I'm kinda losing hope pretty fast. We have times where we look up to par but struggle with sustaining that level of play , and when a good team turns it up we can't get up another level with them. Teams see us as a easy win. Our core is not great and we dont have a future franchise player here. These are just facts and the reality

We are looking at yet another rebuild to find a future core. So that means more years of bad basketball. Hopefully this mess leads to the firing of garpax finally, although I'm doubting that

hopefully Otto is back Tuesday

he was playing well and it means no Kornet.

Lauri & Zach need to both be scoring 20 a night for this team to have the chance. Lauri is just a mess right now, his shooting has to pick up soon and normalize. Coming into the season I would have wanted him taking 6 3s a night, now I can’t believe he just lost his shot. Zach starting off slow too and not showing any improvement over last season

Coby looks good out there, but obviously he needs to start making shots. He brings good energy and can create shots. He’s just not sinking them.

Wendell has to be our bright spot, he looks good and it sounds like he’s taking a leadership role

This whole thing working was contingent on lauri and lavine being a clear 1 and 2 and taking their games to the next level. They just not it and I'm coming to just accept that. I'm not saying we should look like a title team already, that def takes time but I should be able to see a future core and I just dont see that. Maybe Coby and Carter jr turn corners and the keys get handed to them. But I'm coming to grips with lauri and lavine not being it

caught a good amount of the 2nd half and some things I took away from it

if Lauri doesn't improve and play at a consistent level, the season is a wash. His play is trash right now and you can see his confidence disappearing

Boylen hasn't instilled any offensive scheme or plan which is why so many non-shooters keep shooting 3s (Dunn, Kornet). At least WCJ understands he's not a shooter.

The 3 guard lineup returned and didn't do shyt as expected.

Houston got hot from 3 and that was all she wrote. If the Bulls woulda smartened up and switched up their offense a bit, maybe the could've built some separation but nah keep shooting 3s

Zach with 11 points off 17 shots and 0 FTs


The Bulls have the green light from 3 from Boylen but the shooting has been abysmal (31% so far). They lead the league in points in the paint, but keep chucking 3s because obviously opposing teams are giving them leeway out there because they've been broke as shyt.

i think the entire fanbase is feeling that way right now

the shooting has to come around some

Its offensive scheme but boylen makes the mistake of keeping poor shooters on the floor and all the opposing team is going to do is leave the space for the poor shooter to have the open shot. The poor shooter has to take the shot to keep the defense honest. But unfortunately for us so many players are shooting so poorly the opposing team can just give up a 3 all together.

This is also why you can see poor ball movement because the opposing defense will direct that extra pass to the poor shooter.

 

[GoldenGlove]

I get that they can't shoot this bad all year, but what's concerning is how much they're depending on the 3. High level 2nd Options and legit 1st options know how to get to the FT line to stabilize the game when things aren't going smooth.

I'm not seeing anybody be that guy. We saw it from Zach and even Dunn at times last year, this year they are not getting to the line enough, especially Zach

At this point , uncle fester should give the keys to coby and carter for a game and see what happens, zack doesn’t have the iq to be a first option imo Lauri doesn’t really have the heart, sad shyt y’all

 

[god shamgod]

Bulls fo shouldn’t never had said playoffs, they put pressure on the youngins 30 something wins shoulda been the goal gotta crawl before you walk.now the casuals fake outraging,the thunder with 3 future mvps took 3 years before they made it and that was with kd averaging 30 leading the league in scoring,wtf made anybody think this bulls team was making a 20+ game leap

Shoulda acquired an elite playmaker since Lauri soft ,can’t create his own shot and isn’t aggressive(13 ppg 35% fg ) since opening night ,I’d take Lonzo over Coby rose hogging ass too. 33-34 wins tank season still in effect

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Yea the words should have never been brought up

I been sayin this core ain't it

Lauri is Keith Van Horn Jr...a decent player who doesn't impact the game

Zach had a spark when he started but if he's your 1st or 2nd best player...your team ain't goin nowhere

I like WCj but he just gonna be a hi level role plsyr

Coby is going to be a career 6th man which is fine but I don't expect much more

So we're basically in need of another rebuild under the same regime who showed they don't have the capability to pull one off properly and we know Reinsdorf isn't going to make the necessary changes

Prolly just let Doug Collins old ass take over

Just gotta an alert Lauri playing with an abdominal injury. Is it safe to say he's injury prone?
