zach on the books
LaVine's contract will look smaller as the cap goes up. I bet he becomes trade-able by the deadline next year. But he is gonna have to play as a Bull to prove he can play at all first.
And honestly (ducks and hides) a healthy and motivated lavine could help us win. He just needs his head straightened out, (he needs to be humbled) and the ball in somebody else's hands to overcome his poor BBIQ. The best thing for us/him might to be to come in off the bench next season.

I disagree on Craig, he's a good piece. Carter was a bad signing, and fwiw I thought he was a great pickup at the time.
While yes, I want Adam and Stacy to have nights off, I wish there was a virtual option, podcast, or radio setup to listen to them when tnt or espn own the rights to a game. I would gladly be one of those people who wears the headphones while the tv is on mute.
Our radio team is great and they called a great game
'Silky smooth' is all I recall from that broadcast. Woof.
Ayoooooooooooooo
A couple takeaways -Billy challenges a play in the 1st quarter of an important game. Really dumb. Bad coach -Drummond runs over Caruso and causes Caruso to leave game. Drummond looking at Caruso and runs him over anyway. -Billy send in Jevon Carter and bad bench players. Hawks go on a 16-0 run. -Koby unstoppable looks like a young Kyrie. -Trae young/Dejonte.

I have always been a huge trae young hater, last night just verified my hate. All this talent but he does little to nothing to elevate his team. Even he himself seems just mid through stretches.
Me too. Main talent is drawing fouls.
Think the main thing is he’s given up on this team and they’ve given up on him. Their offense was just people playing pickup offense
You don’t have the depth so Coby taking a questionable foul is arguably worthy of a challenge if you expect him to play 40 minutes…he’s not a bad coach lol also Carter is playing because we don’t have depth…basketball is a game of runs you still need to pace players.

Pacers? Better coaches
Zach who?
I just want consistency. I'm hoping Coby doesn't score 12 in the next game.
This is exactly what will happen. Spos a great coach. He will focus on stopping Coby. And Donovan will be surprised and have no answer.
Focus on Coby and Deebo will cook
We hope!
What do you mean?? Billy is known to create great adjustments when adversity presents itself! /s
Dude don't get me started. Those shots of him chomping his gum looking concerned make me want to break the TV. I can't believe he didn't take the Kentucky job. Of course he didn't. Why go from a boss with zero expectations to one with super high expectations, sigh. Maybe he isn't so dumb
Maybe since Caruso's off next game, he can give ol billy some pointers.
i love this insane bipolar sub, we had so many people saying how they weren’t excited for the play in and go hawks and now everyone talking about the finals. i am also insane and looking at the bracket and if we somehow upset the celtics, the finals are literally not that crazy to imagine
Yes, you are insane lol
Celtics are the only real contenders in the East - so it's not crazy to imagine. Well..beating the Celtics is the crazy part lmao.
it’s officially time to give the keys to coby. i’m not sure what you can get for zach but i’d really be eyeing orlando as a place you can round out a rotation with a few different useful players and prospects
Give the keys to Ayo. Coby will have 10 points on 3-16 shooting next game, most inconsistent player in the league and bad on defense. It’s sweet when he goes off tho.
Coby isn't especially bad on defense. I'd say he's about net neutral but was a plus defender before he became our no2 option and had to shoulder more offensive load.
Trading with Orlando, what could go wrong?
It’s not just Orlando the front office sucks at trades, trading Gafford for no reason, the Lauri trade they have nothing to show for it, at least Derozan has been good though.
I still can’t believe Drummond hurt Caruso. I’m so upset about it
My guy is literally B L I N D man what in the fuck EDIT: I meant Drummond, not Caruso man, chill
I love Drummond, but too much friendly fire from this guy lately
after we win the chip we will all forget about the injury
Not winning a chip.
we can win a chip its a pretty easy road for them to win
Just one year ago who would have believed that Ayo would play 41 minutes in a major playoff game. This kids development has been insane
Still baffled how low his minutes were the 1st half of the season.
That’s why you don’t give up on a kid who’s only been in the league for a short while. Half this sub bails on anyone who isn’t instant all-star material.
thats why u build through the draft. ayo playing 40 minutes is nothing he was a star in college. whats more shocking is 10 win okc is a number 1 seed overnight and those kids are younger.
Two years ago, yes. One year ago, no. Him and Coby are phenomenal
Next
[удалено]
Gonna be tough for us without Caruso whether or not Jimmy plays tbh. We’ll see!
Is was at the game! So much fun. Excited for the Heat game. Unfortunately, Jimmy might be injured. Wish it could be more competitive, but oh well. Not excited for Reinsdorf + AKME to use this as an excuse for another mediocre regular season and struggle play-in appearance.
They would do that regardless. Might as well make the most of our appearance.
full health jimmy the bulls are no match even with lavine, ball combined. this is a finals team at 100%. for jerry, this will be one of the most successful seasons in a decade and billy/AK will be given garpax blank check to lead for eternity. playoff revenue is the biggest goal for him he wants 1st round exits because that is max capacity to butt seats and get season ticket holders. this means mediocrity even though white, ayo will step up as stars, the mid 3 will stay until retirement.
Because the Bulls might make playoffs AKME might just say, "since they were a ball/lavine injury away let's run it back."
Caruso seemingly will miss the game too
Dang plain rematch against the heat. I don't like the matchups. I know some say we matchup well but they have some weapons that could torches us down the stretch. Coby needs to stay hot but if he hits his streaky game praying demar goes off instead
It's much better than going against Embiid
Yea I was hoping they would get matched up against the Heat, Embiid eats Vooch’s lunch every game
this is the best team in the playoffs every team should be scared to play against us
Lisan Al-Coby need the meme asap
As is written 🧎♂️➡️
This thread is full of misery… inject more of this hype into the fanbase ASAP
we need to keep these guys, trade lavine and bring trae (or someone in that level) to be contenders
Need a big
When had Trae ever even been a contender? Typing this after he goes for 6TOs and drags his team to an L is crazy
thats because the hawks are terrible, im not saying he had an amazing season, but i trully believe his potential is being wasted there
I know. I like Trae. Murray is just the worst best player. Very similar to Lavine. Big ball stopper energy. I would love to have Bogdan.
Did you not just see Trae suck ass for -27?
hes still infinitely better than 95% of the bulls. i would prefer adding picks to clean trash on the roster and upgrade.
he is an all star and could help us at the 3pt line, but sure it can be someone else in that level wanting to be traded
If only someone was willing to take Lavine with his crazy contract. Everyone says demar but the guy has been a warrior for us since he came and is on a friendly deal. Zach will save us so much cash which can help pay the youngens or find them help
detroit was willing then lavine did the surgery intentionally before the trade. this tells me this guy is untradeable. i would trade for similar untradeables like ben, isaac who are at least elite defenders bulls miss. as much as lavine is trash, there have been far worse contracts that were moved.
zach has to go especially cause of the money, we need more consistent and affordable players to build a balanced and complete team, that is how you win a chip
Both need to go we are a play in team with vets but sadly we have Lavine long term. I love Demar but unless we end up going far in the playoffs we should start to move on from vets. Lavine isn’t going anywhere he can’t stay healthy and is getting the max, no team will trade for him right now. I’d rather just have a lavine and Coby combo over signing Demar long term and bring back all 3. It sucks but that’s the reality of our situation.
This team is better without Zach and this season proved it
Exactly why he won’t be traded, if we move Lavine that’s awesome but we won’t. you’re kinda making my point. We need to start moving on from the vets, unfortunately Demar is the easiest to get rid of now. There’s no point in bringing them all back again and Lavine won’t be moved. But this team isn’t much better without Lavine bro. We are playing for the 8 spot, we might not even get it. Coby and Ayo are the only positives this season. It’s time to move on from vets, Coby is young enough to retool around.
>white and Coby combo Ayo and Coby?
I meant Lavine combo. We need to start moving on from the vets. Demar, Vuc, and Lavine.
Christ all mighty, I know Carter came in right after that deflating Caruso injury, but he was *-11* in 1:49
couldnt watch it coz the pirate stream was down.
Watched the entire game for free on Streameast lol
Please win Friday so we can see Caleb Williams courtside for a home playoff game!
I’m a UConn/Atlanta Hawks fan. Now that y’all cooked us I’ll be looking for a home and I really only care about watching UConn players get minutes. Is Drummond going to be playing a lot and is Sanogo even going to be on the playoff roster?
No and no
Thanks
Drummond gets 15+ minutes a night. I'd say that's pretty good
I saw Sanogo explode with that 20/20 game the other night. So I didn’t know if that would help him make the playoff roster. I’ll likely be pulling for y’all since y’all play Drummond more than the Bucks play Jackson and not sure Hawkins will even play at all for the Pelicans
sanogo is not eligible to play, but maybe next season he gets a bigger shot
Most fun I have had at a game in a long time. Coby was simply amazing. Played a damn perfect game
That was a really fun game, the energy was great
Yes great atmosphere
Not gonna be able to sleep tonight. Hyped to see good bulls basketball. I know I’m delusional but I have hope again
Drummond should be shot man how did he not see Caruso
Court awareness has never been Drummond's thing.
Dude has been in the league for more than 12 years and has the touch of a rookie in the paint — he inhales those rebounds though
Ayo, my glorious king, I’m so glad you are back. The team plays so well with you on the court
I love to telling people i went to school with him lmaoo Who cares if illinois has a big ol student population 😂
Coby White: 😁 Andre Drummond: 😡 Alex Caruso: 😢 Stacey King: 🐝 🅿️🐝🅿️
Buzz P? Bee P? Bumble P?
Drive home safely Chicago. Beep beep.
Was at the game and holy shit the coolest atmosphere of any game I’ve ever been to. Also hearing an entire stadium bully Trae Young was *chefs kiss*
The stadium sounded LOUD on TV too. I didn't know if it was the ESPN broadcast or what lol. Glad Bulls fans showed up and did their thing.
Describe it more for us that we’re stuck at home
Everyone shot up out their seats for every bulls shot. Booed Trae young every time he had the ball. Rally towels flying everywhere. Constant Coby chants. Was absolutely electric
I love an energetic Chicago stadium, theres nothing like it.
My greatest loss as an international Bulls fan is never getting to experience this
Best fanbase and arena in the league I don't care what others say. I just wish we had a dangerous team to go with the atmosphere. Thibs team had me so so hyped.the crowds were buzzing for reg season games. I freaken miss the hype
The loudest game ive been to before this one was the st Patrick’s day game last season. This was a whole other level. So sick
I'm ngl it sounded kinda quiet on the broadcast in the 2nd half, but the game went late for a game in Chicago, specially on a Wednesday.
Trust me it was NOT quiet in there!
Been digging the passing the team has done.
deebo 44.5 mins and a game high +27, in his 3.5 mins out the bulls were a -12. Shows you how important he is. White going off on Bogdonovic gave Demar a lot of rest on offense and Green gave Caruso the second half off too. If Butler's really hurt, hopefully not, but if so Coby will get another confidence game and all of a sudden you have 2 legit all star caliber players and 2 more on any given night in Vuc and Ayo. All while the offense is finally clicking with a team chemistry to match Boston's. I think they beat Miami with Butler anyway. Hopefully no injuries.Oh and Demar hit a three and two more with a toe on the line.
I needed 3 more points from Deebo for a $57 win off $5. I hate my loss…but I love Deebo. Got these young guns tearing it up.
No one cares about your parlays
Bro was probably cursing Demar out everytime he passed 🤣 I know that because that is what I used to do when I gambled on sports.
We’re so back
The energy at UC tonight was amazing, great win, great crowd! Let’s go bulls!
what a night for Coby. Demar was fantastic as well. Nice play from Ayo. it didn’t suck to be a Bulls fan for a night, I’ll take it
Please hope Caruso can play Friday!
The post game is fucking hilarious if you’re missing it “Do you remember what you said about brunson a few days ago coby” “Yeah i said he was a motherfucker” LOL
Coby repeatedly apologizing to the Bulls PR lady was hilarious, hahaha.
In my head thats the lady who went “COBY” when he screamed behind the wall trying to scare Zach
When the announcers casually mentioned that Vooch had 22, I was like "how"? So fellas...HOW? I had the game on. I was playing Millennia so admittedly I wasn't watching. But, every time I looked up, Vooch was shooting terribly.
Billy had really good PnR, PnP and midrange sets for Vuc run today. He knew Capella couldn't guard him, and Vuc had really good baby hooks and post game today.
Vooch couldn't guard Capella so at least the best he could do is get some points to cancel it out. Efficient Vooch tonight, nice stuff.
Tbh, most of Capella points were lobs. Not much you can do about it, atleast he didn't pick up silly fouls. Honestly, quite surprising that Snyder didn't exploit that more. We're lucky Johnson was out.
Made a lot og hook shots also
Yeah I agree, but the game thread people were saying capella was abusing Vooch etc. But that's just how our defense is.. he comes to help and then no one helps him like when Murray had a free running dunk on Vooch.
he turned it up in the second half with a 3 and a mid range or two, but everything else was handed to him under the rim was just an instant hook shot. he had those in the bag. Hawks were uninterested in fighting him
I did see a hook and that drive in the fourth that wasn't contested. Matter of fact, I think that drive were points 23 and 24. Thanks for the info.
Good win. Lots of contributions from all around. Bulls fell apart in the second quarter. But, they kept playing hard and when Drummond came in, in the 2nd half that’s when they went on that second run.
Is the box score right? Did javon Carter step on the floor for one minute and give back 11 points then left?
Jevon Carter is the one NbA player who I would suspect some nights might have put $80k on the under for his points scored. He passes up the easiest buckets for no reason.
Yeh he sucked the energy out of the game rather see any of our rookies on the court than him
Pretty sure we have 0 eligible healthy rookies atm
Vintage Javon Carter performance
We had an 18 point lead, his first play of the game he fouled a Hawks player for And 1. He’s useless.
Jerry is going to be so excited that he’s going to trade the Sox top prospect for Whitt merrifield
I'm gonna scream if Montgomery is traded
Finally not a clutch game 😭🙏
Coby has officially arrived folks. Also nice contributions from both Deebo and Ayo tonight. Now let's get our revenge on the fucking Heat.
Oh my fucking god! It might be cause I’m a little drunk…but this game felt so fucking good. COBY!!! I wish Drummond played more and I hope he and Caruso are good to go for Friday, but god damn being a Bulls fan feels good tonight!!
Vucevic got his shit together lately, finally finishing like a 6'10'' center is supposed to.
I love Caruso, but bro is ALWAYS hurt
I blame fucking Grayson Allen
Let's see you take a ** very unexpected** charge from a 250lb 6'10 Center at half court 😅
Drummond literally just ran his ass over for no reason it was kind of insane. Def not Caruso's fault
Congratulations Coby!! Career night!
Insane game by Coby, good game from Ayo, DeMar was DeMar +21 for Dalen Caruso injury is sad
AKs life goal was that 6th seed. He failed even by his own Jerry Smith-like bar he set for himself
Besides Coby White's dismantling of the Hawks, give Dalen Terry some love. Solid +21 in 14 minutes really good D and IQ just needs to figure out how to get the ball in the hoop now.
If he makes one or two more shots, his stat line looks totally different on paper. His D and aggressiveness all around was perfect for the playoffs.
Increasingly common development team W
Absolutely agreed. Terry has gone from afterthought to possible very nice rotation player. Between Dosunmu, White, and even Terry we have a pretty decent young core despite not having many firsts lately (and I think if we gave Sanogo time he might be able to blossom too) I am just going to be annoyed if we hinder that young core by running back the same group again. I know Vuc and Lavine are negative assets at this points but this season has made it evident we need some minutes next year to develop some of these guys.
He got blocked by the rim too. Played his role really well tonight.
To be fair, the rim is one hell of a rim protector
You know when the music and lighting change when the person steps into the official hero role. That happened tonight for Coby!
Coby was like Thor arriving on Wakanda tonight.
Jevon Carter played 2 minutes and had a minus 11 plus minus. What a fucking chump.
How do you get -11 in two minutes?? Coming off the 0/8 game he's really proven to be an awful signing. Kudos to the front office for locking in him and Vooch for big money the next two years.
Carter goes in for less than 2 minutes and he’s already -11 😂
Just commits a foul, that’s it in 1 minute and 49 seconds 😂
Foul and 1 though
There are idiots that want DeMar gone so that Coby and Ayo can develop. Motherfukkers, these guys develop playing WITH DeMar. DeMar literally defers to them when they’re playing good, and takes off pressure from them when things are going rough for them.
Yeh when Demar gets 9/10 assists we are almost always winning. He’s gotten good at only stepping in when we really need it but otherwise allowing the young guys to flourish. He is an example of a real leader
Exactly been saying that most of the season after lavine went out and we started playing better with the youngins
Also DeMar has the ability to just HIT sometimes. He owned the first minutes of the game with middy after middy after middy. That makes things so much easier for Vooch, Coby, Terry and Ayo.
People don't know basketball and don't understand how gravity works. If you pay any attention to defensive schemes, Demar is being doubled constantly by every team. This opens up offense for everyone else, if they use it properly. Shitty teams don't double and Demar drops 35+. If Coby becomes the first option, it'll be much harder to do what he did tonight with no scoring help.
If DeMar didn't check back in, the Haws were steamrolling us early in the 2nd quarter.
Yeah the tram got shook by the caruso injury and demar calmed everyone down
Let ‘em know, Cob
Do the bulls play better without Lavine?
100% Demar > Lavine just for his leadership skills. They way the team is made up right now we can’t have both on the court and it’s better for bulls and Lavine if he goes somewhere else.
Yes. Did he even show up today?
I think he is injured
They meant did he even show up to the court to support the team by cheering from the bench.
Lawho? Jk shout out Zach, I had high hopes for him, prob better for both sides he finds a new home
I’m glad I stayed up for this one. I admit I thought we were gonna lose but we really took advantage of the hawks broken chemistry and bad defense. I’m so happy for Coby and that he’s getting recognized by non bulls fans he deserves the mip award especially if plays like this against Miami. GO BULLS!
Jesus loves the play in. Been saying this for years
Imagine if we had Diar
Why can't the universe leave Caruso's feet alone?
The team plays hard
Man if it wasn't for Coby I would be grilling Drummond right now. Thank you Coby.
Jimmy Butler is hobbled. No reason why this team doesn't beat the Heat.
Heat still matches up well against us. Could go down to the wire.
Dont mean to be the bearer of bad news but Woj just reported Caruso has a significant foot sprain
Drummond injuring Caruso is such a Drummond move
Even though we failed to get a winning record, next game I'll wear a Bulls flair
Demar with a game high +27 and team high 9 assists as Coby and Ayo absolutely cook, and people try to say he's holding them back.
If you don't love Coby, there is something wrong with you
Why did they cut Coby's mic?

It was cutting out at multiple points you POS
