My son already put an asterisk on this Bulls win saying “the only way you can win us is if curry gets hurt and Draymond fouls out.” Whatever man, I’m taking this win with a smile.

Man, they proved me wrong. With the skeleton crew and the post-Allstar schedule I predicted a painful stretch of mostly losses. And every game they keep gutting it out and winning with an old school grit that is fun to see.

What a wild and unpredictable, for both good and bad, ride this season has been. Crazy as hell.

Huge win again, keep em coming. C'mon Bulls!

I think you should ground him.

He’ll thank you when he’s older.

I get the point. But to me top 6 seems pretty set: Celtics, Bucks, Cavs, Magic, Knicks, Heat.

Philly will continue to decline, and we'll probably go as high as 8 at best.

I got to give credit to Coach Billy. He has the Bulls playing hard even with all the injuries

Nice

A lot of us have issues with Billy's in game adjustments (or lack thereof) but this team is tough as hell.

Motivation is not an issue with this squad.

I'm not aguifs level pessimistic but I'm down there on this roster, coach, FO and ownership.

I will happily root for this squad I doubted so hard on, and avoided polluting this forum with more downer energy. Hell ya and I'll munch on that crow every game when they get wins like this. Wish I hadn't been working to see it.

Go Bulls. Imagine if we had 70 million worth of production not in street clothes!

Well, now the Bulls are 26-18 since the Nov 28 Celtics loss (Zach's last official game as the 2nd option). That's .590.

Julian Phillips should play more

That would be the case had we had some size in the front court and that Zach trade had went thru

Got to admit, I'm surprised these guys are winning these games. Kudos to them for grinding out these wins.

I don't think they'll make the playoffs, but they certainly are trying their God damn hardest.

This team for all its flaws does play with a lot of heart.

I know we can't win a title with this team, but it's fun to root for them.

DeMar is on an unfathomable tear right now. These three west coast road wins and his play/role in them feel as miraculous/big as his back to back game winners.

Tonight … whew… that And-1 was as good as any buzzer beater you could have. Dude is a baller. I’d be interested in really ranking him amongst his peers across/really overlapping with his career.

Without even really thinking I feel like I’d say he’s safely top 15? (That’s probably shocking and too high for most … but I think there’s probably more of an argument than most would initially think).

His Bulls career has been really fantastic. He deserves way more wins!

This. I'm one of Billy's biggest critic on this board. But I have to say his creativity is maxing out the personnel has been night and day compared to the last 2.5 years. Some notables:
- Playing Drummond more
- Playing Drummond and Vuc together
- Playing Windy City guys like Bitim, Philips, Dalen

It's probably seems trivial, but we're a little less predictable with bigger rotation. And younger legs give opponents a good run.

I think Coby and Ayo's impact as team catalyst are underrated. Two way guys, who are unselfish and can carry the offense on some nights.

What. A. Game.

What a memory with my son!
