Man , seeing this team play so quickly and competently on both ends is almost mind bending.

Nice first half. Long way to against a good team at home, though.

It's astonishing to me how well the Bulls are playing. Road games against the West over the past 2 weeks -

Beat Pelicans
Beat Kings
Beat Jazz
Beat Warriors
Up 11 on Clips at halftime

I never would have foreseen that.

I think even the LAC commentators are baffled by what they’re seeing, given the Bulls’ reputation.

WOW. What a half. Unselfish on offense. Playing on a string on defense. Just unbelievable how well this team is playing right now. Go sweep this road trip.

I have been saying.. this team right now is a dark horse. I promise you all no one wants to play us in the playoffs..

We will see after adjustments

It looks as though there are gonna have to be some long hard convos had about this team because this team is nowhere near as bad as alot of people have made it out to be.

I hope we don’t have the typical giving up a quick 6 to 8 points after the half. Let’s keep all of this going.

Sure, we might lose this one. The Clips are 21-8 at home, after all. But that doesn't change how well the Bulls are playing.

Love that Demar has bought in and is sharing the ball more..our offense just looks crisp.

I'm finally seeing these guys live since the winning streak. I'm liking the balance of defense and offense. Hopefully they get another W.

If Vuc could be more efficient in the paint, he would be less annoying at times

TL;DR

I donno if others think this about me, but I think I’m one of the more forever optimists on the board (to point where I know I deserve at times fair criticism of naive or annoying optimism). So I have ALWAYS believed across the past two seasons this team was worth rooting for and hopeful about playoffs once we got there. Last year was rough but they always gave me just enough to not roll over … even in offseason I was kept strung along because that Toronto win in play in was so much fun (and they should have beat the Heat).

With start of this year it wore on me. I tried and tried to remain supporter of this squad. I didn’t want DDR or Lavine or AC or even Vuc to be traded. It was against all common sense, but I was willing to be last hold out.

Well, I’ll never forget how low this team got me. I GAVE UP! They got me to post that I was done with squad and finally fine with any and all trades that would be made.

It was after that five game losing streak ending in that 27 pt embarrassing blow out to Celts in tourney game.

I legit waived white flag and was done with this team. Finally said I wasn’t even going to watch the next game.

That ended up being the Bucks game they won in OT. Starting first 4 game win streak in two years! Since then they are 26-18 I think.

My point, I hate this team so much (jk) for taking me to lowest of low and bring me to point of legit giving up… only to immediately embarrass me and become everything I was holding out hope they’d become!!!

Vuc was right...should have reviewed that one

Clippers have definitely upped the defensive intensity

Welp. The Clips showed up in the 2nd half as if it's a playoff game and our guys were overwhelmed.

Bad turnovers and bad defense are adding up

3rd quarter going exactly as I feared it would.

Athletic bigs kill Vuc on pick n rolls
