Man what a game last night. I will say it after every comeback win like you but this team last year loses by 40 in this game. Granted it was the Pistons this was a great win. Thagic Johnson continues to be an awesome role player. This team hasn’t even reached its full potential with all the injuries. The 5-8 seeds are completely open and I could not have a higher fever. Great point about tanking too because we have so many examples of free agents going to slightly above average teams because of runs they go on. Also add clippers who made it to the western conference semis before getting kawhi and pg. this team is just fun because although Zach is the star we get major contributions from role players every night. Really excited to see how we match up against Philly.

I’m writing this after hearing Went to the colts and I’m doing a 180. I think we are ultimately screwed hear now. Our starting quarterback next year as of now is Nick Foles. I keep hearing this Derek Carr rumor but after he cried on the field and lost respect from his teammates I’ve hated him. He was also the corniest dude on hard knocks but he is a decent quarterback. I don’t even know what I’m writing because I’m emotional. Thank god for the bulls

Another great example with the Clippers that I totally omitted. Exact same case. Philly game could be tough with Embiid (I don't see how we guard him for 40 minutes), but I am jacked up nonetheless.

Our starting QB won't be Nick Foles. But I'd rather go backwards than to the side.

Haven't been able to taste or smell anything for the last week, have had a deep cough, pounding headache- and I know it can only be one thing: Playoff Fever babay!!!

I said before the season that the biggest upset that can happen with the Bulls is me coming full circle on Lavine. He has been such a joy to watch this season, and when he lets the offense flow and lets his game come to him its a thing of beauty. I like the fiery edge on him wanting to guard Grant down the stretch, however we all know that needs to be PWills assignment. I understand Lavine iso being the best option for the offense some times, but it needs to come organically and not with him bringing the ball up and dribbling out the clock waiting for a screen. There was a sequence last night in which he ran to bring the ball up to do just that, then the officials reviewed a Pistons 3 pointer- Billy signaled for Coby to bring the ball up, ran through the motions, Lavine came off an off ball screen and then went to work- not giving the Pistons a chance to set up on D. That's the type of offense the Bulls need down the stretch.

Massive team win, huge shots from Coby and the Paw down the stretch. I love Thad and I am hungry for the fucking playoffs. You think the Celtics can beat us in the first round when we have home court advantage???? No way buddy! No. Way!

If LaVine could get over his inconceivable late-game conniptions, he'd be a top, I don't know, 25 player. And that would make him worth a max contract.
