They will get one. Drummond will be available.

Can't be mad at that one at all. If Coby shows up, that's a comfortable win. Bummer we lost but entertaining game. Wagner is a stud.

Only reason I’m not mad is because of apathy. And that losing is good to put heat on AK. He has become a joke along NBA journalists. Hoped Michael Reinsdorf realize that and asks some hard questions this offseason. AK has proven he does know how what competitive means.

Moral victory against a team built the right way.

How the hell do you let Coby/Ayo/Caruso fight for their lives and exhaust themselves against 2 to 3 Orlando seven-footers out there and not put in Drummond??

Seriously what kind of demented **** is that? Those 3 aren't prime Curry/Klay/Drummond.....like what the **** is wrong this guy seriously

because hes scared to make the decision of who to sit between

Coby
Ayo
Caruso
Demar

but even before then

We were up 8 when he brough Coby back in at the 10 min mark or so but he should've brought Vooch back in too and run twin towers with Demar on the bench for a 3-4 minutes but instead we left Drummond out there with both Wagners and Isaac its like cmon Billy the lead went from 88-80 to 92-91.

Now Billy will say he weas trying to get Vooch some rest but Vooch still ended up playing 43 minutes and he was at the 30 min mark when Coby came back in so why not try and win the game and push the lead to double digits instead of waiting until your lineup implodes and then making change. Whoever is on that bench who has his ear is either terrible or he is flat out not listening because Billy doesnt seem to see the game in real time but instead more like a 3 minute delay and no one says anything

Battling with playoff teams consistently and we are going to add PAW, a top 15 pick and LaVine. This team is going places.

A top 15 pick?

So to be clear, our “going places” team is either missing the playoffs or squeaking in with the worst record?

I was mostly referring to next year. Team is awkwardly built and needs re-arranged but has so much heart and talent. Then we add in 3 impact players. They are not fall off at all.

I didn't get a chance to watch the game. How did Terry look?

This is delusional.

And it's getting on my nerves at this point. I almost feel like he's trolling.

Coby's bound to have an off game here and there. Overall he's been one of the few bright spots to the season.

It's a shame that Wagner isn't on the Bulls.

Hopefully a top 5 pick even if it is a weak draft. Someone will end up an all-star. I really don’t think this team is making the real playoffs.

Had some highs, had some lows.

Swished a clean looking 3, missed another one but got his own rebound then dunked on Suggs, followed it up a couple possessions later with a forced ugly airball 3, but played good D and was active like always and made a smart assist or two.

My concern is that in the 2024 draft they'll end up with #12 and pick someone like a Jett Howard level player (who has potential, but hasn't shown much so far).

The 2024 draft is important because next year the team owes the Spurs a pick (top ten protected).

I have been tracking a little and I am high on 2 players. Filipowski and Salaun. The mocks are obviously early but those two I think fit us well.

Which is more reason to pull the plug now. We cannot afford to be giving up more lottery picks. A 36 year old DeRozan is not worth a lottery pick to anyone with common sense. AK is clearly in way over his head though.

Either that or toxic positivity.

Sucks that they lost to this damn team again. You can tell bulls players wanted this one bad but just couldn’t finish in the end.Magics size was an issue, defensively they were strong and they kept getting rebounds.

Billy for some reason continued to go small despite getting hammered by their size. Craig or Drummond should have been playing in crunch time.

Vuc had a really good game but once again his 3s weren’t falling. Demar was solid throughout but at the end he didn’t get it done, Magic defense pretty much shut him down and couldn’t do what he wanted. Coby got to be better, seems like he might be hurt not moving as fast as he usually is.
