I think if we have PWill and Craig tonight this is a win without Zach. We don’t have the bodies for an effective small ball lineup right now.

It's not Demar's fault that everybody else is just ball watching. They know Demar is going to get trapped.

Demar got greedy with just under 8 minutes in the 4th left.

He’s about Demar right now.

Yup, fools gold with no future. A passable young starter in Coby who may still be best suited as a high level 6th man or as a shooting guard next to a true pg who plays pg only in spots…. And no one else that is both young and even quasi proven.

Bulls hit rock bottom and did a rubble bounce up… but as things get serious… this is not a good team.

True, but only because AKME made that ridiculous NBA2K trade in the first place the doubled down on it with the extension basically to avoid embarrassment.

And so does he… so, any adjustment by the vet or the supposedly good coach? It’s all someone else’s fault?

Coby looks completely disinterested, he knows it's veteran time.

I disagree on your view about Coby. He's better than high level 6th man. He's not the type that would dominate plays and try to take over by himself. At least that's not how he's being asked to play on this team.

But this team is very limited with offensive scheme only relying on DeMar iso, Vuc bail out (this is just stupid he's not a bail out option), and random ball movements.

At the end of the day, losses like this, where opponent 3rd stringers pull away (and the bad opposing team that isn’t trying was still missing two starters) is a good thing. The sooner management can’t get away from the reality of the dumpster fire they created. The sooner things can theoretically begin to turn around. You have to hit rock bottom - they need to not have LaVine to blame - have the failure be on “their guys.”

It’s small, but an adjustment was just made. Coby, not Vuc, set the pick for Demar. That’s smart! Finally an adjustment!
