Team defense is hideous. Case in point is when Neto went down the baseline past 3 guys. Turned it off.

I can't help but think Vuk is a minus for continuity for this team. It's why Williams stands in the corner. He's got a sweet little post up game but other than that, he's soft and worthless.

Man, bulls looking dominant. They gave up a huge 1st half lead, didn't panic at all, and just got back to 10 point lead.
It's early but this is a very confident team with a lot of depth

Yeah, and the Pacers suck…which helps.

But we are bigger and more talented this year. It's clear. This is a 2nd round team easy. Ayo looks great too.

I'll be the first to say that I haven;t seen every game, but Dragic was a big add for the team. Having him as a backup point guard is really helpful even if he can only play limited minutes. He picks up the pace and moves the ball extremely well.

And when they have Drummond, Green and Caruso on the floor together - their D is so much better.

That's funny. They will be lucky to make the play in game

This team is good. You're not watching the games. But I digest.

This team is actually good and that is even with my guy "The Paw" having yet "to get going"

2013 CSFMB ROY

That last 5 minutes of the Raptor game was kinda sad.

Every decent team they play, some kind of deficiency shows up. Bulls are not bad, but they aren't good either. It's like the White Sox if they played basketball. They have 41-41 written all over them.

The deficiency might just be Billy Donovan. Like him as a coach for the most part but his overreliance on small ball is going to ruin the team. The Bulls lost last night's game on the backboards. When he ran the lineup out there (which he does a lot by the way) that had Derrick Jones at the 5 that was the ballgame. They can cry about not having Drummond but they do have Tony Bradley sitting there, whom he never plays. The Bulls got pushed around by a team that isn't even all that big. How are they ever going to hope to contend against the Bucks and the Cavs when they can't even handle smaller teams like the Raptors?

It's not the fucking coach. This team is growing and has new parts, and still inexperienced. Teams aren't sleeping on us like they were last year. We will start winning games soon, not worried about that.

I told you clowns this team was trash.

They are not growing. They got outrebounded 50-2 in the last 5 minutes.

Wrong!

Tell me what this team has going for it? Besides a Father Time denying Derozen

They have a solid mix of talent. Lavine is still a good to very good player and so is Vooch. Solid Bench (loving the Dragic and Drummond additions) and their young guys are good too. The only thing they are missing is a couple of rangy forwards to back up the 3 and 4.

The Ball signing is burning the hell out of them right now.

And here is the other thing. It's not like there are any juggernauts in the NBA right now. With what the Bulls have they can easily match up with some of the better teams in the league.

Nah this is the part where you do your "bit" of trashing any and everything for no purpose other than to trash any and everything.

I'm good.

Not a bit. Just facts. Do 27 year Olds with healthy knees sit out every other game? Just Asking A Question

He played back to back just last week and it's actually quite common for people that have had knee surgery to "ease" their way back in.

And Saying that a guy averaging 17 12 and 3 is "washed up" is delusional.

_________________

Billy D blew the game last night. Once again decided to go small in the last 4 or 5 minutes of the game. Bulls are now 0-6 in close games this season. Not good.

_________________

Doesn't seem like a very good team to me, huh? Just asking a Question.

Did you actually watch the game? Just Asking A Much More Relevant Question.

_________________

I'm becoming a "watch the last quarter" Bulls guy. I was busy watching Utah/Atlanta. A surprisingly solid starting lineup for Utah. And a good rim protector on the 2nd unit.

Yeah Walker Kessler was a solid pick or trade it appears.

Billy D and his devotion to small ball is killing the team. The Bulls really haven't been blown out all season. They are losing a lot of games down the stretch simply because they can't get stops and rebounds. These are winnable games. Caruso at the 4 and Jones at the 5 needs to stop. It's not a winning formula

_________________

I don't believe there's any defensive combination that can prevail in the playoffs. It could be that AK and Donovan are test running combos. This particular block has Derrick Jones in it, who wasn't even playing until like 4 games ago. I know you like Vuk, but name a guard who can't easily score on him down low.

Wait, I thought rebounds didn't matter?

Any thoughts on the game CB? Just Asking A Question
