Solid W
Good things happen when you feed Vuc! An ugly win, but a win nonetheless!
It’s so over > we’re so back
.500 ball at its finest. Good W boys.
Good win
# BEEP BEEP
So 3 things:
1. Do they fine Hield for a flop the next day for his fall on the shot?
2. Should I recommend him an ankle specialist for having weak ass fuck ankles?
3. Or do I just move on to the next game?
Either way, **BEEP BEEP**
Back to .500
Nice to see them close out a tight game
Never in doubt!
Good win. Fully expecting a stinker on Wednesday now. I will not be fooled anymore. I am familiar with their game
Beating the Pacers always feels good. Suck a lemon Reggie Miller wherever you are! BEEP BEEP!
PDub gon get some more run if that Craig injury is a concussion (sure looked like it)
Intense match, Bulls still play sloppy in the 4th but damnit we got a W.
Lots of bitching how we lose before this game. How you like that naysayers!?
Bulls attempted 17 3’s
Indiana attempted 46 3’s
Bulls may never lose again
Note: When demar leads the team in assists. We get the win 🤣
Good battle
Big win. No one shot well and we still pulled it out. Also big yoyo from 3pa. Made they said after the first 3 games, lets not be like everyone else.
Wow that was a painful watch. Take that W though!
17 3 point attempts. A season low. Plus back to the your turn, my turn iso hero ball from DeMar and Zach, with no one else cutting and everyone just standing around.
Back to our mid ways.
WAS THAT EGGHEAD ON THE PACERS BENCH?
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I feel like we play better when we don’t shoot as many 3’s, we are a better low volume but higher % 3 pnt team, don’t get me wrong, if we are hot and hitting 3;s then I’m all for it, but I don’t think we should be making a concerted effort to shoot 3’s just for the sake of it
Good win, also nice to see Vooch stepping up when LaVinr and DeMar had nothing 75% of this game.
Hopefully Craig and Coby are OK with all the headshots they took today.
Kendall said we found our identity today.. so ugly wins with low 3pt attempts? 😂. Stacey right though, no point forcing the 3, we should be able to get heaps more looks with drive and kicks.
Our big 3 showed up tonight. Great stretch there in the 4th with multiple buckets in a row.
Monster game from Vucevic. Also, though Lavine and DeRozan both struggled from the field, they were both aggressive drawing fouls and getting to the basket in the 4th. Of course, the great defense from Caruso, Dosunmu, Craig, and Carter was huge, too. Carter, White, and even Williams provided a little scoring to help out. Glad to see this team finally playing to its strengths a little bit.
Frustrating at many times but still a solid W beating a competitive team on the road. Nice to see a “clutch” time win too.
I disagree with everyone on NBC Chicago telecast liking we only took 17 3s, we’re obviously not elite at shooting but we can’t give up on running a more modern offense 3 games in.
BUDDY HIELD A BITCH IN CHICAGO
Didn’t catch the first half so I didn’t see if Pat was better, but I saw him do that one cut into a dunk, and I’d like to see more of that.
Pacers shot 26% on 46 3PA and I guess it’s nice to see other teams go through it.
Good game. Played well tonight.
Solid W. That’s all that matters
Take em however we can get em
We shot thirty less threes and still won, bulls prove once and for all we’re better than math!
Nice win, especially after some of the losses we had against them last season
Hope the Mavs rest Luka 😂
Lol I’ve never seen Zach get that mad, good win all round (still blow it up tho)
Play through Vuc and you win
LWLWulls
This is the identity, hard nose hard fought, tough win.
Another .500 season incoming
The secret to the Bulls winning every game this season is me betting against them and I will gladly lose that money every single game
The great Patrick Williams with 9 points and 4 rebounds! Can’t wait to hear about how he’s the future of the franchise after that GREAT performance!
