They haven't played any starters tonight.
Dam it this is worse than LanceGate
Gabriel has an NBA body, but zero bball IQ. LOL
Another close loss….I’ll take it.
Phew
Did we not do it? We aren't number win!
Thank god!
Jordan Poole, we thank you
Thank you warriors
a step back 3 when down by 1?
Here one more Bulls win and we are in a 3 way tie for 8th. Best we could hope for... I suppose.

Movement happening right now
NAW commanding the tank at the end
Thanks NAW for that super ill-advised shot. Future NBA GM that kid. He knows whats up. :D
Excellent game from Naji with 20 & 13. I guess he should have scored 5 points with 5 TOs to really prove how much of a scrub he truly is. In a game like this against other bench players.
Some people I swear.
So that is the play that SVG and his staff drew up during a timeout with the game on the line?
I hope we are tanking because “NAW, dribble at the top of the key and jack up a 3” is the most unimaginative play possible.
Contrast our last play with the Warriors’ final play and the difference in ability at the coaching level between these 2 teams is quite vast.
Naw tried his best to give the game away in the last 2 mins lol...
Well NAW got his 25 shots in the end lol, but that last one was just ******.
Ok we lost, really disappointed with Kira's game, he blew a big chance tonight.
Naji looking like he's Ingram's backup for the next few years.
Jax with another effective game.
Gotta feel like Jax, NAW and Naji are all back next year. I dont know what to make of Kira anymore.
Just got to say it... Elite Speed just doesn't make a good basketball player in a half court sport.
It's just what it is. Kira ceiling looks like a role player.. And honestly... It's a huge need, but do need a starting caliber solution. It's why I wasn't a fan of drafting a guard this past year. I was hoping we tank for an elite guard prospect(Green/Suggs/Etc) in this year draft, but I underestimate how many tankers there are this year. Which is a sign of a very very good draft when you have teams desperate to tank.
Yeah too bad about Kira. He's 52 games into his NBA career, half of which spent at age 19, and his fate is sealed. It's a wrap. Kinda like Jax earlier in the season.
This forum continues to impress with the bbal knowledge. It's impeccable.
Really like Jax being confident to take those 3s. He should have a mandate to take at least 2 -3 each game now on.
Kira simply is not as good as the PG picked 13 spots after him and, IMO, never will be.
*Looks at OKC, Magic, Hou, TOR*
Yeahhhhh.... Can't be too obvious. Idk... Those lottery balls really tend to selectively avoid tankers for some reason. Lol
Remember Bobcat winning 7 games and losing the AD Sweepstakes to draft MKG in between AD and Beal. Lmao...
I'm not seeing a big difference. Am I missing something?

You'll find the difference in the bit where Pritchard is shooting 45% from the floor and and 42% from 3, as opposed to Kira's 38/33 splits.
That being said, Kira is four whole years younger so if Pritchard wasn't better right now that would be pretty pathetic for him, honestly. Pritchard is also in a better team context where he's never really asked to be the lead ball handler at any point, whereas Kira has been given a lot of weird late game garbage minutes with random lineups. That's improved lately as Kira has gotten more time with the actual roster guys, mostly over the last few weeks, but it is what it is.
I cant remember the last time the pelicans won a lottery coin flip. They lost to Sacramento last year. And I believe they lost the one before that.
The next Bulls game against the Nets, it's confirmed that Durant, Harden, and Kyrie will all play.
The ideal outcome tomorrow looks like a Nets win and a Bucks loss. Then the Bucks will be locked into the 3rd seed in the east.
They then would have no reason to play starters against the Bulls in the final game.
Also want the Lakers to win so they have something to play for the final game. Dont want a repeat where we have a bunch of try hard kids playing at home against a Lakers team who rests everybody.
Also want the Spurs to beat the Suns so that the Jazz can rest on the final day against the Kings
Rooting for the Bulls, Lakers, Heat, and Spurs today
Really coming down to the wire.
