    Bulls were on fire.

    We just got our butts kicked.

    Gotta regroup and have a better showing in the rematch

    Sometimes it’s not your day. Feel like we fall flat in Sunday home games a lot?

    Especially the early Sunday games. They miss out on nap time.

    i know the standard response is "buck up" or whatever, but biorhythms are real. i remember when i had these random 8am games in high school, i was always crap.

    and yes, both teams are playing in that circumstance; i'm just saying i get why performance might dip. good for the bulls on their championship victory.

    I honestly did think about both these factors especially when I realized we had the early game.


    Still thought we’d put up more of a fight but yeah.

    Sometimes you just lose. I don’t really have any “analysis” beyond that right now. Lol

    If we were dialed in and up for the game, I think Brown and AR could've done enough to split an assignment. But that team didn't show up. Minimal defense was played in this one.

    I think it was a mistake putting AD on Vuc: he forced AD out of the paint which allowed Lavine to get free lanes to the basket and then Drummond came in for a more physical approach.
    Not having another Center keeps on biting this team in the butt in several games since Bamba got hurt

    what was scott foster doing on that three-shot foul on schroder? even the wolves announcers were like "that's definitely not a foul". and then scott disallows the challenge because too much time elapsed. you're not the show, brother.

    My continuous commentary on other teams announcers: Wolves were pretty good. Some homerism but definitely reasonable takes and you could actually listen to them to see they like basketball and not just their team

    I hate these 5 out teams: random dudes just shooting up 3s and some home cooking from the refs you just never know

    OT on the first night of a back to back when we were up 10 with less than 2 minutes to go.

    I was optimistic about the Clippers game but I’m way less confident now.
