Quinn hammers Blakeney on his drive, pretty sure thats a 2 after they review it.
Knicks up 20 now... Timmy with a minor explosion. Still, bad job by this team.
We win bc Lee, Kanter and Beasley played tonight.... why? Chances are both aren’t here next year.... So, if like what happened in the Steph Curry draft occurs... and we miss out on our guy bc Bulls take him at 8... shame on us.
Bulls understand the most important thing they can do now for their org is to position themselves in the lottery.... like it or not, these are the rules and teams are playing by them...
CHI shows us how to tank... simply bench everyone and anyone resembling an NBA player.
What are we doing? We’re playing our vets and all our guys... great. And just like most years, we’ll win enough games to push us out of contention for this draft’s best players.
I hear you but if we win every game from here with a starting backcourt of Trey and Nits we'll have done something. Mudiay sprained an ankle, if I was Horn I'd rest him the remainder of the season.

I?m way behind on my dvr but Kornet took a vicious facial oh wee. Looks like the Knicks are gonna with this one but boy this is ugly hoops. Who is this Hicks??? I know tank fans are disappointed, but anytime the Knicks beat the Bulls it?s a great day. I think the NBA should punish tanking teams by making them sell all merchandise and concessions half price. You shouldn?t have to pay full price for anything to see hoops this bad. It?s an abomination really. The NCAA tournament games are much more entertaining and the skill level is about the same.
Not saying it's going to happen with the Knicks history in the draft but we could wind up picking a DM or Kuzma in this years draft. How many of these top picks this year Fultz, Isaacs or previous years Russell, Okafor haven't panned out, they're are going to be better players selected lower in every draft. I do like everything I see of that kid Bridges from Villanova largely because he's ahead of these one and done guys like Michael Porter, Bridges won't be there at 9 I don't think so that will be disappointing if he goes one slot ahead of where we pick and we can hope the lottery balls fall our way finally this season as well.Bulls ended our season in Jan when they beat us 3 consecutive times. I hate the tank but the reality is this is the way things are done these days, so why bite off your nose to spite your face.
What if Bulls take the guy we really coveted at 8, and he turns out to be a HOF talent and we settle for another Jordan Hill at 9. Then, looking back, when Dunn, LaVine, the Swede and the rookie are beating us every season, will we look back at this victory on 3-19-18 and claim it was meaningful?
I hear you, and from a fan perspective I agree. Like PHI last season, how they won the lottery and leapfrogged us. We could skip ahead to 8 only to watch cHi win and we be like DAmn!
It?s just that, from an ownership perspective, the team should be doing everything it can to improve. Like what the Bulls are doing, looking for every advantage the rules allow.
This is what irks me. Not if the team win or loss or tank or not tank, it?s just that this team is rudderless and has been for nearly 20 years.
I repeat... Beasley and Lee shouldn?t play a minute anymore this season!
Some of you guys have it all wrong. It’s called a lottery for a reason. So no matter how tickets you buy, you aren’t increasing your chances by a substantial amount. If you guy down to your corner store right now and buy a million $$$ worth of tickets to the midday drawing, you aren’t guaranteeing anything except you just spent a million $$$. If you look at the NBA draft over the years rarely does the best player in the draft get played picked 1st overall. The goat MJ wasn’t the top pick in his draft, I think Kenny Skywalker was. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. So you try to pick the best player at the position the “lottery” yields. Trust me there are plenty of Bulls fans and media that hate this tanking strategy because they don’t trust Gar/Pax like we don’t trust Perry. Bulls fans also remember that odds were against them getting the pick that turned into DRose. It’s a lottery people. Lottery.
Boston gets the No. 3 pick in Thursday's draft from Philadelphia, plus either a first-rounder in 2018 and 2019. If the Los Angeles Lakers hold a pick between No. 2 and No. 5 next season, Boston gets that one. If not, Philadelphia will send Boston either its own first-rounder in 2019 or Sacramento's first-rounder that year.
