Hopefully in 5 years the bulls dont suck enough we miss out on that frp

[tim_duncan_fan]

Can we please just watch Primo? There is nothing else to get out of this season besides watching Primo and getting a high draft pick.

I am feeling SO let down by guys like White and Keldon. Or just bummed that reality about them has come crashing in, really.

White in particular really does just want to be a glue guy and nothing more. Disheartening.

This. ing laughable that people here thought that losing DDR was an addition by substation, and that white, Murray, walker had this untapped offensive potential but DDR took their touches.

DDR is a really good player. Really good. Just not to 15 good where he could take teams on deep playoff runs.

Ddr is a really good player,really good

Nah. He’s still what he’s always been. We’ve seen this movie before. The bulls will flame out in the first round, at best.

I don’t understand what Johnson’s role is. He seems like an energy guy off the bench rather than a key starter. I think some of the problems on offense would go away with vassell in there.

it is funny how after dealing with us tor/chi they become instantly better while sours stay in neutral

Thunder really know how to tank tbh.

[skin27]

Like I said spurs need to tank…there is no hope on this current roster

we know spurs aren't tanking. They'll beat enough "bottom feeders " to avoid the top10,tbh

spurs need to tank and hope to get top 3 picks..so that they can move on and dump this trash roster!!lol

lol, how many seasons have we been saying that? 3? Since the kawhi debacle

[tbdog]

Derozan is definitely not a number 1 guy but he can be a number 2 or 3 guy on a good team. Spurs failed to put a good team around him. The bulls have young guys on the wings that are athletic and can cover for him defensively, and they also have a good big in Vucevic that compliments him better than LMA did.

Yes. DDR isn't going to be your batman. That ship sunk everytime it came to the docks. But he still was by far our best player.

Yes. That happens when you trade away your best player (kawhi) to get Demar

spurs did not tank after kawhi left..so now I think best scenario for this team to return to contention is to tank..

would be nice. Still,spurs aren't touching a top 6 pick this season barring a major injury or collapse

they won’t tank until Flopovich got his record

[Fireball]

excitement is slowly fading ...

[Slippy]

Team couldnt get stops .. set the tone in the 1st quarter giving up 40 . So far this season they've been good enough on that end.

DDR makes the defense worse so not sure how he helps.

[duncan2k5]

and he led us to the lottery for 2 straight years...in a weak west

[james evans]

This is the first real game that a casual would say that.

A casual? I watch about 70+ games a year hahaha. wtf. I've been on this site 5 years longer than you!!!

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Pacers shot great

[Seventyniner]

Derozan had 37 tonight and 3 out of 4 from downtown, glad we got Thaddeus young tho lmao

The Spurs were never going to give DDR the same contract the Bulls did. It was S&T or let him walk.

DDR also made a corner 3 that didn't count because he let it go just after the shot clock hit zero. He was a split second away from 40 points and 4/5 from three.

Because we were paying a guy 24 mil to not play for us. Then the year before we're starting Bryn Forbes and ing Lyles, in the god-damn west.

Just saying your comment was something a casual would say. Been a fan since the late 80's. Back in the Cadillac Anderson days. Been lurking here way before joining.
