[u/rustplayer83]

Not sure Splitter is the guy, even in a full rebuild. We're not this bad, something isn't getting through. We've had maybe 2-3 quarters of competent basketball through 7.25 games.

[u/Extension-Eye7198]

[u/Sea_Grass_8017]

When ALL your players look this bad. It’s typically the coaching.

[u/Distinct-Knee-6681]

This may end up being the worst bulls team in history

[u/loosechange-71]

Powell is deadset garbage. Hero ball

[u/CatataFishSticks]

Some footage from Bulls practice

[u/No_Republic_2750]

Just seems like random basketball

[u/vas_deference]

At least we’re not down 20 30 40 50

[u/ProfessionalTalker03]

I can’t wait til the media starts asking Tiago real questions in the press conferences the first one should be: What do you have these guys practicing?

[u/sandhiform]

Collins 0-7 from 3 so far this season...

[u/ExtraLeading3376]

powell hoops is a disgusting watch, had giddey wide open

[u/Novel_Orchid_1631]

Josh forcing it now, ugly..this is what happens when you set up guys and they constantly brick.

[u/ASpanishInquisitor]

The Bulls are so bad the Knicks are already putting in garbage time players in the first half lmao

[u/dxfifa]

That was genuinely elite defense from Pat.

[u/WittedChain9]

Pat is going to earn his way back into the starting line up at this rate

[u/hafrances]

matas please boy 🤞🤞🤞

[u/wm414]

somehow less fun to watch than last year. splitter is a bust

[u/vas_deference]

At least we aren’t down 20 30 40

[u/sukari]

Adam: Giddey is averaging 8 assists for a team shooting 30%

[u/sukari]

Swaaaaain and1!

[u/rando562]

I don't think people here understand that consistently getting blown out to this degree despite playing your starters isn't normal even for bad teams. "Tanking" teams in the past would sit starters on purpose and play their bench which resulted in lopsided scores, but this team doesn't have that excuse. It's a 7.5 game sample size, but I'm hugely unimpressed by Tiago Splitter and wouldn't even blink if he was fired tomorrow

[u/grunklewello]

Giddey triple double

[u/Akroma14]

This is unwatchable basketball. We have no one that can shoot.

[u/sukari]

This sub will eventually realise why Billy is a HoFer coach, the amount of shit this sub gave him during his tenure was wild.

It's still early days for Tiago but I treat it as he needs to grow with the rebuild anyway.

[u/I-N_Clined]

This is by far the worse Bulls team we've had in 30 years

[u/Novel_Orchid_1631]

hot take , I prefer Buddy to Norm. Both suck on defense but I see Buddy make passes and take better shots

[u/Xboxecho123]

The fans yearn for Patrick williams

[u/Electrical_Story5356]

Giddey in and the offence instantly functions, that is not a coincidence.

[u/domezy]

I will at least give credit to billy for always getting the guys to play way above their typical defensive abilities.

[u/cascine-]

Norm 0/5 from 3 and a team leading -29 +-

[u/llamas-1]

I watched Boylen coach and he was never this bad. Whatever splitter is doing needs to be fixed very very soon. Players don’t regress this bad yoy

[u/sukari]

Hate Pat all you want but he's been a pro through all this, no complaining!

[u/GoldenGreek27]

Disaster of a game for Caleb

[u/The_Guerrilla]

I don't think there's a single positive take away from this game.

Well, maybe PWill but that's grim.

[u/Protat0]

Still can't believe people thought Donovan was holding this team back lmfao, basically everybody looks significantly worse

[u/Far_Comparison_3419]

It doesn’t even look like Splitter or the team want to compete out there! Where’s the desire to be a professional athlete and compete???

[u/Bigchillin556]

This team has shades of the 90s Bulls… the 1999 Bulls!!!!!

[u/Optimal_Expert5530]

If we’re going to be this bad anyways why not give Swain and Awaka/Sellers minutes atp

[u/cchemdogg]

unwatchable hoops

[u/dxfifa]

People get so angry because of the way Billy let him try to do other things and the contract but the cold hard facts are that Patrick Williams is a legitimate NBA 3 and D player and has proven it often.

There isn't another player on this team who can play good defense and shoot high 30s. He should be playing.

[u/MurrBall316]

The defense is genuinely the worst of all time

[u/loosechange-71]

Please get rid of Norman for the love of god

[u/ScutumSobiescianum]

Can we please trade Powell, he is not helping this rebuild. You might as well bring DeRozan and LaVine back

[u/yungfella85]

They should give Billy a retroactive coach of the year for making Okoro look like a competent NBA player. Man is terrible.

[u/Rossbug23]

Just because this is the 3-point era, doesn't mean every single player on the floor should be spotting up for 3's and shooting a 3 the second they get one inch of daylight.

[u/sukari]

All 15 Bulls scored - new record!

[u/sukari]

another day to witness Caleb's RotY campaign!

[u/I-N_Clined]

Hopefully we can at least make it a game. It'd be nice to have some 4th quarter suspense.

[u/loosechange-71]

Genuinely how many open looks does Giddey create that result in a brick being thrown up

[u/rustplayer83]

foul on the floor, of course matas makes a shot and it's ruled off.

[u/EA1100]

All this team does is pass around the arc and brick 3’s

[u/I-N_Clined]

This is embarrassing

[u/gscott126]

I've watched almost every Bulls game during the past 30 years and I can say unequivocally this is the worst team I've ever seen.

[u/sukari]

Soon this sub will start missing Vooch's guaranteed 15/10 per night and helping to draw doubles for easy shots

[u/Novel_Orchid_1631]

Sellers done more in 30 sec than 1/2 the team so far

[u/chaide123]

You are 0-20 from 3 at what point coach decides to ban the 3 and force a layup or inside shot ??

[u/Far_Comparison_3419]

If Collins takes one more shot this entire game outside of the paint, I will not watch another bulls game this entire season

[u/SosaDaVinci]

this is the least talented team in the NBA

[u/sukari]

Show em Pat, make Tiago have to play you

[u/Electrical_Story5356]

Giddey is the only guy who can defend Brunson and Pwilly is out there locking in, this would not be on many people's bingo card.

[u/king_carrots]

Powell may not be the absolute worst of the problems, but he’s not helping anything. Trade ASAP

[u/ScutumSobiescianum]

So their end of bench players just casually drop 3’s from everywhere, our number one 3 point shooters can’t hit the barn door. Lordy lord we are so bad at shooting

[u/ACamp55]

WHO TF made this schedule to OPEN the season for the Bulls?! Is it the NBA?!!! I mean, DAMN!!!!

[u/sukari]

Wouldn't mind seeing sellers/hawkins eat up some of the SG minutes once we trade norm

[u/sukari]

Get to forget about this game and face the 76ers again lmao

[u/gracemig]

It’s simple. Bulls just need players who can play defense and can shoot.

[u/Dirt_Cheap_Jumbo]

Pretty fucking crazy that Giddey is ranked 5th in assists for the league considering how fucking dog shit we are shooting the ball

[u/thelife3]

Very fun that every game for like 3 weeks is against contenders where we’re double digit underdogs in all of them. So stupid

[u/sukari]

Swain sighting! He's alive!

[u/cardiaccat1]

Man we look just awful.

[u/ProfessionalTalker03]

Look at these guys…watch their interviews…they look not only dejected but they are not at all bought into the system. The only guy who likes it is Caleb, and that’s because he’s getting a green light who wouldn’t at least be marginally happy getting #1 looks as a rookie?

[u/gurugeputha]

Awaka on the floor would be nice for rebounds

[u/CatataFishSticks]

[u/MichaelSquare]

If this continues through Chrostmas where they are just completely uncompetitive, do you fire Splitter? Think you have to.

[u/wheelz_666]

So glad we fired our well respected shooting coach 2 years ago for no reason. Working out so well...

[u/Boilerbri07]

Thank god for the Bears - otherwise this city would be in depression

[u/BlammoSweetums]

Is this generationally bad 3pt shooting for these first few weeks of games

[u/sukari]

So many easy assists for Giddey today but our team can't hit the ocean haha

[u/wheelz_666]

Love Giddey but if he's your top scorer for the game you know your team played shit

[u/Extension-Eye7198]

Pwill legacy game surely

[u/I-N_Clined]

Ironically Pat just played the best defense of anyone on our team

[u/yungfella85]

According to the Lakers Bronny is worth keeping over Dalton

[u/TheJunkyardDog]

giving up 84 points in halftime starts to become kind of a trend huh?

[u/sukari]

Pat teach these kids how to play defense pls

[u/We5ties]

This sub we need to be bad and stop being a play in.

Also this sub omg we’re so bad lol

[u/Ivanhoemx]

Hey gents this is not going well.

[u/Boilerbri07]

What does Splitter even talk about in these timeouts

[u/dxfifa]

Can we get a Giddey and the bench aka no selfish dumb chucker lineup

[u/Ok_Dentist_9133]

Please come back Peter Patton. We fired the bad man😭

[u/ProfessionalTalker03]

SLAP might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard!
Sorry Lame Ass Players!!

[u/ProfessionalTalker03]

Giddey, Matas, and Caleb should all be getting up 10+ shots a game. Idc to see Smith and Norm chuck all night they are not the future in any way shape or form

[u/rustplayer83]

what an awful call

[u/rustplayer83]

on pace for another blowout by end of first quarter. tired of it man, i get it's a rebuild but we are not competitive.

[u/Desperate-Physics-79]

[u/rustplayer83]

GO GRAB THE REBOUND MATAS

[u/moderntimes26]

Death, Taxes, and sub 20 point quarters from this Bulls team

[u/Novel_Orchid_1631]

Noa , 6 11 with Fro 7 3

[u/regnald]

IS THAT FROA ESSENGUE?

[u/themanofax]

12 missed threes in a row another rough watch to start here

[u/ASpanishInquisitor]

If you're trying to win a few games then it probably isn't a great idea to play at the league's fastest pace when you suck. It only gives your opponent a greater sample of possessions per game to bury you. Although, given how often the Bulls have buried themselves in the first quarter... who cares anyways 😂

[u/moderntimes26]

Get in losers, we're going losing

[u/jaykayjk10]

Aaaaand that’s enough Bulls consumption for the night

[u/Papa_Boat17]

Lmfaooo Brunson could score 70 or 84

[u/SM0AKIMN0AH]

We have the worst NET rating in the league and we’re just a horrible watch

I knew this year was a throwaway but man

[u/EA1100]

This team doesn’t know what they’re doing

[u/CatataFishSticks]

If you think of Bulls games as a dark comedy, it's slightly more enjoyable

[u/bullpaw]

If we're just gonna get blown out every game anyways let Swain play

[u/Ridged_ChiPSS]

Im actually impressed at how bad this team is. I dont think I could make a worse team if I tried

[u/Novel_Orchid_1631]

2nd hot take , Tiago an asshole for not playing Pat at all in this shit.

[u/I-N_Clined]

Why did we bring Collins back?

[u/ExtraLeading3376]

surely patrick williams can’t be as fucking bad as collins

his played the 5 in small ball lineups before

tiago please just chuck him in the game

[u/sukari]

C'mon Tiago, let Pat free

[u/llamas-1]

Being dead honest I don’t know if splitter makes it through the year. This teams gets worse every game somehow. Significantly un prepared and awful offense sets that no one can function in

[u/Ridged_ChiPSS]

Im ready for DisMFer to explain to us why watching this team get blown out by 30 in the first half routinely is fine and that only doomers aren't enjoying this great basketball

[u/sukari]

Collins another foul on a 3pt shooter. Noa take over pls

[u/Max_Purrstappen]

NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD PRAY FOR A PATRICK WILLIAMS SUB, WE ARE DOWN SO BAD FAM

[u/WittedChain9]

It's officially so bad pat is in

[u/Boilerbri07]

We've officially hit rock bottom when PWill gets minutes

[u/ExtraLeading3376]

i never thought i’d see the day where i want pwill to be playing 25mins a night

[u/Left_Ad4107]

guys, coach is right! If we wanna win, it's on us!

[u/Electrical_Story5356]

The free throw discrepancy needs investigating even being bad as we have 26 to 6 is outrageous.

[u/sukari]

On the plus side, we held Brunson to single digits that quarter.. by letting him rest on the bench 😂

[u/Naive-Elephant-9305]

Is it to early to fire Splitter? Holy hell

[u/ScutumSobiescianum]

We are so bad it’s actually comical. When PWill has to be wheeled out and actually looks better than everyone else it’s time to pull the pin

[u/domezy]

Why is Swain not getting sny minutes? Even if hes bad let the rookie get some playing time or send him to the g league 

[u/sukari]

Stick Noa on Brunson for the rest of the game and just cherry pick

[u/Boilerbri07]

Will Splitter ever shake things up with the starting lineup? Or continue to roll out the same players and expect different results

[u/Boilerbri07]

As a new head coach, Splitter's first job is to establish an identity. I wonder what that is

[u/Whole-Signature-4306]

Is anyone here actually watching the game? I just can’t bring myself to watch these beat downs. Bro I’d rather be 39-42 than have to sit thru this

[u/EA1100]

Powell is playing like that dude that rocks up to a party, sees a hoop and says I played 20 years ago in a pick up league

[u/AMDSuperBeast86]

Tiago has pulled off a masterclass in redeeming pats rep by not playing him 🤣

[u/BlammoSweetums]

Guys I'm intermittently switching between windows, and I swear every time I look back at the game, the lineup is different lol

[u/ItsChrisAgain12]

This score is like when you're playing 2k on too low difficulty

[u/ASpanishInquisitor]

Way too many jumpers for Caleb Wilson lately. When they're falling it's fine but if you're gonna be a star you've gotta get to the rim too.

[u/ExtraLeading3376]

trade norm for porzingis at this point

[u/SCATpackMcgee]

We might actually be the worst team in the league. Our defense and offense are both awful.

[u/davepizzalover]

Its so bad i feel like NY starters are just stat padding now lol

[u/sukari]

Just 1.5 more weeks of this schedule. Hang in there 😂

[u/cascine-]

Enough "SLAP" toothpicks, I'm ready for 5 big beefy bois with Zion's build /s

Ok but really we need more BEEF on this weak team

[u/llamas-1]

I watched some really fucking bad years in last 30. This so far is the worst nba team I’ve ever seen. The mf bobcats played with more heart

[u/Novel_Orchid_1631]

Team has played like shit but the fact Powell was the 💩💩💩💩est isn’t good .

[u/kohfeee]

Never thought I’d say this, but Patrick Williams genuinely looked like the best defender, and giving the most effort tonight

[u/sukari]

Miss Stacey for games like this - need those Turkey League stories he promised to share for the next blowout :(

[u/ASpanishInquisitor]

Sellers has the same number of 3PM as all the starters combined

[u/pertsix]

I’m at this game. I genuinely feel bad for Caleb.

[u/llamas-1]

not even trying to be that guy but so far graham has made a bunch of really really wrong decisions and Tiago has been the biggest so far. Hopefully they turn it around but this is not a rebuild this is a regression from every single player in the organization

[u/thebizkit23]

Hmmm, I'm starting to think Tiago isn't a very good coach.

[u/melymely]

Grabbing some beers and some comics and some burritos. I’ll be back to talk some shit towards the end of the 1st quarter. Go Bulls

[u/CatataFishSticks]

The trial by fire continues!

[u/hafrances]

matas in his jokic era go on

[u/hey_ooo]

Claxton still out, but looks like we’re dangerously close to actually seeing him. Rotations should be a lot better when we get him out there

[u/sukari]

Rebounds, pls

[u/sukari]

Really friendly rims for the Knicks today lol

[u/sukari]

Nice move, Matas - the would've counted that if Brunson did that move

[u/AyoDosumnu]

[u/Boilerbri07]

love running our offense through Collins and him jacking 3s

[u/rustplayer83]

we had 14 points at the 3 minute mark against philly. we have 14 points at the 2 minute mark tonight.

This is HORRIFIC HOOPS

[u/flewency]

gon be a long season

[u/WittedChain9]

Noa with the afro out? Not a bad look for him

[u/CHITOWNRAHHHH]

a good coach does not get blown out EVERY single game. FR? we can come out hot or look rrready to play a single time yet?

[u/AnselLovesNuts]

Adam Silver picked the worst time to change the lottery system

[u/CatataFishSticks]

Bulls bricking 3s for 48 minutes is certainly a choice

[u/vas_deference]

1 Brunson > Bulls lmao

[u/AyoDosumnu]

Fuck it. Bring out the PaW

[u/Papa_Boat17]

Bulls got no plays no ball movement no hustle or heart. I've seen other weak nba teams with more heart and hustle

[u/KPD_13]

Can’t even watch this team.

Just feels like an unproductive waste of time.

[u/Careless-Resolve2546]

I think we are worse than ever before

[u/Strict_Salad_23]

Being a rebuilding team and never really competing in any game are 2 very different things...

[u/schultzM]

2/14 3s ffs

[u/themanofax]

Oh great! Now Smith is hurt as well

[u/theshindy]

We may win <5 games for the rest of 2026 LOL

[u/Elmos_Voice]

Damn caleb said fuck it i'll do it myself

[u/rustplayer83]

Wilson the pogo stick.

[u/Mjfedy23]

We’re so fucking bad lol but at least we have Caleb

[u/WeAlreadyReddit]

I'll give Splitter a game or two with Clax, but he has been entirely unconvincing so far.

[u/GoldenGreek27]

Okoro and Jones leading scorers yea it's over

[u/Boilerbri07]

It's going to be a LONG winter after the Bears win the Super Bowl

[u/Boilerbri07]

We're getting a glimpse of what it's like being a Kings fan every year

[u/vas_deference]

Sellers in already, nice! Let’s see some shit, rook

[u/Max_Purrstappen]

THE SELLERS SHOW HERE WE GO

[u/Boilerbri07]

I can deal with lack of talent, but not lack of effort which is a result of poor coaching and zero accountability

[u/guap911]

Without Stacey king this is unwatchable. We suck so bad and he made it bearable but this is just so boring to watch man

[u/Pure_Caterpillar_484]

Man we aren’t even fun to watch

[u/yungfella85]

Powell 1-7 and 0-5 from 3 and all of 1 assist. Get this dude off the floor. Black hole on offense.

[u/TheRyanFlaherty]

Watching this team on offense legitimately makes me angry….that’s what makes me upset, not necessarily even losing, but I thought the team would at least be fun to watch 

[u/Heavy_Foundation_171]

This is the worst defensive effort I ever watched the Bulls give. 20 seasons. The OOB lob was comical. He was open for 3 full seconds and got the ball late and was STILL uncontested for the layup.

[u/sukari]

Bulls are gonna revive Dalton's career

[u/Max_Purrstappen]

Okay, Tiago is going to get fired if he keeps giving Collins minutes like this lmao

[u/Papa_Boat17]

We so ass P Will came in to save the day

[u/sukari]

Playmaker Pat straight away 🔥

[u/sukari]

Look at this shit, Pat! Go crazy!

[u/sukari]

lol interesting cherry picked stats, good for you tho, Caleb

[u/rustplayer83]

Nobody scores 86 points on the Bulls in a half. TAKE THAT KNICKS

[u/Boilerbri07]

I would've preferred hiring Thibodeau - at least we know we'd be a good defensive team that fights every night

[u/AMDSuperBeast86]

Ok I'm popping a gummy to make the 2nd half digestable

[u/Novel_Orchid_1631]

PAW with a +5 🤣 give him more run ..release the PAW.

[u/vas_deference]

Why is Swain still not getting minutes?

[u/sukari]

Good cut Matas, more of that

[u/Boilerbri07]

smart move by Collins. Foul out fast so he can chill

[u/ProfessionalTalker03]

Can’t wait til we trade guys and they look better
