The Bulls just aren't very talented. It isn't an X's or O's thing, they just legit do not have the players to keep up imo.

Half the meeting was probably about licencing Diar derozan's screams.

We've seen enough. DeRozan, LaVine and Vucevic don't fit together. Lonzo Ball was the key that unlocked the puzzle. With him shelved, we just have three primary players that don't compliment each other.

Nothing's gonna change. We'll continue to be a team that scores when our shooters are hot, but can't guard anyone. We're not a playoff team. Adding Torrey Craig this offseason wasn't the answer to the existential problem this team faces.

Even at their peak with ball, they lost to every contender. They were never better than a first round exit and now they're a play in team.

Feel bad for Zach.

Man players-only meeting season started early this year

A lot think this is the Bulls underestimating how good OKC is and that they think they "shouldn't lose to a team like this" but I think it's blatantly evident it's a team who heard all offseason that it was time to blow it up, ran it back because they believed still had a strong enough roster to make the playoffs, then not only do you get blown out at home to start the year, but team chemistry looks completely out of whack (which you might expect to happen with the new guys but this was happening in the LaVine-DeRozan-Vucevic minutes).

It's really difficult to watch a game - the first game of the season no less - and come away thinking "there's nothing to be excited/optimistic about" but the Bulls did came as close as possible to that last night

[–] Gyshall669@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed, this is not about Okc. It’s about being in the exact same spot as last season.

It's Players Only baby

[–] Angelskilldemons@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We suck 😢

[–] tapk69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Its like the Bulls do this on purpose. Players meeting after 1 game. Its obvious the Bulls will have to rebuild but the 1st thing to rebuild is management.

[–] Vallerie_09@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Free Caruso. Free Drummond. Idk if anyone else is interesting on that team.

[–] chakrablocker@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Love those guys

[–] Artistic-Tennis4090@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Stacey King the only reason I still watch these losers

[–] paatreek@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was really looking forward to a new season, but the way this team plays is not at all fun to watch. Embarrassed in a home opener, this team looks like they are going to be even worse than last year.

[–] ApprehensiveCare7220@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What being owned by Jerry Reinsdorf does to a MF

[–] somthing-in-the-way@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hopefully Zach apologized to the team for his 4-16 and 4 first half to’s

[–] RedDragons8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I dont know if Thibs can survive this...

[–] Tapprunner@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So they made it a day.

That's not great. I mean the team is going nowhere, and no amount of meetings will change that. Still, not great.

[–] CrazyDaylight8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe they should trade for Harden. They're not looking great

[–] BillowingPillows@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oooh ok ok this would actually be pretty fun. Doooo it Chicago!

[–] Paul24-Chem@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They were seeing red

[–] EntertainmentFit3288@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Billy Donovan experience has run its course.

[–] StoneColdAM@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The team has to blow up. It sucks because they looked on the upswing a few years back, but it’s clear this team will never get much better. Trade some of the serviceable players for picks/assets.

[–] Discola@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Was at the game last night, on the one hand OKC shot ~50% from the three point line and that's crazy. Bulls shot terribly especially from the three.

On the other hand why does Lavine just charge into three defenders in the paint and try to make the contested lay-up so often??? Someone needs to set up a screen, or he needs to pass after drawing in the defenders (though we weren't making any shots anyway, hard to win like that).

[–] redundantPOINT@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And they say this sub overreacts

[–] McJumbos@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

damn after game 1 its gonna be a long year

[–] ActivelySleeping@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is Zach LaVine not playing for the Bulls? Why was he singled out?

[–] ruswestbrick@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

#after one fkn game? 😳

Morning of the second day of school, principal calls an assembly. "Never in my life have I seen such disrespectful behavior."
