PG: TNT Bulls are back? 

Post#1 » by DASMACKDOWN » Fri Jan 19, 2024 2:58 am

LOL ok probably not. But a decent win I guess.

Good first quarter. Meh 2nd and 3rd quarter. Played a good last 5 mins.

Zach getting hurt sucks for alot of reasons. Glad Ayo was ok to play. Pat is back and finally got double figures. Vuc played very well tonight. Was player of the game. Coby had a really good second half. Demar was a calming force for most of the game.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Anyone else notice how we lose our identity as a team when Zach is playing? He went out and everyone started playing like themselves.

That was a fun game and a quality win. I'm starting to come around on Vuc. He's not a great player, but he's sure a lot better than how he's treated on this board.

Great recap above. DeRozan was great. Vuc has flaws but is good at everything but D

I really want it work out with Zach, but I think we are seeing pretty clearly that we are a better team without him. Don't even really know why, chemistry, defense, sharing the ball, etc?

Played about 2.5 minutes after the injury. Not clear whether he was benched down the stretch due to the ankle or something else. His foot appeared pretty heavily taped up.

I loaded this up before checking the results and thought based on the tread title that we lost so bad the post game was about blowing the team up

Both teams stunk it up from 3. If it's a 2 point battle, Bulls can win it. But a clutch 3 from Caruso near the end where 3s were a rarity.
Orlando era Vuc sighting.

Hey a road win for this team is a big win. I'm generally a Zach fan, but I get mad when he tried to play injured. There are some guys who can do it effectively, but even a 90% healthy Zach is bad...get well soon Zach!

I'm not a Vuc fan, but I have long-been a fan of his bumslaying. That's his thing. Maybe there were more bums in the league when he played in ORL.

DDR was clutch back in TOR.

Coby played a gritty game. Ditto for Caruso and Ayo.

Pat wasn't great, but I'll give him a pass because he's playing a bit gimpy too.

This is the type of win that strikes fear into the hearts of Bulls fans.

I'll go ahead and make a sig bet that Mikal is better by RPM this year than Zach.

Been saying this for awhile. The Vuc hate on this board is odd. Vuc is top ten for his position in points per game and rebounds per game and is top five in assists per game despite the 5-14 start to the season where everyone's numbers suffered. But because he's not a two way player and we don't have the right complementary piece next to him at power foward, people have been making the incorrect claim that he's massively overpaid. He's not.

If Vuc couldn’t get his against Thad Young we have big big problems.
