Christ almighty Vuc...

Vuc air ball 3. Alright, time to turn it off. We may never reach .500 this season ever.

My prediction that we'll keep getting close to .500 but never actually reach it has unfortunately held true so far.

The media not being tough on Vuc is sad. The man is weak, and should be called out.

Guru's gonna have a field day with these comments.

I missed the ejection. Was it legit?

Yeah first he fouled someone hard, Brooks came from behind touched him and he hit brooks with a turn around elbow to the face. Nothing crazy but yeah legit

What, you want K.C. to ask "Vuc, why are you bad at basketball?"

Alright, fair enough.

Pull the plug Billy before anyone else gets hurt.

Has Udoka banged anyone’s wife in Houston yet ?

If Dalen ever learns how to shoot he'll be a nice piece.

I think that lineup with Caruso, Craig, Vuc, Drummond, and Ayo was the worst ever...

Caruso somehow always become the offense initiator in that lineup. Craig likes to run around like chicken with head cut off. Drummond and Vuc cannot create spacing. And Ayo just become muted.

I think this loss is more credit to Rockets for playing the way they played. They hit their shots, Landale stepped up, really used their youth and length well. This is the type of team that this team have been struggling with. Just like the last Pistons loss.

It's not news or anything since we've been slamming our heads every day for over 2 years, but Vuc is barely your run-of-the-mill MLE center (albeit with free cheese in the paint, the second your perimeter defensive string makes an error). I think it's more frustrating than anything that tempers flare, your best (and highest scoring) player gets unfairly ejected, the other teams' young guys are acting like punks, and your biggest trade acquisition finishes with 16 points. AK can't sincerely go into another season calling this guy a big part of the Bulls' plans. He's about as big as Hartenstein and Zubac are. Balmer holds press conference extending Zubac: "Really excited about what Zu brings to the Clippers' contending hopes." The extremely sad thing is that Zubac's actually better, if you give half a damn about PER and rim protection.

Anyway, really nice efforts from Ayo and Terry. Ayo loves March Madness. I don't think we need to get our expectations all out of whack, but if he and Coby can build off of this season and start 24/25 off with some strong offensive game, then we have ourselves a back-court. Can't get fooled by big stats on a short-handed team, for a brief spurt. His game has noticeably improved, in any case. But guys like Jalen Green also make their jumps, and you can tell he's got the (potential) frame, hops and moves to actually be a bully star, whereas you sense "underdog" in Ayo (a running Bulls theme since 1999).

Caruso's a great player, but if he's your lead guard or being asked to make some 3Ps under pressure, then your offense has some real problems.

We can't be this bipolar about our players. Vuc is good and has bad games.

He is essentially playing a role he shouldn't be playing and too many minutes.

Houston has now won 7 in a row. They have been playing good ball. Like I posted on the first page, bright future for them. They also have a few of the Nets picks coming up.

So close to getting to .500. Next is Boston, then it's Wiz, Pacers, @Nets

Billy need to start working on that Coby and Ayo backcourt without DeMar. DeMar has been the catalyst for those 2 great performances. It's clear Billy don't have a game plan yet for that scenario. He just just kinda roll out his top rotation guys and expect them to make something happen. I think Caruso often take on commanding role because he's just naturally the vocal leader in that locker room. But that should not be the case.

This game gave an honest view of the state of this team's roster. Need to upgrade the overall talent level. Glue guys Craig and Caruso are just glue guys, they're better with better roster.

I only have one polar for Vuc, South.

The Demar ejection really hurt the Bulls have any chance to win this game. What he did was silly and ended up costing the game. He needs to keep his composure, usually he doesn’t do stuff like that but this is the second time I believe in the last couple of weeks.

As the best player he can’t be making unnecessary hard fouls out of frustration , if anything let a role player do it, not him.

Is this another way of saying we'd be a good team if Vuc wasn't bad half the time?
