I've never seen Bulls fans hype a bum lottery pick like this guy

How soon we forget the Coby White Hype from 3 years ago. Even If my guy Williams isn't Kawhi, he still isn't the bum you make him out to be. The kid has talent. He just needs to be more aggressive offensively. I don't if he can, but if he does then look out.

going against my better judgement, i think i'm going to take them tonight against wash.

i would worry about porzingis x the big stiff vuc...but, i believe the bulls will bounce back. i remember when vuc was traded to the bulls and bernstein & rahimi wanted to throw a party. to me, he's been a disappointment. off the top of my head, 3-4 other big stiff white centers from the balkans are better then vuc.

wendell carter jr is the magic. when he doesn't play, portland can beat them.

Should I help you out and take the Whiz? Every game just gets bigger for the Bulls. Failure and they have to play the Nets(L) followed by the Hawks(iffy).

Truth be told, the East playoffs are better without them. They are a fading memory.

yea outside of a couple guys having a good night and miraculously edging out a win, the bulls have shit the whole 2nd half the season. theyre just not going to suddenly pop into form at this point. they needed to lock in the last month and they haven't.

they might win tonight. but even if its a blowout, i dont see it changing much. id be surprised if they win 2 games in the 1st round.

Sad thing is this is likely to be peak DeRozan. I can see next year being a regression...which would be hugely depressing for fans who thought the Bulls had turned the corner from the previous regime. They may have to blow it all up and try a different approach. This is (was) an overachieving regular season team with virtually no chance of going anywhere in the playoffs.

felt good about the bullies today. had the bulls, philly & dallas. took the mysterious line of home philly pick vs. milwaukee. no injuries for philly, i expected a -3.5. played teasers and ended up needing the points for the philly game.

been a good stretch...few college games left, so the pressure is on to win nba games. was 4-1 yesterday and 3-0 today....that will change, for sure. have to be careful with the plays.

took dallas against the lakers and my first update had the mavs up by 22. i only played it because lebron was out. looking to continue to go against sac and okc their next games. okc has some talent, but they are all injured. fox and sabonis still out for sac.

he could easily have another similar year next year, but yea i wouldnt bet on it.

bulls overachieved 1st half the season, and underachieved 2nd half. its a very good team, but still middle of the pack league wise. figure derozen has peaked, and williams is not a stud... yea, we are two big time players away from being relevant.

With Ball there are the injuries but it's not like he is anything special even when he does happen to play. That's my issue. Even if he isn't a "bust" he still is either just a "guy" or mediocre at best. Definitely not a game changing player. Or even good. And when you factor in the history of injuries it's probably best that the Bulls brass abort mission before its too late. Unfortunately they won't.

Patrick Williams has really looked like he will be a special NBA player the last 3 games. Too bad his development was stunted by the injury.

Post subject:  Re: Your 2021-2022 Chicago Bulls.

the whole team was LA stunted by injury this year. tonight was obvious they knew it too they wanted to pick a fight and had every right to do it. they lost a lot of playoff money because caruso got murdered and it snowballed into a shit show.

And before the season started "we" were "assured" by the resident idiot that they were a "trash" team.

If they don’t win 40 games it’s beyond a complete disaster. No picks. No cap. And a trash team. Seems about right though. Lost franchise.

Lonzo will have missed 34 months or 211 straight games if he does indeed return for the 2024-2025 season. Oh, and that will be his final season of that 4 year-$80 million contract.

Bulls are now in the 10th slot. I actually watched that mess today. It was torturous. Dumb decisions, bad rebounding, porous defense. Somehow they managed to be slightly less bad than the T-Wolves. It pains me to think that this has been my favorite sports team since the mid-70s. I didn’t mind them being bad back then because the players were bad. Now they have decent players that can’t play together. It’s the same feeling I had watching the 2015 White Sox.

It suggests AK is a dumbass. Everyone saw what you're talking about the whole year and yet AK sat in front of the press a month ago saying he needed the last 28 games or whatever to "assess". Assess what, you dumbass. Your squad can't play together. Just accept it. Should have sold Vuc and DeRoxan at the trade deadline. AK has expertly guided this team into NBA hell.

1999 - 2002: Deliberately tanking to rebuild under the direction of Krause
2003 - 2006: Trying to rebuild under a different strategy under Paxson. Rebuild successfully produces a young playoff team but one with limitations due to not having a transcendent star.
2007 - 2009: Paxson tries to address the lack of star power by (stupidly) signing Ben Wallace and taking a chance on Tyrus Thomas. Wallace predictably doesn't change anything and you struck out on Thomas.
2009 - 2012: Bulls luck into a star and become a legit contender as a result
2013 - 2015: Weird period where they don't know who they are because we're not sure if Rose can ever be Rose again. This is also when Gar begins to, unfortunately, exert more control over the team. We see this when he replaces Thibs with the inept Hoiberg who promptly fails and walks his dumbass back to the NCAA.
2016 - 2020: Dumbass, directionless, embarrassing period under Gar. No strategy whatsoever other than sucking while trying not to suck, which is different than sucking while trying to suck (e.g. Philly).

This team isn't that bad. Their coach sucks ass. That's the biggest problem. Are they a "title favorite" probably not but then who is? There are no favorites to win the title. There's parity right now.

He seems to be falling into the Paxson pattern of overvaluing his players. Holding out for 2 first round picks for Caruso was just plain dumb. And I like both Caruso and AK but that made no sense.

Not really. He needed the last 22 games to assess Caruso. Just like he needed 22 games to assess the paint on his bedroom wall. Let the man assess.

Paxson fell in love with draft picks, but Caruso is a free agent signing. I can't understand why a team that needs young talent and size would choose a solid role player over the 2nd pick in the 2021 draft.
