With 45 seconds left all Boston starters have at least 17 points. Bench total 8 points.

Bulls had that player meeting after losing by 20 at home and well they need another meeting

Chet had 7 blocks

Derrick “Not top 100” White

OKC gonna induce like 10 players-only meetings this year.

Lavine is 6 for 28 so far, woof. Well just keep doing that and every day you can just bet against the bulls and profit.

Derozan’s still a very good player he’s just in the wrong era.

Nice of Pop to go to Wemby for last two plays in the clutch. If he just stop with the trolling and let Tre Jones start at PG maybe Wemby won’t start every game with 1-7

“Oh mama Wembanyama” might become standard fare.

Zach LaVine signed a 5 year / $215,159,700 contract with the Chicago Bulls, including $215,159,700 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $43,031,940. In 2023-24, LaVine will earn a base salary of $40,064,220, while carrying a cap hit of $40,064,220 and a dead cap value of $40,064,220.

ah shit

looooooooooooooooooooool this game

the raptors blew a 17 point lead with 5 minutes left all to demar derozan, but demar missed two key free throws so we’re going to OT.

oh and he got fouled with less than a second left and just hit one of two of course

been a pretty wild 12s to the end too

Demar will get traded and be a solid third option somewhere.

lmao alex caruso steals siakam then hits a 3 at the end and they win by one point.

what a ridiculous game between two non playoff teams

LOLOLOL Craptors

Luka had 49 and killed down the stretch. Made an absolutely ridiculous three that he banked in to take the lead and seal the win.

Raptors vs Bulls has to be the the best atrocious game in NBA history.

Also, Poeltl is amazing and gets screwed by refs way too much.

for those who like STATS of that wild game from espn.com

Entering Friday, teams won only five times in 10,575 contests when trailing by 17 or more points in the last five minutes of regulation since play-by-play tracking data began in 1996-97. The last team to come back from as large a deficit was the Sacramento Kings on Jan. 27, 2020, against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

According to ESPN Analytics, the Raptors had a 99.8% chance to win the game with under five minutes to go.

Derozan missed three score-tying or go-ahead free throws inside the final 15 seconds of the fourth quarter, the first player since 1997-98 to do so in a single game.

But Caruso kept finding ways to keep the game alive. He stole the ball from Scottie Barnes with 12.1 seconds remaining and the Bulls down three points, feeding it to DeRozan, who got fouled on a layup and had a chance to tie the score. After DeRozan missed a free throw that would have tied it, Caruso grabbed an offensive rebound and got the ball to DeRozan for another layup attempt, which he missed.

Caruso then drew a charge from Siakam with 3.1 seconds remaining and the Bulls down one to force another turnover, with DeRozan eventually going back to the line with a chance to win it. He converted only 1 of 2, which sent the game into overtime.

Once there, Caruso produced with the final block and a 3-pointer to seal the victory.

The bulls had runs of 20-0 and 16-0. Toronto had a 23-0 run. All of these in the first half.

Caruso is that guy who is not much of a stat sheet guy but he’s a very important guy on a team.

well thought Orlando was a bottom tier playoff team and they’re 2-0 but they actually didn’t look like much vs hou/por so that don’t really count but that division is absolute ass atl/was/car just look bad so maybe just schedule gets them there?

The scheduling is so dumb. Bucks, for example, didn’t play their first game until Thursday. Next game isn’t until Sunday and it’s the first of a back-to-back (home vs. Atlanta, Miami).
