    If he had House we would have won this, should have built around him and Garuba as our offensive anchors

    Sengun played sluggish and tired it was not a good showing on playing defense and rebounding. On the offense end, he was going head to head against a ALL STAR, it was really a one on one match

    Effortless?
    They must be talking about (his) defense!

    Weird game. Actually thought we played great offensively. Just couldn't cover anyone, and it just felt like we couldn't catch a break. Tough thing with getting down by 10+ points is that the other team ends up playing freer, which can really open up an offense. And when that happened, we just couldn't catch a break.

    Sure, if by “anchor” you mean heavy, unwieldy object that keeps us from going anywhere.

    the way we fell behind early at 0-9, i could tell from the body language we are losing this game. i hate how we sometimes walk around like we are a good team that can come back from deficits, and just turn it on anytime. its a coaching matter for me, to get the players ready not only with the Xs and Os but also to have the energy and purpose to get after it from a competitive standpoint. The vets, especially EG seemed to be just going through the motions. disgusting.

    It is a little low. We can pad it with Bull's Swinging Seniors. Do they give the Clutch City Seniors a run for their money?



    As far as dance formation; with the bird's eye view, they were in correct spots.

    Bad coaching on Silas’s part. All that switching in the first half backfired. Vucevic and DeRozan got whatever they wanted.

    naw. Refs took Sengun completely out of the game. 3 quick fouls on some bull - then the next time he came in the game, it was over. He played fine against Vuch IMO.

    after rewatching the Bulls game, now im just wondering what happened to our players? they looks playing with an absolute fatigue, clueless turnovers and slow motion defense...
    (most of them, except Tate & KMj)

    4 games in 6 day (3 away from home), did that really make them poop them out?
    their one-on-one D in this game seems always one step slower than it should be esp as for contesting opponent's shots, they could hardly stretch their arms long enough to hinder / contest shots.

    besides, those biased calls just clueless, they like covid restrictions is now killing games.
    guess nba officials either got no money or got no time to keep their refs trained better, refs literally gutting games into small pieces, make them unwatchable.

    Edit: those biased calls are pretty close to a tailor-made lecture for our young players, some calls 100% minimal, in-between a call or a non-call, and just leaves me an impression there long has been an agenda from officials in place to decide this W should give Bulls a cushion siting around second seed in est. firmly.
