ROTY. Flagg ain’t even suiting up nowadays. We need to stop pretending like they are close

anonymoususer6407 | Rockets

9 | 7 hours ago

It’s gonna be a Bron-Melo situation again. Knueppel is gonna pull Charlotte back into the playoffs. But, Flagg has the narrative and him living up to his hype is gonna close that margin.

NBA will probably value Flagg’s legacy more since ROTY is the only award that you have one shot at.

why are we pretending they are close? they are close. kon is incredible but his shot diet is wildly easier than flagg’s, plus flagg has all-defence upside compared to kon who gets hunted. they are close.

Kon does not get hunted lmao imbecile

shangalang69 | Raptors

well i watched him get hunted in all 4 of our games this season so i was going off that

After a decade it’s nice to be on the other side of those “close 1st half, out of reach at the end of the 3rd” type games

Ares9719

27 | 8 hours ago

Legit. I still threw on all the games even during the dog days of JT Thor and co, knowing that by the 3rd we were getting buried under a 20+ lead. This is like seeing that light at the end of the tunnel

Nice Buzelis game. Otherwise, sheesh

iron_atmosphere | Hornets

29 | 8 hours ago

Buzelis looks nice

AlmostHereButNot | Bulls

8 | 7 hours ago

If we nuked the entire team except for Buzelis, I would sleep happy. He’s a truly solid player. He played his ass off tonight, but it was for nothing. I want him to succeed. But our ownership is too incompetent to realize we need to build around him.

YizWasHere | Hornets

16 | 8 hours ago

Buzelis was a problem lmao, if he makes anywhere near the amount of progress from year 1 to year 2 next season then he’s a borderline All-Star.

TruWarierRecords | CHI

1 | 8 hours ago

If he gets a bit stronger in the half court setting and can get to the line more he’ll definitely push for low tier all star level.

EightFortyDaysOf

Too bad he has no team around him. Count on the bulls to always disappoint

YizWasHere | Hornets

Giddey is at least something, maybe Ivey becomes something. It’s not great but it could be worse.

Full_Durian_8171

9 | 8 hours ago

giddey should be sitting the rest of the season, it’s pretty evident he still hasn’t recovered from his injury.

giddey + buzelis with a shit ton of cap space is a solid foundation, only problem is the the dude in charge AK is complete terrorist

PenisIsAVirtue

5 | 8 hours ago

It’s legit just Matas, Giddey, Tre, and maybe Smith & Okoro. I have hopes for Noa, Jaden, and Rob though.

Lopsided_Duty_5531 | Bulls

With lottery luck or just keeping the losing streak going maybe we can get into the top 6 of the draft too

GeneralTheSurvivor | Bulls

Count on the Hawks to go 41-41 no matter what happens.

Historical_Tip_6347

1 | 4 hours ago

The team itself had and still has pieces they could tinkered with to make an actually competitive team down the line, but it’s the bulls so they will likely mess the execution up.

ToughExpert2174

1 | 5 hours ago

He looked solid out there, but man the rest of that game was rough to watch. Bulls just had nothing going.

ALL HAIL OUR HORNET OVERLORDS

ElectricalBank6411 | Hornets

23 | 7 hours ago

Feel bad for the bulls fans that they’ve gotta deal with this nonsense. Everything they do is 2-3 years too late, egregious overpay on Vuc to later sell him, Coby, Ayo, Caruso, and Lavine for a bunch of nothing.

And of course in a draft with AJ DP Boozer and Wilson (or missing out on Flagg’s class last year) they have the fakest 5-0 start ever and decide to join the tanking club in game 50 instead of the start of the year like everyone else to maybe get the 7th best odds. Just to lose the 60+ games they should’ve planned to lose this year or last year next year in a draft class so weak the Wizards and Jazz have sped up their timeline to avoid it.

Please buy my guy Sexton out he doesn’t deserve this

AlmostHereButNot | Bulls

14 | 7 hours ago

We appreciate your sympathy. This shit blows.

jdaqcruz | Bulls

10 game losing streak. Only two games back from the Mavs for the 7th spot. Hell yeah. Need the Blazers to make the Playoffs too (we have their pick, lottery protected)

DiscoLemonade1995

6 | 7 hours ago

How the hell did you guys start the season 5-0?

jdaqcruz | Bulls

6 | 7 hours ago

Good shooting and perfect health. The team was so dependent on every single available rotational player playing, so when a single player is out, it couldn’t handle it

nightrunner900pm

3 | 6 hours ago

because it was only 5 games.

back to back games where we stank it up in the first half but still finish with 25 made 3s lol

aiden3buckets | Hornets

10 | 8 hours ago

This dude Josh Giddey came off a screen, twerked on his defender to keep him on his back, looked around for a few seconds, and ultimately got stripped what felt like 10 times

Also I feel bad for Colin bro, they should buy him out or something ngl

Full_Durian_8171

8 | 8 hours ago

well because the thing is, he used to have vuc as his roller so he could just feed him as vuc had a pretty cash floater & could also stretch to the 3 for open looks

now his roller is nick fucking richards who has 0 offensive game so his just getting caught with no real passing opportunity

spookyghostface | Hornets

6 | 7 hours ago

Man alive I’m glad we got rid of Nick. Suns fans were singing his praises after a couple big games but I think they learned quick.

bullpaw | Bulls

Horrendous terrible player

Historical_Tip_6347

-1 | 4 hours ago

Idk. I like Richard’s game a lot better tbh. Of course he’s not as good offensively, but he does the little things Vooch was lazy af at doing such as fighting for offensive boards, actually defending and not letting players literally stroll past him.

twotonkatrucks | Spurs

Hold onto that young man Hornets, he’s a franchise player in the making.

AlmostHereButNot | Bulls

10 | 7 hours ago

I kept saying “why are we tanking now? it’s too late to tank”, but nah, apparently, it wasn’t too late. I wasn’t expecting this level of tank. 10 in a row is nasty work. Keep it up, boys.

Historical_Tip_6347

2 | 4 hours ago

It’s probably the best time to tank considering Adam silver is trying to set anti tanking measures in place pretty soon

AlmostHereButNot | Bulls

1 | 3 hours ago

It’s absolutely the best time to tank now that I know we really CAN lose effectively. Knowing that the first few picks in the upcoming draft could end up being franchise players for whatever teams they get drafted to… the Bulls need that. Desperately. Next season’s draft is less quality than this upcoming one. If we’re going to tank, it’s now or never. Full speed ahead.

efrumttr | Bulls

7 | 8 hours ago

Every game that I watch him, I get more and more incredulous that Minnesota gave up an unprotected pick and swap for Dillingham. What in god’s name did Connelly see lmao

bullpaw | Bulls

6 | 7 hours ago

Honestly it’s hard to predict that he would completely lose his ability to shoot or even score at all

He shot 44% from three on 5 attempts a game at Kentucky, many of which were from nba range and off the dribble. He can barely hit rim anymore it’s really weird

efrumttr | Bulls

1 | 4 hours ago

Maybe, but I don’t really see any other above-average skills beyond shooting. So even if he finds a jump shot idk what his value is.

aiden3buckets | Hornets

3 | 7 hours ago

If his jumper still worked he wouldn’t be as bad, now he has this little leg kick out hitch thing going on, it is ugly

Jordanwolf98 | Celtics

Remember in October when Giddey looked like a franchise player

PrimeTimeInc | Hornets

17 | 8 hours ago

Giddey is definitely not the issue with that team

Jordanwolf98 | Celtics

1 | 8 hours ago

I don’t think he is either, but in his last 20 games he’s at 15/8/6 on 43/33/79 splits and a true shooting of 54.7%. It’s just a steep drop in how he looked to start the season

jdaqcruz | Bulls

13 | 8 hours ago

He’s been in and out with an injury, and he was pretty good in our system, but injuries and trading half the team has wrecked everything lmao

LaMelonBallz | Hornets

5 | 7 hours ago

Moose took his soul today

Sent that man straight to the bench

Full_Durian_8171

1 | 8 hours ago

it’s pretty evident he still isn’t 100% and is playing through injury.

he should be sitting

flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

1 | 8 hours ago

Yeah but the Bulls front office was talking like they found the franchise guy. He’s good, but he’s more of a secondary star that supports your main star

jdaqcruz | Bulls

6 | 7 hours ago

But he’s getting paid with Naz Reid money. So he has good value

flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

1 | 7 hours ago

For sure, and he’s a good piece to start with. But they need a main star, perhaps a goddamn forward or center instead of another guard

ChiBrum

1 | 3 hours ago

Brother he’s coming back from a decently long injury to a completely new team that is hot ass in comparison what the fuck are you actually talking about

flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

1 | 33 minutes ago

Do you believe Josh Giddey can lead a team to a successful post season?

gargoyleboy69 | Bulls

3 | 8 hours ago

If that GM ends up having a chance to get Acuff, Flemings, or Brown Jr. and passes because they have Giddey at point… man.

Jordanwolf98 | Celtics

1 | 7 hours ago

That’s what I’m thinking. The guards in this draft are just too good. I supported the Coby White move, but I think they should’ve considered moving Giddey too because those guys are just amazing. All 3 are awesome playmakers and shooters, a team with Giddey running the show will always be limited because of his inability to shoot

prostatewhispers1 | Hornets

5 | 8 hours ago

I am so happy

BattleFresh003

3 | 7 hours ago

For anyone saying LaMelo isn’t a winning player, please note that he almost always has the best +/- in the team even when shooting poorly. He was by far the worst shooter in the starting lineup and even then he was +7 better than the next player.

Fantastic-Boot-684 | Bulls

1 | 5 hours ago

Well the Bulls got no frontcourt

Now tank harder. Let Giddey recover for the rest of the season as well.

The Charlotte Hornets (27-31) defeat the Chicago Bulls (24-34), 131-99.
