"Ayo I want to put the Paws on em"...- The Chicago Bulls 2022-23 Season thread.

[GoldenGlove]

you’re starting to see why I’ve been so disinterested in this team. if you’re watching other teams all the fun, young talent stands out more than ever. this team feels old, boring and always a second away from pulling a hamstring

Feels like how the White Sox season was. They'll win just enough games to tease us thinking they can go on a run at some point, and then the run just never happens because they're inconsistent all year.

I mean Ayo has been fun to watch progression wise and Pat at least looking solid defensively/when he decides to actually score. But yea I’m tired of iso Derozan and Donovan’s obsession of playing Vuc like he’s KAT. Zach just doesn’t look right. He looked like he was on the verge of stardom two years ago. Like someone said there is no chemistry between he and Demar. Which shouldn’t be the case since the operate on different spots of the floor. Zach looks much more comfortable with the second unit

The Bulls should use Vuc like how Sacramento uses Sabonis. Instead of always picking and popping, or doing the dribble weave/hand-off shyt and floating the the 3PT line, he should roll more and post up off those actions more. They're both are putting up similar numbers, but when Sabonis is doing work on the block it opens up everything else. I have no idea why they don't feed Vuc more in that area. It's not like the sets they run are getting them great shots anyway.

Vuc is shooting around 40% from 3, but he is also only shooting like 46% overall. He's gotta be a mismatch problem in the interior and collapse defenses more.

Sometimes it feels like this team can beat any team in the league. Sometimes the team looks like they couldn't beat the magic. There are in fact times all those bad teams have shown more effort than us.

Sometimes it's feels like it's no fight in the team. They are very inconsistent. I look at Donovan a lot with this. I feel the talent is here. I really feel proper coaching would take this roster farther.

Orlando is the only team that has a terrible record. Everybody else is competitive with a similar record as Chicago or better. 3-12 is really on the table here in their next 15.

Can someone please explain the thread title to me? Was that an actual quote?

On a positive note, Portland won again last night and are currently 1st in the West.

Need them to get a cushion in the standings some for whenever they go on a skid so that if they do make the Playoffs it's around 5 or 6 and we get a 1st that's closer to the lottery than the end of the 1st Round.



Go Blazers

Zach looks more comfortable with the second unit because he's playing with players who can push the pace. Vuc and Demar need the game slowed down for them. Vuc moves like his feet hurt and Demar turns into a black hole with his ball-stopping iso play. I honestly blame Billy for not using them right. Idk what he coaching out thre. He's not encouraging the team to push the pace or move the ball.

Billy gotta go.

And bring in who?

Demar will always be a iso player

Same with Zach, but atleast he capable of playing pick and roll

Vuc can't play D to save his life

Ayo no issues here

Pat Williams yall know how I feel about him so I'll leave it at that

The roster needs to be reshaped and Yes part of the problem is Billy

AKME needs to be put on notice in my opinion. Not fired but they need to do a better job constructing this team


We play Pels, Milwaukee, and Boston then go on a 5 game road trip starting the 25

Chris Fleming. The offense looked great when he took over while Billy was out with COVID last year. Or just have some balls and hire Ime.

 

[The G.O.D II]

The funny thing is within a system demar can thrive. He wasn’t this iso heavy in SA at all. I was kinda hoping we got that version instead of the TO version. Don’t get me wrong I like he can get buckets but it comes at a cost

Love and hip hop quote, lil scrappy said this about stevie j a long time ago

Play on names ayo (ayo donsumu) paws (Patrick Williams nickname)

Went with those 2 in the title because for me one of the crucial needs for this team this season is the growth and production from ayo and pwill.

Imo he began the season playing like Spurs demar. As the team began failing in some games demar resorted back to iso ball hoping to carry the team to success. It's not working. Even if it means at times we failing derozan has to trust the ball movement and taking good shots. Imo it's not him gunning it's the shot selection that kills us. If he was being featured in the offense but all the shots were in the flow of the offense I wouldn't care. But it's the stalling the offense discouraging players from cutting and moving off the ball then shooting over 2 sometimes 3 defenders that is really bad for the flow of the offense.

This is very layered, and I appreciate it. I didn't know Pat's nickname was Paws, that's hilarious. Those two are progressing nicely, should help form a solid core for the future as well as this season

Second Unit actually kicking the ball ahead and passing it to everyone on offense.

It's a crazy concept

 

[GoldenGlove]

lol Vuc be on some dumbass shyt. Gets 2 deep dribbles in the paint on BI then just throws the ball away.
