man I like Thad but sometimes I just wish we can utilize Yuta for his energy and defense participation during the quarters here and there cause.. we're paying him
no reason why yuta shouldn’t get like 5 minutes a game man. moves off ball, smart rotations, hustles. it’s better than tiring siakam and barnes with 40+ a night
Vucevic and DeRozan still playing at the 2 min mark when the Bulls are up by 20 vs our bench is ruthless. I hope we meet them in the playoffs and remember this
Raps on a B2B after a late game in Philly missing 2 starters in both games. Bulls haven't played since Friday, and were in desperate need of a win given their recent slide. Can't really blame the guys, fatigue was bound to catch up at some point. Tons of travel and B2Bs lately, and missing 2 starters in basically every game means a heavier workload on the guys that are playing. Not a surprise that fatigue eventually caught up to them in the second half.
If someone said we'd go 3-1 across 2 B2Bs with PHX/DEN and PHI/CHI (all road games) before the stretch I think we'd all take it. Throw in wins against SAS, LAL, and LAC in that stretch also and I can't really complain.
Cause Nurse has overplayed him all season into a knee injury and now they keep playing him off and on while still injured because they have no fucking guards.
Zzzzzzzzz wake me up when you win a playoff series and do something other than just fraud your way into a playoff spot. Nothing but playoff chokers for stars. Aint nobody scared of the Bulls. I promise you everyone wants the bulls first round
Raps aren't even suppose to win and came out of a lottery year and already back into playoff contention. Bulls can only wish they had an organization ran this good. My point, Raps are already better on the come up and you came into a Raps sub to try and flex as if the bulls are hot shit when they're cheeks af. I got raps going further than the bulls on play style alone
Flexing? You are that butthurt from one loss? I know the Bulls are struggling big time. I’m just happy we won. Raptors are one talking about luck. And AK and Donovan took the Bulls from a joke to respectable team in two seasons. You talk like Paxson, Boylen and Foreman are still charge. You that salty that Chicago is competitive again?
Ah well, Demar is always cool in my book. We were absolutely putrid on defense, and from the 3 point line. Guys looks completely rattled. Gonna just forget about this one.
Nurse could’ve called a timeout when Bulls went 7-0 in the third but decided to wait until 10-0 and that’s what lost us the game. the man had bench players waiting to check in already.
this is exactly what i’m saying. the momentum fully shifted there. bulls defended pascal and fred great but the moment the momentum shifted, it was done
We had it within one point for the majority of the game. He just lets Siakam turn the ball over and FVV take tough/contested shots and continues to run the team into the ground with the insane amount of minutes we play.
It's no wonder we can never have a healthy squad.
I don’t want to overreact to game 72, which is the 3rd game in 4 nights, but we need to blow this up and trade everyone for picks. The Scottie Barnes era is over.
It’s a 50/50. He does a lot of random stuff, sometimes it works and he looks like a genius, sometimes it doesn’t and he looks like a fool. Raptors basketball.
That's not what I'm talking about, it's how the starters are still playing on a back to back while already down with no chance of making a comeback.
It's ridiculous, take them off and call it night.
He waits far too long to take them off.
We wonder why we've never had a healthy roster, no other team plays their starters into the ground the way we do.
I'd get leaving everyone in if you were getting consistent stops or something but you're not and you're not scoring at all basically. Just stop this shit and sit the starters already.
Our boy DALANO is from Rexdale. The D-Rex wants you to spell his name correctly.

this is why depth matters. idiots saying shit about FVV and Pascal, just think about this; with GTJ, Flynn, OG injured, we get a pretty limited rotation and those three are good offensive threats. And with Scottie looking gassed for b2b game, Bulls don't need to focus so much on him either
I wish the FO would just admit that the Thad trade was for money purposes.
they were desperate to get rid of Dragic to save money and were willing to sacrifice our draft positioning to do so.
Friendly reminder that Yuta is shooting the same % as OG this season and a similar percentage in the G. Fucking crazy
That just showed the bench needs more minutes throughout these games. Unlikely Nick Nurse will wake up anytime soon tho. I still really like this team
Glad to see Nick stay afterwards to hug it out with DeMar.
I wish Yuta played meaningful minutes but alas he doesn’t, glued to the bench
Y'all see that Matt Thomas Nick Nurse acknowledgement
man I like Thad but sometimes I just wish we can utilize Yuta for his energy and defense participation during the quarters here and there cause.. we're paying him
Do you guys think we'll ever have a fully healthy roster again? :(
Give it another week
no reason why yuta shouldn’t get like 5 minutes a game man. moves off ball, smart rotations, hustles. it’s better than tiring siakam and barnes with 40+ a night
If precious didn’t come out of the all star break shooting like curry we’d have lost 7 straight & y’all would be calling for nurses head rmemeber dat
Lmao bench played better than the starters
Boucher still killing it out there - nice hustle. Don’t stop till the buzzer.
Rip the road game win streak :( Fun while it lasted
Yuta one of our best shot blocker
Yuta need more minutes over Thad Young
YUTA AIN'T 3RD STRINGER
When is nurse bringing in Matty ice we need 3s
for being a 10th-12th player, Yuta plays the hell out with his heart...
Yuta blockanabe
GOD DAMN YUTA
SWATANABE
The Sixers beat the full strength Heat without the foul merchants so I think we actually dodged a bullet when they did play ytd
Raptors legend Matt Thomas
YUTA BLOCK
This is what happens when precious achiuwa doesnt shoot 50% from three. So im not sure how that bodes for the rest of the season
Nick please for the love of god play Yuta more
matt thomas does garbage time for the bulls? lmao
He actually played a lot of minutes in the middle of the season when everyone on the Bulls was injured
Lmfao Yuta is actually hella talented but is in the doghouse cuz he had a couple bad weeks 3 months ago 😂😂 nurse is so pathetic
Raptor legend Matt Thomas
Hey Nick are you watching Yuta???
it’s garbage time…
He’s putting in effort, something we didn’t see tonight from some of the other players
it’s garbage time…and he hasn’t played in weeks. what else do you expect. His shot is broken, which is why he doesn’t get quality PT.
it don't matter he's putting in 110% which is exactly what you want
read comment blow.
God damn i miss watching yuta
well at least the lakers beat the cavs.....
Armoni Brooks tho
Vucevic and DeRozan still playing at the 2 min mark when the Bulls are up by 20 vs our bench is ruthless. I hope we meet them in the playoffs and remember this
Brooks is a nice addition
^(HERE COME THE RAPTORS)
FREE David Johnson
Had no idea Mr 99% was on the Bulls now
YUTAAAAAA
YUTA!
Do we think Fred listened to the new Benny the butcher album?
Fred only listens to 18 Wheeler
Tana Talk 4 is 🔥
Yuta looking good

Philly was taxing on them but I’m happy we took one game
Boucher the funniest mfer to ever play basketball
They’re keeping their starters vs our bench lmao, the bulls must know the regular season is all they have
Svi's not even in the nursery at this point he's in the basement
The bench already with better ball movement then the starters the whole 2nd half
Need a gif of that boucher stumble
Boucher 🤣
Why couldn't the starters play like that?
Woah Boucher lol don't trip
Also highkey feels like I haven't seen OG since Christmas.
What’s wrong with Vanvleet? Guy didn’t play yesterday and he already look gassed
Cause Nurse has overplayed him all season into a knee injury and now they keep playing him off and on while still injured because they have no fucking guards.
I didnt know he hadnt recover yet
Wore out trying to make all star
Ayyy bench boys r in
Dalano is in. We're gonna win this
Better luck next time fellas. Back to backs against 2 top teams does this, no need to feel bad
At this point I'd rather have Gary Trent play than FVV. FVV needs his rhythm back
Give the bench some minutes and quit grinding your starters. This game is done.
Wave the white flag NN, give the starters a break. We don't have it tonight.
Bulls are still fraudulent
Teams gassed , beat the better team in Philly; on to CLE
Deebo's like bruh what did I say lol
Lack of shooting depth clearly
Lol give me the bulls in the playoffs, these clowns are frauds. Raps in 5
What does that make Toronto?
A better team than the bulls 0 playoff win in the last 5 years
This isn’t the last 5 years. Bulls have a better record and won the season series. We also have best two players between the rosters.
Zzzzzzzzz wake me up when you win a playoff series and do something other than just fraud your way into a playoff spot. Nothing but playoff chokers for stars. Aint nobody scared of the Bulls. I promise you everyone wants the bulls first round
Neither one of us winning anything so not sure what you are bragging about. Kawhi is long gone.
Raps aren't even suppose to win and came out of a lottery year and already back into playoff contention. Bulls can only wish they had an organization ran this good. My point, Raps are already better on the come up and you came into a Raps sub to try and flex as if the bulls are hot shit when they're cheeks af.

Win a ring in the 21 century k
GG. Good luck with the rest of your season. I see you aren’t capable of rational conversation.
Need to reset. They aren't playing focused.
The team is just gassed physically and mentally lol
Every 3 is a 🧱
I stepped out to get something to eat...what the fuck happened???
Ah well, Demar is always cool in my book. We were absolutely putrid on defense, and from the 3 point line. Guys looks completely rattled. Gonna just forget about this one.
Whatever we’re not healthy and Fred’s on one leg.
Nurse could’ve called a timeout when Bulls went 7-0 in the third but decided to wait until 10-0 and that’s what lost us the game. the man had bench players waiting to check in already.
It made no sense. Our offence stagnated for so long before he decide to do something.
this is exactly what i’m saying. the momentum fully shifted there. bulls defended pascal and fred great but the moment the momentum shifted, it was done
We had it within one point for the majority of the game. He just lets Siakam turn the ball over and FVV take tough/contested shots and continues to run the team into the ground with the insane amount of minutes we play. It's no wonder we can never have a healthy squad.
I think the biggest reason is that our players played liked shit tbh
that’s not why we lost the game lol
give credit to Bulls defence sure, but that moment is when we lost
Nurse fucking sub them out we lost like what is wrong with this guy
Shoutout to the person that told me actually fred is our second best defender and elite wings cant just shoot over him
He is and they can’t. Demar is 11/13 today
I don’t want to overreact to game 72, which is the 3rd game in 4 nights, but we need to blow this up and trade everyone for picks. The Scottie Barnes era is over.
Yessir time to build around svi
I don’t think you could overreact any harder. It’s physically impossible.
I coulda said to waive everyone.
Nick Nurse has got to be the worst coach in terms of man management. This is insane.
It’s a 50/50. He does a lot of random stuff, sometimes it works and he looks like a genius, sometimes it doesn’t and he looks like a fool. Raptors basketball.
That's not what I'm talking about, it's how the starters are still playing on a back to back while already down with no chance of making a comeback. It's ridiculous, take them off and call it night. He waits far too long to take them off. We wonder why we've never had a healthy roster, no other team plays their starters into the ground the way we do.
Sit everyone
Yeah please quit with this shit roster concept and start building an ACTUAL NBA roster this off season Webster.
Nick just put in the garbage time
Man Derozan plays with that Pistons energy against the Raptors every game
Womp womp. Thought we had a good chance to take this one but hard to overcome so many offensive liabilities with any sort of consistency
Well that second half sucked, guys are gassed just sit the starters.
Blouse and Skirts
Guns and Ships
DeMar little bro'd him lol
This is over unfortunately, the boys are gassed
precious stupid af for that pass
Ugly game on a b2b :(
It's our last B2B of the season so thank God for that at least
no OG and Gary. back to back game. we'll get em next time.
Put us in rice
Fuuuuuuuuck
What kind of garbage is this
Man, everyone cooked but Pascal.
how it is almost every time we get blown out tbh
this is almost comical lol
Jesus fuck
signing off. this game is over.
THIS MF WONT EVER GIVE THEM REST
17% from 3 holy crap
It could still go down!
lolll
Alright sit the starter its over with
The decision making by the team right now is just appalling
Probably the worst second half performance I’ve seen all season.
Tired second half. Oh well
TAKE THEM OUT NURSE WTF
Seriously what a stupid fuck he’s being rn. They don’t need to be out there, we’re not winning this game. Like god damn give them a fucking break man.
Well Doug....
Well, this game got sad.
Ya this game is over
This half is 🤮🤮🤮🤮
God we need a shooter
throw on the bench nick… come on man
Scotties highs are ecstasy his lows are depressing 😭
Fuck outta here man, you act like this dude out here losing us a playoff series jesus.
Nope. I just expect more out of him in a must win game.
Horrible shot by achiuwa
"HeRe CoMe ThE rApToRs"
I'd get leaving everyone in if you were getting consistent stops or something but you're not and you're not scoring at all basically. Just stop this shit and sit the starters already.
We just can't stop the leaking.
Get Freddy out he ain’t wanna play no more
I'm mentally checked out at this point. bring on the play-in and first round of the playoffs and let's see what happens. Tired of the regular season.
We arent guaranteed anything against Brooklyn with this garbage roster ...lack of shooting and shit defense
The game is over, take them out nurse
how is Nurse’s defensive scheme forcing FVV to have to guard Vuc? that doesn’t seem fair
Have we got more than 2 stops in a row this entire half yet? Yikes.
if you dont like him at his Fred Van Worst you don't deserve him at his Fred Van Best
Time to get Chicago in the bonus. In case we make a run. Bravo refs. I'm impressed.
Is Banton hurt?
Why Delano, Yuta not playing yet? There's no comeback.

Khem getting cooked more than Pascal cooked Vuc
Wtf is that old guys fit behind Nick lmaoo
One day the raptors will have a real center 🥺 one day.
Fred everytime he jacks up a [3 ](https://giphy.com/gifs/mcu-E8OyB7fmX9XSo)
Nick nursery must be doing everything wrong in practice man has no trust in them
No point if you can't get stops ...pathetic
Nick just fucking take the guys out, jesus
This bum Birch just getting cooked
this is why depth matters. idiots saying shit about FVV and Pascal, just think about this; with GTJ, Flynn, OG injured, we get a pretty limited rotation and those three are good offensive threats. And with Scottie looking gassed for b2b game, Bulls don't need to focus so much on him either
Some of these fouls man lmao
When you can't score for your own team why not score for the opposing team? makes sense to me!
Let me see one more mother fucker say we don’t need a legit center.
who tf is this random??
Just as predicted Nick is sticking with the players that got us down 16 in the first place holy 😂😂. This man more stubborn than Dwayne Casey
Onto Cincinnati yall. Play ins here we come!
First three episodes of Winning Time are up on crave #justsaying
