What a night. 4 teams won that were between 1 and 2 games ahead of the Bulls as far as draft poisition and ping pong balls. Lakers, Suns, Grizzlies, and the Nets (Cavs pick) all won. Bulls are currently drafting 9th but are just a half game behind the Nets, Grizzlies, and Suns. So they could move from #9 to #6 sometime next week.

I wish Kris Dunn a speedy recovery but concussions suck. Take a few games off and see how you feel then. Bulls are only 1 game back of the Lakers. We play them this Friday. The Lakers are interesting because they want to win, at least enough to be out of the top 5. They don’t want to select #2 through #5 because if they do, Boston ends up with the pick.

It’s not happening Ron. Philosophical differences aside, there’s just no way they are going to finish with a worse record than the Kings, Hawks, Magic, Grizzlies, Nets, Lakers, and Mavericks. The Jazz and Suns are probably going to be worse. The Hornets are gonna tank too. They just aren’t going to get a top 7 pick barring major injuries or outright sitting healthy players.

Barring Trades involving Lopez, Mirotic, and Holiday its going to be tough Wolf. They have to find a way to get Payne, Zipser, and Felicio back into the rotation. That is the only surefire way the tank is going to happen.

I'm with you 100% on tanking but the fact is that this roster as presently constructed is too good to lose. At full strength this is a no doubt playoff team.

I don't know aboit those Lakers. They've been hell on wheels lately! (ever since old man Ball put down Walton) They got 3 great rookies. We only got 2.

Time for GarPax to start selling their "assets". Boston and New Orleans are 2 squads that I believe can use Mirotic. Boston has 8.5 Mil at their disposal as a result of the Hayward injury. They could use some more scoring and have a late first that they can give away.

They can roll out Lopez and Holiday also. The Bulls have to somehow get in that top 5. If not no lower than 7th. Time to start making an investment in losing.

The Nets win against Philadelphia last night means the Bulls are at #6 and only a half game behind the Suns for #5

Big Tank game tonight. Jump out to a big lead at Sac and end up losing.

That is the type of effort a tank needs!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Great loss, was concerned early in first half. Robin Lopez was out of control, needs to be suspended minimum 15 games or until traded.

I'm sure Kings fans will remember this great comeback for years to come win if they end up with one more win than bulls this season

You could have said the same thing in February 1990. One can always hope.

‘‘I was a little surprised by the technical,’’ Lopez said after the Bulls’ seventh loss in a row. ‘‘I think I’ve had grander gestures that haven’t resulted in a technical."

:lol:

Lopez's "tirade" was weak compared to Joakim's ejection in Sacramento a few years back. I'm sure Noah did the bit from Half Baked and gave a "fuck you" to the entire officiating crew.

Damn Dallas gave the game away. L.A. went on a 13-0 run down the stretch after trailing by about 11 I think. Dennis Smith Jr. made some rookie mistakes.

4 teams (Hawks, Magic, Kings, Mass) with 17 wins. Bulls, Suns, and Grizzlies with 18. This is a thing.

What the fuck you guys!?? Promoting a culture of losing for a young, athletic new team...on a pure-D gamble??? There are too many 1st pick busts and 2nd round superstars to bank on the tank. There is no guarantee. Look at Philly. Four years of it and they are still shit.

We need Dunn and Markie on the fucking floor. These guys have to play with each other and develop! My gawd all we really need is a top center. Lopez and Felicio and old man Tony Allen are the only guys on the team with no upside. Valentine is great. Holliday is our top 3 pt. scorer. Portis is an every night dbl/dbl guy.

Nwaba is an athletic beast and then there's Lavine! Tank for what?!! We just need a center. Buy a fucking center Garpax! Do it ASAP so these guys can start playing Hoiball and get it down for next year.

You sound like me when I was a dumbass 10 year old who thought Jalen Rose was the missing piece to lead the baby Bulls to a championship.

Took my wife to his first game. She likes the Knicks. I thought after that game, "Damn....I didn't know Jalen was that good."

The Pelicans were 5th in the West when Cousins went down. 0-3 since Mirotic arrived. Now 9th in the conference after a blowout versus Philly tonight. Pick #14
