These are gms we could n should win if our COACHING STAFF realized we’re not shooting well and made adjustments instead of Jacking 3s n hoping for a different outcome
Same w/substitution
Today we were on the comeback when Billy makes substitution (reason unknown) n that was it

Just need a few more super solid games from Vooch and Lavine for those draft picks. If Pat Will ever took that leap to his potential we could be a contender. But he refuses to do so on both ends so we gotta start over.

Congrats on being good enough to give away our first round pick this year but not good enough to be at all entertaining or enjoyable to watch (not that I can watch the games anyways)

Bulls fans want to start all over and start a rebuild. As for the Bucks, they appear to be heading in the right direction. When Milwaukee beat Chicago without its two best players on Monday night, it might appear as if Chicago will need to start all over. These are two basketball franchises heading in different directions.
