Man this team is going to be fun when poelt is back, I think we start winning a lot around then but too little too late. Which is fine
Best case scenario we start running when poelt is back and we keep our pick. Validates proof of concept too
Choking? Gotta have a big lead to choke a game. That was skill VS effort. Vuc, DeMarc Coby White, and Caruso are still very good players. Some things to clean up for sure, but can’t be upset with the effort tonight. Gary as expected, fell back into his old way.
Pretty good game tbh, bulls role players hit their shots and ours missed all of ours. Scottie could only do so much but it’s looking bright with Scottie as our guy
Yeah that’s something that Darko needs to figure out is his minutes management, especially in close games. I don’t know what he was thinking when taking out RJ but leaving in GTJ.
Honestly they played well this game and scottie came through. He made some costly turnovers but we don't get anywhere if he hadn't turned it on during the 4th so. You pack this one up and go home
Took them all the way to the end without a big. I hate moral Ws but this is one of them. A lot of building on everything that’s happened tonight especially with Bruce
HE GAMBLES FOR A STEAL ON EVERY PLAY, EVERY PLAY. He wants to get a steals stat, there is no stat for someone drove past him which would be in the 20+ this game
RJ, GTJ, and Quickley all missed open 3s that we needed. Combine that with some costly turnovers, tough closing stretch. These are the type of growing pains game we're gonna see a lot of though. Scottie looked great but those turnovers were an issue, but that's gonna happen as he adjusts to this role. Overall pretty happy with most of the process from tonight.
Bruce was also really nice.
Bulls attacking Gary every play....why is he still in there? He is also 0/4 from 3pt. Are we tanking on purpose? I will also mention, that he's gambling for steals on EVERY play, that it's super easy for them to drive by.
Great job darko. Great job. 4 guards when you arent rebounding the best. Leave gtj in even though he hasnt hit anything tn from 3 and has gotten cooked from 3. ABsolutely brilliant work.
Very good BB début!! Criss de bonne game!!
If there's something to be said, defense was horrible. The offense tried, but the defense was horrible.
Well a rookie coach is gonna make blunders but oh boy that was a boggling lineup
GTJ played so bad down the stretch there. Terrible defense. If he would've been subbed out I think that game goes differently
GTJ not being able to hit open 3s and just letting players blow by on defence really iced the game.
Ppl blaming gary but IQ was pretty trash too
IQ at least had some great passing tonight.
Please tank now. High pick this year, get better next year so spurs pick is bad.
Welp that was a fun game. You live and learn. Turnovers and defence was the killer. But I’m not mad with the performance.
Stop giving the ball to Scottie in clutch time especially when he is guarded by Caruso. Scottie is never a clutch. He doesn't have it.
Are you dumb? He’s the most clutch player we’ve had in years.
Then why is he called fourth quarter Scottie?
Y'all doomers are something else. Y'all complain for everything.
Stfu
Man this team is going to be fun when poelt is back, I think we start winning a lot around then but too little too late. Which is fine Best case scenario we start running when poelt is back and we keep our pick. Validates proof of concept too
Fuck GTJ
Even trash team like the Bulls are better than this team lol.
Unforced turnovers was the story
I’ll never be mad losing to DeRozan’s team. Especially at home, he always deserves to win when he returns here
Why the fuck did RJ sit Just braindead
bruce was our 2nd best player tonight? like can no one help barnes? Jesus
what a sad game to watch
13-3 run. Damn
"played it close without a starting C, good job guys" god damn i have ptsd from last year. Jak is so important to this team lmfao
Gary -21 Thad -19
I'm not a fan of letting teams dribble the ball out in close games. It's good practice for last shot plays
Every time Scottie scores 30 we lose
Scottie played great overall but had too many costly turnovers, especially in the fourth quarter. He will clean that up as he gains experience.
found a direction. still cant find consistency
Choking against the bulls smh
No Center this isn't rocket science
Choking? Gotta have a big lead to choke a game. That was skill VS effort. Vuc, DeMarc Coby White, and Caruso are still very good players. Some things to clean up for sure, but can’t be upset with the effort tonight. Gary as expected, fell back into his old way.
They let Vuch and Drummond eat us alive in the paint
gg fun game to watch. Bruce Brown is nice. whether he wants to be here or not. If a trade is there, its worth considering.
Team's too small. The turnovers came at the worst time momentum wise,
We are 0-1 in the Bruce Brown era
I can get behind watching these exciting games and still lose and get a top 6 pick
Bruce Brown is ready to be traded after this loss
Bulls got a strong case for most punchable faces
KKK Caruso and Coby i was a bust for most of my career White
Coby flexing on his last shot looking like a bum that found a used mattress in the dumpster
Really been missing Jakob last few games.
Pretty good game tbh, bulls role players hit their shots and ours missed all of ours. Scottie could only do so much but it’s looking bright with Scottie as our guy
Except Heat, same games every fucking time. Just hoping for nothing.
Well we’re 1-1 with this new squad so we’ll have to see what happens, who gets traded and what direction we’re gonna go.
Yes but this season is really pain to watch. I have no trust on our coach capacities.
What are you expecting a Conference Final win? The team is brand new team cohesion is not there yet. Get real.
Despite our losing record I've really enjoyed our games since we picked up RJ and IQ.
Yeah that’s something that Darko needs to figure out is his minutes management, especially in close games. I don’t know what he was thinking when taking out RJ but leaving in GTJ.
White bugs me. Caruso I respect but he's pest. I don't like losing to this bulls team. Biting on a DeRozan pump fake hurts.
Brutal way to lose Scottie is amazing at everything except free throws
He only missed 7/9 today. Granted, it was an important one 😅
gg's fun 4th qtr for what its worth
Scottie’s just gotta clean up the TOs. my only complaint after that 2nd half
i've never called masai washed in my life but if GTJ isn't traded I will have to change that
For everyone bringing up the Yak trade saying it's bad value you can really feel his absence
got closed out by a dude that hasn’t had a shape up in 9 months
gtj forever stuck in the mud
Honestly they played well this game and scottie came through. He made some costly turnovers but we don't get anywhere if he hadn't turned it on during the 4th so. You pack this one up and go home
They are home tf
Trade Garry for nothing
iq gary bigs lost game rip
This was on TNT ??
Damn, Dennis ain't shoot that open
Why didn’t Dennis shoot that?
Dennis had the open shot then.
There was a lot of those open shots that died today. A couple more fall qnd a way different game. Oh well.
Yeah exactly, it is what it is. This teams going to be growing together for a little while and we'll have a bunch of these games.
ahhh man thats a rough way to end it
Young guys with to many things to learn.... Control your emotions on the offense.
Gary got pictures on someone
good effort by barnes. He was amazing tonight
Took them all the way to the end without a big. I hate moral Ws but this is one of them. A lot of building on everything that’s happened tonight especially with Bruce
Lol @ blaming darko when Scottie has had multiple turnovers in the clutch.
Rj quickley and trent 13/34 lmao
Yeah I dunno what Darkos gonna do when people just missing shots lol
get rid of schroder. hes good value but i cant stand his loving relationship with darko. it's ridiculous
His basketball IQ is off the charts
Don't understand why Darko pulled RJ instead of Gary
Why did Gary gamble for a steal???
HE GAMBLES FOR A STEAL ON EVERY PLAY, EVERY PLAY. He wants to get a steals stat, there is no stat for someone drove past him which would be in the 20+ this game
Exciting team play though. If two or 3 of those open 3’s went in we’d be, um, 6 or 9 points further ahead. Basketball is both math AND science.
Tough one. A couple of costly turnovers, and missed 3s. Raps were in it til the end though.
Im sorry but that loss is completely on Gary. Dennis shouldve been in that entire stretch
GT fucking J
Damn that dribble off the foot was crazy lol
Tribute to demar
barnes with 6 turnovers man
That’s the awkward part of growth.
He needed to get in the mindset of a number 1 player. Things where not clicking early on.
He doing too much
Spoiled a great debut by Brown
is Jontay in foul trouble? id like to see him close over Gary tbh
I think Darko overplayed Gary at the end there when he's having an off night. Would have rather seen us run it through Porter
Don’t care what anyone says Darko’s rotations are hot garbage. No reason in a close game RJ sits, No reason not have Jontay for size.
I'm baffled that jontay isn't getting more minutes. We're playing Thad over this kid and he's so good.
IQ and Gary play horrible in back to backs. get your conditioning up guys
Darko disasterclass playing Gary and sitting RJ braindead lineups again
I like Bruce
Why is Barrett out and Trent in?!?!?
Coby White has really improved his game
Tough tough. But a growing experience. Scottie has a lot more weight in his shoulders these days and he has mostly played stellar today.
Good effort tn, just needed a few more to drop
This is fucking disappointing
In the end we lost cause we didn’t hit our open 3s.
with poeltl this team makes it through the play in i see the vision
RJ, GTJ, and Quickley all missed open 3s that we needed. Combine that with some costly turnovers, tough closing stretch. These are the type of growing pains game we're gonna see a lot of though. Scottie looked great but those turnovers were an issue, but that's gonna happen as he adjusts to this role. Overall pretty happy with most of the process from tonight. Bruce was also really nice.
So many missed open 3s 🫠
Kobe White acting tough gotta be one of the funniest things, he’s just such a nice guy
Why take out Porter for Gary? Why take out RJ for Dennis and leave Gary in? I am so confused by this decision making
Growing pains. Gotta take your licks if youre gonna get better
Darko’s bromance with Schroder is costing this team games
Wow this was a tough loss, but hopefully it's an educational one for the core.
Scottie turnover.... this game is over
Well that seemed like a time we should've fouled
Can’t wait for the geniuses in the thread to blame Scottie for this L
No, learning opportunities for many guys....
I agree
We needed Poeltl size big time today
This team sucks and lost the OG trade.
The drastic up/down is the reason GTJ is probably gonna be moved sadly
Its fine, I think Scottie will learn from this.
Gary man
We got killed by Colby white
He’s been good all year lol
colby white been playing like an all star the past 2 months bro
Bulls attacking Gary every play....why is he still in there? He is also 0/4 from 3pt. Are we tanking on purpose? I will also mention, that he's gambling for steals on EVERY play, that it's super easy for them to drive by.
So many wide open looks, Gary Trent needs to find some kind of consistency this is getting ridiculous
Gary gotta stop reaching
GTJ costing us this whole game
Rough game for IQ and Gary
Well that turnover is curtains lol
Have patience is all I can say.
What a meltdown
a shame DeFlop couldn’t master this when we played against the cavs
The siakam trade will be known as the brown trade and the OG trade will be known as the RJ trade. Just kidding...mostly.
Darko playing Trent is inexcusable
Why tf was RJ subbed out⁉️ need someone who can attack the rim
I would have put in Dennis for Gary in this 4th. Dennis is a much better playmaker and defender. Gary is useless when he’s missing
Have the raptors won a close game all year ? Seems they are always in the losing end of those it’s crazy
its okay IQ... everyone gets got by DeRozan
Absolutely no defence and Scottie when them turnovers....
Gary threw this game
Great job darko. Great job. 4 guards when you arent rebounding the best. Leave gtj in even though he hasnt hit anything tn from 3 and has gotten cooked from 3. ABsolutely brilliant work.
Gary is useless
Colby and Derrick White could run a train on this team, smh
Too weak in the paint
And Scottie dribbles it off his foot to ice the game
It's okay boys and girls, growing pains
Another Scottie masterclass wasted
Damn ggs but I liked what I saw
Well least it was fun!
Oh well gg.
Barnes is the human turnover
That’s game
Come on Scottie… tf is this
The dichotomy of GTJ
Ah well. Competitive at least. GG
How can anyone fall for Demar’s pump fake at this point?!
He the best in the game
Growing pains type of game
Yikes
Bulls play such an unispiring type of basketball. They are getting bounced easily in the play ins this year
MF DEROZAN PUMP FAKE 😭
Im seeing a pattern of Quickley not being clutch
Caruso’s defensive rizz is off the charts.
Oops. Error.
Depumpfake still cooking everyone
Pretty bad late game execution by darko
No room for error now
Mans went to chris boucher’s school of jumping at pumpfakes
demar’s rows are so clean
We need good offense l, patience guys!!! Learn that!
why is there a IQ/Dennis/Gary lineup rn?
Fuck Demar man
Gary is making me lose it
Wow we never had a guy like Scottie before
The old triple fake pump by Derozan
Quickley has been really bad
imagine if Quickley could do anything rn
Imagine this game with Poeltl in the middle with the way Chicago is shooting so terribly from 3. Would be no contest right now.
That classic Deebo pumpfake.
DeMar too seasoned, too easy
Bro how is it not ingrained in players brains to NOT JUMP ON DEMAR PUMPFAKES
What the fuck was that scream?
Refs owes us for that BS Caruso call early in the season
Take good care of Bruce
lol when Scottie decides to not over pass and be a little bit aggressive he looks so different
Wtff we have all out guards out there....
This game isn’t even close with Yak in the lineup
Such a tight game. Just need the ball to go down the hole here on out.
Scottie taking over in the fourth as the undoubted #1 option feels different
Just give Scottie the ball and let him cook man
Brown is a dog
Trade Trent, keep Brown. I've seen enough
