Despite the Knicks best efforts to hand this game away, they came out with a win

knicks decided to double giddey every time yet bulls decided to let brunson and kat do whatever the fuck they wanted

Two minutes left in the game don’t worry the Bulls can take it from here…

I don’t think it’s possible to out-tank the Bulls right now. They are trying to lose games at mass effect. They literally started benching players that would start scoring against the Nets (another tanking team) and out-tanked the freaking Nets.

I love watching Kat care more about the win than anybody else on the court every game and then coming on twitter and seeing people calling him a soft ass pussy who will never know what it feels like to win cuz he’s a big dumb bitch and we should trade him for Giannis

Not saying he’s perfect, because he has struggled this season and does have flaws, but the narratives surrounding him might be some of the most tired and exhausting in the league, not even getting into the more nasty implications of it all

His whistle and the commentary about him and his game borders on hate crime

Edit: He’s A Truly Elite Offensive Big Man who really cares about winning and plays his heart out. Fuck Walt Frazier

Not to discredit your happiness, but playing against a tanking team helps. Bulls are trying to lose games intentionally going as far as benching their scoring players vs the Nets (another tanking team!) to guarantee a loss.

Outtanking the Nets peeps a light on the level of competition they are at.

You are grossly underestimating the Knicks’ ability to play down to the level of their opponents lol. We’ve lost to the Pacers, Kings, and Mavs this year we are more than capable of losing to terrible teams

Bulls are purposely tossing games at the end though. To have even a chance to lose to that means that your team is also tanking. Knicks aren’t tanking.

They sure weren’t benching their best guys against us. I do think some teams reserve their true tanking for when they’re playing against other tanking teams to try and “beat” them in the standings. Bulls also have very little space to move in the draft order. There’s only 3 teams they realistically are competing for position with, Grizz, Mavs, and Bucks. Bucks maybe will see religion and realize their best move is to tank as well, but maybe Giannis insists they still try and compete. Mavs and Grizz and a 3 game “lead” on the Bulls which is gonna be hard to close with both of them also in tank mode.

Thank you KAT. Our tank wouldn’t have survived without you.

Hart’s dribble out was honestly hysterical. The most “oh they’re just not gonna foul” dribble ever

Bulls are finally tanking. Now the franchise can go in a good direction after all these years

Their roster construction is so mangled right now. They need to fix that up in the offseason big time

jdaqcruz | Bulls

That’s why we have a million expiring contracts and max cap space to go after (according to rumors) guys like Eason and Watson from Denver. Wings to pair with Josh and Matas. We’re also hoping to get the Blazers’ first (if they make the Playoffs) to pair with out expected top 10 pick

TiberiusTheThrowaway

2 | 18 hours ago

Our only consensus seems to be keep Giddey and Matas… but now people are worried we’re putting too much stock in Matas’ potential.

If this tank doesn’t land us something good, it might be the most disappointing Bulls season since D. Rose got injured.

jdaqcruz | Bulls

5 | 18 hours ago

Even if we don’t move up. There’s always someone you can get in the top 10. I just need us to draft someone who can get buckets and not a development guy. Wagler is looking good

True. I’m just trying to be ready for when i expect nothing, yet am still disappointed.
