I made a comment about how the Bull were finally moving on the right direction and I doubt they’ll be in the Play-In.

I was so, so wrong.

6-1, but yeah.

Of their past 4 games, they’ve lost to the Pelicans (3-17), Hornets (6-14), Pacers (4-16), and barely slipped past the Wizards (2-16) lmao

Serious question. What happened?

Veserius | NBA

1 | an hour ago

They were just getting lucky. Opponents were shooting like 25% from 3 which wasn’t going to keep up, and Giddey was shooting way over his talent level.

Giddey first 7 games 23.1PPg on 49.⁶⁄₄₁.⁹⁄₇₅ splits

since he’s 18.7 PPG on 44.⁷⁄₃₇.⁵⁄₇₄ splits.

Buzelis also started hot from 3.

And then Jerry will spend the next 3 years trying to build around this core thinking 6-0 was how it always was going to be.

DisMFer | Bulls

Jerry is dead and has been for years. He doesn’t give a fuck who is on the team or even if they win. All he cares about is getting enough money to pay the Reaper to avoid having his soul dragged to Hell.

Jec1027 | Warriors

Bulls treating giddey like a roleplayer instead of giving him a high usage rate and telling him to take every shot. Its clear hes their only hope but instead they take dumb shots or dont pass to him. Its frustrating to watch honestly.

OwnABMWImBetterThanU | Pistons

19 | 2 days ago

He only takes 15 shots a game. Pretty crazy considering the rest of the team

Bulls below .500 first time this season, lost to three of the 5 worst teams in the league B2B2B lol

BabyLeVert | Nets

could of been B2B2B2B, their 1 point win in overtime against the Wizards was the game before it lol

bigtice | Rockets

27 | 2 days ago

Felt like Siakam didn’t even realize it was a game winner when he made that shot – was just jogging back to get ready to play defense.

BabyLeVert | Nets

23 | 2 days ago

Bulls have to be studied, their rise and fall is dramatic as it gets. loss to utah, hornets, pelicans and pacers and a 1 point overtime win against wizards the past 3 games

There are always teams that start out strong and then fall off a cliff.

TooCozy21 | Lakers

4 | 2 days ago

They don’t have a main guy that slows the game down so they are always in a drag race and their defense isn’t good enough to do that. It was gonna happen after those first few weeks once teams started locking in.

giddey needs some fucking help.

everyone around him can’t shoot the fucking ball and can’t defend, the two things he needs to be surrounded by

Constant_Charge_4528 | Bulls

7 | 2 days ago

We really need to get some defence, our team has Vuc and Coby who can get hot but man our defence is horrid. Every time someone drives into the paint it’s either free throws or a layup

Yeah how dare you be excited your favorite team is doing well. You should be ashamed of yourself. Loser behavior

giddey is still playing pretty solid tbf.

everyone else around him are just shit now

Constant_Charge_4528 | Bulls

9 | 2 days ago

Isn’t Giddey still averaging close to a triple double? Our bench guys fell off, they were outscoring teams by something silly like 50-20 earlier.

Fantastic-Boot-684 | Bulls

8 | 2 days ago

Give Giddey more usage jeez. Just give him the ball and cut to the inside. Y’all are not the Warriors with the 3 point shoots

It cannot be overstated how thrilled the White Sox fan part of me is that there is an official end date to Jerry and the Reinsdorfs ownership of that team.

Unfortunately for the Bulls…

Everything according to plan. Perfectly on track for 39 wins.

DisMFer | Bulls

This collapse can be summed up very easily. Billy Donavan is the Matt Eberflus of Jim Boylens. The man clearly has no scheme in place or any system beyond “give the ball to a guard, high PnR, pass to the outside and take contested shots.”

Same thing he did with Zach and DeMar. Same thing he did with Russ and PG13.

This team won and can really only win, if there is a bunch of off-ball movement, cuts to the basket, and strong interior play. Instead he has all the players sitting around the 3-point line like a bunch of dickheads so they can take shitty 3s every possession.

The Bulls had to bring up a bunch of G-League guys due to injury and those guys played with heart and speed and focused on getting inside the arc and giving guys like Giddey easy passes for lay-ups. These are also the guys who didn’t get coached by Billy.
