  1. Bilbodabag

    Gonna enjoy this win as much as I can before the inevitable loss to the Rockets on Saturday

  2. CoolVito

    We’re consistently inconsistent, but tonight felt damn good!

  3. skeletor1996

    Well YouTube tv reactivating again I guess lmao

  4. ChiraqJimbo187

    This is BS if we played like this for a fraction more of the season we be contenders. They could’ve played like this way more smh

  5. Duplicity-

    Totally expected normal W, nothing to see here tbh

  6. GucciGump

    Did we just blow out Denver on their home court?

  7. Petition for Zach’s family to be at every game from now on pls

  8. Bleachighost

    Lmao, omg the let’s go bulls chant at Denvers home court, representing!

  9. Fingerbanger9000

    Let’s goo we beat the best team in the leaguuuueeee (loses to rockets)

  10. Petricorde1

    It was so obvious to me that we were gonna win the game in the first quarter when we were down 10-4 I downloaded a betting app and put 5 bucks on the Bulls moneyline. Idk what it is about this team but I was legitimately certain that we would win this.

  11. fawfulsgalaxy

    this is why the bulls are going to be the most dangerous play in team in the history of the NBA. only good teams in the playoffs, which is great for us

  12. thisguy012

    That was Vuc with his agent he shared with Nikola right??

  13. Mundane_Pineapple_46

    Play this way against bad teams as well. Don’t take your foot off the accelerator. Games like this are the reason the team is so frustrating. We know they can play like this, yet they so rarely do.

  14. illyxpink

    We better not turn around and lose to the fucking rockets now lmao

  15. RobertoRosalesFTW

    MAN, THIS TEAM IS A GODDAMN HEADACHE…

    I got 3 things to say:

    • I don’t wanna hear anybody talking shit on Zach, this guy is ELITE scorer and it would be a shame if we didn’t offer him a max contract

    • We’re gonna get a beast next season in PWill if his progress will continue in this fashion, straight dawg tonight. Would keep him runnin’ with the second unit for a while now since freedom he gets is obviously good for his confidence

    • It’s a shame that Coby, considering what a solid player he’s evolving to be, seemingly has restriction on the amount of shots he can take. He is a volume shooter that needs freedom in order to get hot and excel. With enough freedom, he’s gonna be a helluva 6th man next season. We must re-sign him.

    Great game overall, and even if we don’t have many chances, I would rather compete for a playoff spot than tank for a pick that we probably are not gonna get.

  16. ayeeflo51

    Chat moving so fast no one will see my pp is hard

  17. astrobeen

    Fuck this season, but this was an entertaining basketball game.

  18. SeahawksHacker

    Patrick Williams played from the 6 minutes mark of the 3rd to the end of the game and we won by 15.. the only good thing about him being benched is him and Coby are now connected with minutes and they look so good together..

  19. halfcastdota

    feels like forever since we’ve had a good game from all 3 of zach, demar and vuc at the same time

  20. Westcoastchi

    All jokes aside, we needed this game more than the Nuggets did (as they seem pretty well locked into the 1st seed) and I think it ended up that way although it took some time to marinate. Great nights from Zach and Pat.

  21. Neonplantz

    Not to overreact, but we may never lose again

  22. bigpoppapetey

    Oh no, we don’t suck again? This team my god

  23. Al3xPKeaton

    That Zach hammer dunk was straight fire.

  24. GopherGrabber

    Lmao, people are calling Billy an elite coach in the Nuggets thread.

  25. dapianna

    This team can beat anybody but also lose to anybody

  26. CallMe_DeaconBlues

    Was there tonight. A “Green Bay sucks” chant exploded after. I love Chicago. Bought half season tix to hopefully make money on the playoffs, the Nuggets sucked so bad tonight. Loved seeing PWill get after it. Zach was angry, angry at the crowd and the refs as always. This is the way.

  27. Bestinthect

    How PAW go 8 of 9!!!!! And only have 9 shots, I’m sick. I’m happy with the W and PAW getting comfy

  28. ToeJelly420

    All i know is that Pat had better be one of the top three scoring options on the team next year

  29. hankbaumbachjr

    What was that little verbal dust up between Demar and the Denver bench in the 1st half?

    It was after that super late whistle and Deebo must have done something because DeAndre Jordan and a few other Nugs popped up and started asking for a tech(?) Deebo laughed at them and said something but I missed the initial incidient.

  30. WayMoreClassier

    I was there chanting for the Bulls ❤️🖤 what a game!
