Outside of Wizards' final shot, they did everything possible to give the Bulls the game in the 4th. This was a no excuse game as the Wizards were without Beal. I agree Donovan has to go, for the reasons already stated plus his refusal to develop Williams. No one knows if he can play because he has empty minutes. He's not blameless of course, the least he can do is board. 4 a game, with how this team is set up, is pathetic.

Do good basketball teams, blow games against the Wizards? Just Asking A Question?

You don't watch the Bulls. Why do you care?

I agree. Williams needs to glass more and Donovan needs to go. Their record against sub .500 teams is putrid and so is record in close games. Their 4th quarter offense sucks and his dedication to small ball is killing the team. They are much better than their record shows. And the way the NBA is today you don't have to be a "great team" in order to win. That is why I brought up Markannen. I agree I got it wrong on him but I'm just a dude on a message board. AK isn't and neither is Billy D. The kid is signed on a "team friendly" deal and playing like an All NBA player and we gave him a away for Derrick Fucking Jones. That is inexcusable. He also could have a Brunson (who I told people was better than Lonzo last year when Lonzo was playing) for the same price as Lonzo. Also inexcusable.

Quit ducking and answer the question

You don't watch the team play thus it is a waste of time. Answer your question. You don't care about the team. Remember?

The best part of that was watching the reaction of Vuc, Caruso and White in the replay the video. Caruso in particular was all alone behind the line looking for the pass and then looking dumbfound while watching the play unfold.

Of course. He's a fucking idiot. Everyone except for him knows DeRozan is the best player and the guy who should take the last shot. Lavine will pass up a wide open Caruso to get you 2 when you need 3. That must be worth $200M.

yea that was brutal. i thought maybe they might take an easy 2 and hope the wizards miss a free throw, but that would have left like 1 second on the clock. i knew they had to try for 3. everyone knew it. caruso was magically wide open. obviously lavine thought he was going to get a call, but you dont rely on fucking refs at that moment in a game. get the god damn ball in the hoop.

Supposedly Billy D left OKC because he didn't want to be part of a rebuild. Well OKC (whom the Bulls play tonight) has the exact same record as the Bulls even though their first pick has not played one second this season with the team tanking this season anyway.

Lavine is more of a problem than Donovan.

Actually it is. OKC and MY ORLANDO MAGIC are about to do BIG THINGS IN THE LEAGUE.

Nah at best they are Coequals as problems. Donovan lets him do whatever he wants. He wouldn't dare pull that bullshit with guys like Udoka and Popovich. Or Rick Carlisle or Steve Kerr either.

Your Orlando Magic? You're late to the party, pal. I gave them a toast 2 weeks ago.

I must have missed that. My guy Fultz is back and balling out, Banchero is a stud and Franz Wagner is the goods. They are must see TV for me these days. Bol Bol has even been balling this year. Why AK didn't pick him up off the scrap heap I will never know. He could have had him for a song and a bird but instead he would rather have Javonte Green and his endless "energy" and the high flying trampoline act that is Derrick Jones.

_________________

I know. They're loaded. They are also saying down there that Fultz is a 1st team NBA all defense.

Yeah he has made a difference since the moment he came back this year. Solid defender and he can get in the lane with ease. I wonder what Isaac will have for them this year when he comes back but they have a real logjam in the Frontcourt now. Especially will Bol Bol coming on. The Bulls should actually try and holler at them about Bamba or Bol Bol. They could use either one of them and the Magic might need a backcourt guy to come off the bench or a solid 2 guard type (Though I do think it is too early to give up on Suggs) to play with Fultz. They are a real intriguing team and so is OKC. SGA is the truth and I like Josh Giddey also.

I was thinking before the draft Big Mo was going to be there for the Bulls. It was not even close.

Yeah, 16-26, that's a real juggernaut they got going down there in Orlando!

Caller Bob acting as an aficionado for another team he clearly does not watch play. Troll On! Troll On!

_________________

Yeah. I still think the kid has value but he obviously isn't in there long term plans.

Started off 5-20, Bob.

Yep. There were lot of guys out early but there is no way for Bob to know that. As "WE" well know, he doesn't watch the games.

Oh, so those games don't count?

Just like 5 years of Lauri don't count...Wait, they DO count.

Did 2-3 starters missing and 2-3 bench players missing also not count? Or did you simply not know this as you were conducting your "research"? Just Asking Questions.

When the regular season ends do you think the Magic can petition thr NBA to throw out their fist twenty games and let them in the playoffs? Just Asking A Question

Team records being impacted by key players that happen to be injured is such a new and rather novel concept. Who Knew?
