    next 4 games are vs Philly, vs Bucks, @Denver twice. Should be 4 loses in a row. We probably go into tank Mode the next few weeks

    We were told we were stupid for thinking the Blazers with Ant as the #1 option should beat the Spurs with our injuries.

    Here we are with a loss to the Bulls, who aren't much better, with our players back and Ant as the #1 option.

    Please retire the Ant as the #1 option idea. I'm sure more excuses will be made how this loss and all the others have nothing to do with Ant.

    And hurry to trade Brogdon/Ant/maybe Grant.

    Only positive tonight was Ayton having a decent game. But with is talent level, and what he's being paid, he should be giving this kind of production almost nightly.

    Come on, Charlotte, pass us. Come on Hawks, pass the Warriors.

    Drummond should’ve been called for a flop but whatever.

    those teams have won enough games to rest some starters. We might see some close games... maybe even a win or 2 ?

    One of the apparently pressing motivations for our genius GM to trade Dame before the season started was to hand over the reins to Scoot.

    Now we have games when his equally intelligent head coach plays him almost 20 fewer minutes than Malcolm fucking Brogdon.

    Make it make sense.

    Ayton 9-12, the big man was feeling it.
    Then the Blazers iced him out and tried winning with excessive chuckball. The Bulls said, "thanks Portland, we like your style."

    Chicago’s leading scorer is DeRozen. He played. Coby White, who also played, is their second leading scorer.

    need a clear cut, Billups, Brogdon and Grant need to go. Ant probably too. I want Scoot and Shaedon take over and make the next step

    You really felt the need to point out this pedantic fact and correct me, huh?

    Pedantic? You were completely wrong so let’s get our facts straight when bashing our team.

    Yes. Pedantic. The fact that you felt the need to correct me about Zach Lavine's pecking order in the Bulls' scoring per game list .... is pedantic.

    Pedantic is when you go after minor details. DeRozen and White leading the team in scoring is not a minor detail. You should just say you were wrong without criticizing me. You can’t handle it, I guess.

    And the Pistons just beat OKC. That doesn't mean either team is good relative to the rest of the NBA.

    Don't play dense.

    The Bulls are a trainwreck. We have more talent than them. And the point still stands.

    So was Monta Ellis for the Warriors...

    Some good offensive players are not conducive to winning. Check CJ McCollum.
