Vooch sucks
Breh Caruso finished with +24 lmao he single handly kept them in the game
My biological father may have left me but it’s okay, Alex Caruso is my dad now.
Every single one of the starters should be fucking embarrassed (all had negative +/- going into OT & bailed by bench throughout regulation). Not only did he basically 1v5 on defense (while being the main guy on KD), but he did his thing on offense too. God I hate this fucking team
I would love to know why an NBA head coach thought it was a good idea to call an iso with 7 seconds left
Devastated. So damn sad for wasting that Caruso performance…
Lavine would have been worth every penny if he woulda dunked that!
That was a tough one. The offense in crunch time just isn’t good enough.
Caruso deserved rhat
No matter what anyone might say, Alex Caruso went out there and fought like a warrior tonight. Dude was the only reason we had a chance.
hello darkness my old friend
One of the most Bulls games/endings of all time
Continuity!
Brutal. Just brutal.
Derozan threw so hard….
MVP for this game was obviously Caruso. He was the best player on the court tonight. DeMar said no tho 😭
Bald eagle deserves better bro
Vuc turnover and Derozen terrible shot selection to end the game with an easy chance to win.
Embarrassing effort and terrible coaching from Billy yet again.
Unbelievable
Free Carushow T_T
So we’ve wasted:
* LaVine 50 pt game
* Vooch 20-20 game
* AC masterclass 🙁
I thought it was going to be a blow-out though when I saw how badly we started.. good effort to stay competitive
Why the fuck is it that we can’t draw up a real play at the end of a game
Even worse, WHY WAS VUC IN THE CORNER SO NOBODY WOULD GET A REBOUND
Edit: either Donovan is a dumbass for that or DeMar is dumb for not trying to drive the lane. Probably both.
I hate this fucking team. I’ve been a fan for some terrible Bulls’ teams but I specifically hate this one the most for some reason. Just a non enjoyable brand of basketball led by 3 one-way playing “all stars”. We legit rely on a generational bench defensive first player to stay in games. The team is filled with career losers. Even when they play well you have a feeling they’re going to find a way to lose. I’m just defeated as a fan. Its been tough times since the ACL and this team was the cherry on top.
These types of games just reinforce my blow it up stance. You just don’t win close games with the mid 3. They aren’t winning players.
That was soooo close. That hurts me down to the core of my soul.
Vooch is an ALL TIME soft big man. He has no passion for the game and I’m tired of seeing his dopey ass.
outside of Lonzo’s injury, the worst thing to happen to this bulls team was demars stretch scoring run and his two buzzer beaters. All Billy knows is throw the ball to demar and hope he gets a foul on a horrendous shot.
Tough loss, but probably most fun game of the season, due to Caruso.
I didn’t realize Craig had that rough of a night, sheesh
P Will showed be can also suck from the bench
Build around Caruso
It should’ve been Lavine
Alex Fucking Caruso man, he’s the X factor for a winning team. He deserved that win. Not the bulls, just Caruso and Jevon Carter. Zach lavine trash losing the ball twice in crunch time.
You don’t let Grayson MF Allen hit 9 three pointers and expect to win this game. Lucky this even went to OT. Damnit!
Yeah that one hurt. Lot of good moments and highly entertaining game but as it’s consistently been, this team continues to fall short. AC deserves better.
Billy donovan knows that the last possesion doesnt need to be a ISO , right?
Its the same shit.
And it was in okc too.
Just iso durant and westbrook.
Think the game would’ve been better if the Bulls weren’t down 26-4 in the first 5 min of the first quarter. Comeback was impressive but they fell short.
Zach, DeMar, and Vuc are dreadful together, unless they specifically have Caruso + a defender who moves off-ball with them. I’m curious about Carter + Craig starting, but I don’t hate Coby getting more experience.
We need a PF and we need to move on from DeMar,
We might get more trading Caruso than we’d get with Vooch or DeRozan lol
Literally cut PWill
Why the fuck wasn’t drummond in the game as at least a decoy when you know you need a lob?
That was fun, still blow it up at the deadline tho
