This. So much this. The three wins vs. Hornets and Rockets have been masking the fact that we're back to underachieving team.

I mean, Ayo has been decent. 6-7 from the field. Carter has actually been a disaster, even though he has hit 4 3s. 3 turnovers and 5-12 from the field.

Coby too has been nonexistent, but Zach feel free to join the game.

Second game in a row where we just completely fall apart in the second half. This is getting really bad.


Zach def needs to be more aggressive but I want to see timely good shots.


Sometimes you just have to make a shot like he just did. Spurs are funneling all the shots to our worse options. They will let him pas to Vuc and Drummond all night.

Throwing absolute garbage at the basket and it’s going in every time. What can you do

This will easily be the worst loss of the season. Up 18 in the third to a bottom 2 team in the league missing their best player.

At least it hopefully reinforces to AKME that the mid 3 need to be broken up ASAP and wins against helpless team don’t mask the massive issues.

Vooch loses the rebound 1 on 1 against a stick figure and Stacey says we need to rebound as a team. That rebound was a gimme if he boxes out

I agree. I don't want it to be 80% of his shots like usual tho. But it's perfect situation for Zach to do his thing

Vuc is legit giving whoever drives an escort to the basket

Bulls defence react to pick and Rolls and attacking the centre like the scene in Semi Pro when they throw the first Alley Oop.

Vucevic got bailed out. That was an awful call on Mamu

And they made up for it by hitting Zach as he goes through a moving screen
