PG: Bulls battle, but come up short

[HomoSapien]

Everyone but Billy sees that we need to go to Coby more in close games.

Yeah i dont care about putting up a good fight anymore. This team is played out and I am sick of Demar, vuc, Billy etc

[aguifs]

Exactly. Who gives a damn about moral victories at this point?

There's such a double standard of Billy saying Lavine has to fit in by making fast decisions, either shoot the ball or pass it but don't have it stick in his hands, and then having Derozan walk the ball up and not even looking at another Bulls uniform or trying to run a play and just hoisting shot after shot.

I posted before that I think we need to trade derozan for the sake of coby taking that next step. As long as derozan is around coby will lean on him. I'm hoping we can add a young piece or a vet that knows to take a back seat role so coby can take the reigns. I'm sick of seeing derozan taking most the shots down the stretch.

Glad we fought back but we going back to that team that can't close the deal when I thought we were over that hump. We can't keep dropping winnable games especially vs good teams.

AKME might actually be worse than GarPax. We may have lucked into some stars by now if they were still here by keeping our draft picks. We are in NBA Hell forever with these two. That’s actually considered successful to them.

I've lost all my enthusiasm. Watched a few minutes early and turned it off. Make a trade, please. Just for interest.

It’s OK for DeRozan to freelance whenever he feels like it. For some reason.

The dumb turnovers under 2 minutes was disturbing. But this game was a loss from the beginning.

I think Coby is still having a bit of impostor syndrome. He's not comfortable (or don't know how) to be commanding. Look at De'Aaron Fox, that guy is burning with confidence and make everybody on the floor know that he means business. Coby is still "too nice". He needs to be commanding.

I stopped watching again few weeks ago. I saw this coming. I just follow the gamecast casually now.

Bulls came back from a 30 pt deficit they played well on both ends fought hard but just couldn’t finish. Fox hit some key shots late to beat the bulls.

It’s a shame they lost and it’s a game the bulls should have had at home but at least we saw some entertaining basketball and didn’t fold after being down 30. On to the next.

Fox doesn’t have to defer to anyone. It’s clearly his team and has been for years. They even chose him over Haliburton. That does a lot for your confidence.

This is his first year with actual keys though. This is the pre ascension time period. Next year of fully Coby and team embracing and building with it, thats when you will hear real allstar buzz.

If he finishes the season avg 20/5/5 he is well on his way.

I only caught the game halfway in the 4th, but Julian Phillips with 5 fouls in 13 minutes? how many resulted in free throws?

Pretty even across the board it seems via box score. Kings with a few more made threes, and better decisions late.

Bulls have zero reliable scoring off the bench. Guessing TC will be starting soon in place of AC or Ayo for more forward size.

Coby took 18 shots
Vucevic took 18 shots
Demar took 14 shots

You guys just make stuff up about Demar just to hate on him. He even had 6 assists. What’s the problem ? Is Demar not allowed to take shots anymore ?

Also when Coby dribble dribbles to go through people to score isn’t an issue ? That’s not “moving the ball”. I’m not complaining about that because at times the more talented players need to do that to score. It’s only a problem though if Derozan does it.

Caruso likely out a couple games. This should be his last game in the Bulls uniform. He will be wheelchair-bound by the end of his contract with how he plays. He needs to go while he has value.

Its not the first 3 quarters people complain about. Its the 4th quarter where he generally just has tunnel vision. In traffic, in 2 people's faces, it doesn't matter.

Now there is a time and place for it some games. But it shouldn't be an automatic every time. Look at Fox. Even when he has the ball, you never feel he is going to take the shot no matter what. That is what everyone knows Demar will do.

I'm certain I've read posts from you stating you didn't care about winning championships and didn’t want to watch a tanking team.
