Official Game Thread: Bulls at Hawks

[Sothron]

Great win tonight. Trae and Bogi were on another planet in the fourth quarter. Even Kevin and Hunter woke their asses up for this one. Let's keep this going!

Look at you talking like a fan!

I like him a lot better when we win. 

[Diesel]

Glad Dre and Kev got the message.  You don't have to shoot the three!

Glad that the Defense had a gameplan...  Double Derozen.. get the ball out of his hand.

This is a definite good win.

Well what we really learned tonight is that when you double Derozen and force the ball out of his hands... Lavine is not big enough to take over the game.  We just told Chicago that when the playoffs come, we can beat them. 

 

Diesel . . . Lavine absolutely KILLS the Hawks.   If anything, he didn't shoot enough.  Only 8 - 14 FG ( 4 - 7 from 3 ), for 22 points.

[Diesel]

If we go into the playoffs with everybody healthy....

Whoa Son!!!

Once again the narratives proven wrong. 

Hawks can't win with Trae shooting a bunch...wrong.

Trae can't shoot in the 4th or the clutch....wrong.

LOL

Trae didnt shoot a bunch. He was just efficient...

And if you havent noticed how we've been playing down the stretch lately......

Its been bad..

Tonight was great to see...

Both need to have the aggressiveness they showed today every game.

Bawb just said that Huerter only had two free throw attempts in the month of February.  Damn ...

That’s just a part of his game that will always be nonexistent.  I question if he could last in the 80s-90s with 0 post game and 0 FT drawing game.

As nice as this win is we need tomorrow's game even more. Won't mean much if we lose against the wiz. 

Exactly. That is a must win game. Something is seriously wrong with these guys if they don't come out with a sense of urgency tomorrow.

[Spud2nique]

I’m not afraid of anybody. Sounds corny but when you have Trae, you have a chance. 3rd seed, 6th, 8th, it don’t matter. That kid is a beast. Blessed

He has killed the Hawks.

However, Derozen doesn't make the first pass to Lavine (out of the double).  Its hard for him to kill the Hawks when Brown, White, or Green is forcing up a shot.    Consistently, the ball went to one of those guys are Vuc.   I didn't see much of anybody else getting the ball... and then in the 4th, Derozen got beside himself.  Down the stretch, he came down about 6 times and missed...  that's about 6 straight times trying to shoot over either the double or a tight man on man.   I liked how we played it tonight.

Washington is also a lousy team, we should come out with playoff intensity and crush them. 

[Spud2nique]

Let’s not forget we were missing JC and OO as mentioned. That’s huge.

We all know how that's gone in the past.

[Diesel]

It is necessary that when JC comes back, he has to be a freak of nature.   I'm talking 18/10 down the stretch.  44% from three.   I've seen him on the side.   I hope he's not getting Ben Simmons comfy... I want him to come out like those Wild Dogs that LT used to talk about.

They are a hodge podge of good players that can be gritty.  It's going to be a tough game because they haven't decided to tank yet. 

[RedDawg#8]

I can’t get excited until we can climb above .500 for good.

These guys have been 2 steps forward 3 steps back all season.

Lets put together a streak.

Great win otherwise 

[Dynamo]

Good team effort and nice bounce back game from Hunter.

Bulls also-ran down a few key guys, don't care about injury asterisks anymore this team is always injured we gotta win games no matter what, we're better than we've been playing even with the injuries
