Funny how time is a flat circle. In 1984, the Mavericks head coach accused the Bulls of tanking. Mavs owned the Cavs' pick. Bulls went 5-24 after Feb. 22 & finished with one fewer win than Cavs. Dallas picked 4th, took Sam Perkins. Bulls got the No. 3 pick.
That turned out to be... Michael Jordan
Man, when you have to write βthe Sixers need more from Cam Payneβ articles just throw in the towel.
Will be banging this drum a lot in the final weeks of the season, because it really REALLY matters re: ownershipβs decision to keep ArtΕ«ras KarniΕ‘ovas around.
Whether the Bulls get lucky in the lottery or not is a moot point for AK. This is about vision and leadership in the long-term.
If the Hawks would have just called it Ass-piration night Adam Silver would have ignored it
ya I'm skeptical they actually would've won, but think we were definitely robbed of a few more pretty good series.
Not saying they def wouldβve been but it was basically just that one ECF. Bulls won all the regular season matchups and dominated Game 1, then lost the next 4 that were all close games and arguably got better the next year before he got hurt. There was at least potential there for a good rivalry.
Wow Chicago finally landed a Coby Bryant
Not even Mickey Mouse March Collin Sexton (28 points on 7/9 3s in 22 minutes before leaving with an injury) could derail the powerful tanking presence of Patrick Williams.
#LightTheBeam
dammit the Celtics are going to win the East aren't they
Should have known a James Harden team would come out flat in the early matinee
βinconsistencyβ is putting it kindly right now heh
Theyβre like 6 games back so it would require a truly bonkers run AND one of the current play-in teams collapsing.
AK probably made sure to get Sexton for that marketing π
I'd make a joke about Brooks being driven to drinking after watching how bad the Suns were against the Bulls last night, but that would be in poor taste
So far in March: Bulls beat the Bucks with a 27-0 run, Bulls' garbage time unit almost pulls off a 19-point comeback in last 5ish minutes vs. Thunder, extremely undermanned Bulls beat Suns on road behind Collin Sexton's best game of the season and the worst Suns game of the season. We are BACK!
Jalen Green stats stink
Absolutely dying at this collection of Jalen Green shooting lines since he came back from injury. This guy stinks!
The Suns admitted to a man last night they didnβt take the Bulls seriously and didnβt have the right focus/energy. A truly pathetic performance from them, and it was obvious from the start. And Jalen Green is truly one of the worst players in the league.
Looking at the Bulls/Suns box again and itβs legit insane. Sexton/Tre had arguably their best games of the season, Yabu had a big night, Green/Gillespie/Allen shot 12/45 combined and the Bulls still needed dumb stuff at end to pull it out. So much nonsense needed to squeak out a pointless win π
LMFAO
The Bulls are almost certainly too far back to actually make the play-in regardless but if they actually do this Mickey Mouse bullshit again with THIS garbage roster I might have to give up on them forever (I wonβt do that lol)
One of the worst Bulls wins Iβve seen in a long time. Just ludicrous stuff all around. Suns should be ashamed for that garbage.
Jalen Green is having one of the worst games Iβve ever seen holy shit
Jalen Green is a total bozo and Yabu hitting clutch 3s what a nightmare lol
This Sexton game legit has my blood boiling π why is this guy on this team still
Jalen Green, Colin Gillespie and Grayson Allen are a combined 9/37 from the field tonight. Just shockingly bad lmao meanwhile Sexton and Jones are 18/28
Looking like a pure Mickey Mouse effort win for the Bulls tonight in Phoenix. They went out all from the tip and the Suns have been asleep at the wheel all night long. Really bad stuff pretty from across the board from Phoenix, and Bulls have taken it to them all night.
Iβm pretty sure Sexton and Jones have combined for at least 10 straight line drive layups in this game. Credit to them for attacking an unreal bad Suns defense tonight.
The Sunsβ perimeter defense against Collin Sexton and the Bulls tonight is appalling. How do you give up so many layups to this roster, even without Mark Williams.
Rob Dillingham is really damn fast and can wreak some havoc with his speed but my goodness that jumper looks rough.
