Doesn't matter how many times you play against the same opponent on their floor, the lack of effort is troubling. Win or lose, the effort has to be consistent with this team.

YEP! Old CJ playing hero ball and missing everything. What I don't understand is why we don't trap the pick & roll when the tall rookie was on the court.

That's been the most troubling issue with this season.

Where are the middies? Where is the suddenness on drives? It's bad.

If this team plays like this for a week that's a completely different conversation and tone i will have.

I prefer to remain a little more even keeled in losses like this unless they start piling up. We all bitched when the team was under .500 after 20 games and we wound up winning 49

So how is this any different than you jumping on me for not saying Zion figured it out last game?

He just looks slow with poor lift. Can't get to the rack with any quickness and is missing that agility he's known for.

The problem is that, while he's still young, he is getting older and that will become normal for him as long as he doesn't take body maintenance seriously.

Yall do realize how hard it is to beat a team b2b games on their own court?
I can't believe a fan would draw up this excuse for Willie and co. Wow. Well I guess we should have ZERO expectation while playing a bottom 3 team in the league this many years into this rebuild because winning is hard. There are no excuses for losing to Portland. This team hasn't finished in the top 7 in the regular season standings since 2017-2018. We are way too talented to be playing this way literally every single season.

you're miserable because you chose to be critical over a guy that didn't have his shots falling filling it up everywhere else. You were only critical and ignoring everything else.

Lol I'm miserable but you're nuanced... got it.

I'm actually curious what your answer would be to the #1 pick question I asked earlier in the thread.

The Bulls beat the Bucks on the Bucks court Friday. You want to be overly critical of a 2-1 team because they lost to a bad team be my guest. You clearly didn't read the rest of my post either.

It's not like I don't agree with you bro, I'm just trying to provide perspective. It's an 82 game season.

I dont give a damn about the Bucks. The Bulls aint shite. Just like Willie's record as head coach. I'm done for the night. I'm giving praise where it is deserved this season, will be in attendance at many games. But I will not watch Zion's career get wasted here while Willie is still employed and we are getting blown out to Portland scraping by play in game appearances. This isnt 2004 anymore you need to win the easy ones.

Which is exactly what I'm doing on Zion.

I get it, we have fans so badly waiting for it to finally "click" for him the we will highlight any somewhat positive thing he does and use it as a data point to show that he is improving. But fact of the matter is, he still leaves a lot to be desired six year in and the wait for him is getting tiresome, but there's nothing we can do about it unfortunately.

Easily Ant, but I can't see how anyone wouldn't take Wemby over him. Banchero and Cunningham are toss ups at this point, I'd probably lean Zion on both but it's close... which is a problem because neither of those dudes have lived up to their billing either.

The Pelicans have never even sniffed success, Son. Maybe some humility in your arguments would help you out when others are calling out the Org. Goodnight
