    Tate plays strong. He blocks shots, bodies people inside, and finishes well.

    Plus he can shoot and defends. Really like his game.

    Defense is missing. Really need a bigman out there. Need Cousins to get going

    What a stupid move to take Wood off for the last minute or so. Trim it to 9 as he was getting going and Silas takes him off and the bulls go on a run

    Much better second quarter but way too many turnovers. Oladipo showing his value after warming up a bit. Need to get Cousins in the post and let him work. He’s looked terrible.

    Silas' insistence on starting and playing Nwaba so many minutes is puzzling. His defense is nothing special to overcome his ineptitude on offense. It's hurting the team badly, especially with him being on the floor with another offensively challenge player like Tucker.

    Everytime we make a run or get some momentum we turn the ball over. Silas has to kill the bad habits and put his personnel in better position.understand that cousins beeline or mclemore doing anything other than shoot is almost always going to be a turnover.

    Can we just tank please. It’s not because I think we are trash. Offense looks okay. But the defense is gonna stay bad. We need to just tank. Oladipo and Gordon are going to ruin that.

    The defense shouldn’t be this bad. Silas has to do better.

    He had 3 fouls and he doesn't seem to understand how to play with fouls which is understandable with this role of 'go to scorer' being entirely new to him.

    Curious to see how Wall fit with this team, him and Vic don't seem complement each other.

    What’s worse, sucking with this team all season or getting let down and embarrassed in the playoffs with harden and having to defend his no heart having ass.”?

    Exactly his lineups are becoming a problem. Don’t need Nwaba defense when you have oladipo and Gordon. They’re capable one on one defenders. He needs to put his creators together. A lineup with Tucker Nwaba and mclemore is too much one dimensional tendency on offense. Why not start Tate or mason? The defense still suffered so might as well put some offensive punch out there

    Gtfo. The guy doesn't want to be here and quit on his team. If he's here we would be down 30 rn.
