 What's the word y'all? I guess we gotta talk about the bulls again, huh? Boy, oh boy. And again, I'm assuming that 90% of y'all don't really care about the bulls, but you like to see me In pain. So thank you for that. Thank you for clicking on the video The last time we made a bulls-centric video in that video, I said I'm done talking about them this season until they make a trade because there's no way in the world that they don't make a trade this year And here here we go They make zero tricks And we already went on a rant about this last video that you saw was a few days ago We already went on a rant in the last five minutes about the bulls making no trades I'm not over that, but we're not going to rehash that the trade that line has passed And the bulls have not won the game and now we look at the fact that we did not make any trades Whether it be to buy it to sale or whatever to to move the needle in one way or another We look back on that and say dang We probably should have did something, huh? And it's just infuriating to watch this team do the things that they do because listen They went against the indiana pacers second time this month from now mistaken last time we played against them tj mcconnell had zack levine in a torture chamber He he dominated that man Zach Levine had one of his worst games of his not just of this season of his career Because tj mcconnell was all over the place and that's when you could tell zack levine made it a point to be like No, that's not happening again. The bulls start off this game spectacular. They are about 20 points and they lost the first time they lost Blue with 20 point leads in the antipacers there wasn't even a tiris halibur Which makes it even worse but all star resources back which is cool for him But for me as a bulls fan It's just terrible and this is from kasey johnson. The bulls have blown leads of 24 21 21 19 and 16 That is five games that they've blown And when they were up by 15 or more points this season alone and technically we're past a halfway point But we're not even at the all-star break just yet And and this team looks defeated this team looks demoralized and and we knew NBA NBA fans or bulls fans knew after that elite level first quarter The second quarter came around the pace went on a little mini run and the lead was still like 16 And i'm seeing on my timeline here. We go again because we all saw it Unfolded again. We have we have like PTSD from these type of things that you just think that one day they'll close it out one day to close it out They never close it out and they lose another game when they're in the hunt The the power this is what carney shova said in the post not trading for anybody We see that a lot of the power went out west Basically saying that the brick on that sold at the deadline the brick and that's have one more games post that line that we have If we've had the easier schedule of the two Yeah Yeah, the the powers have shifted. No, my girl bridges have 45 points today The bulls ain't got that right now. You know what i'm saying and it's just frustrating and this is going to be I'm gonna say this but I don't know for sure It feels like the last time we're going to talk about the bulls this season There's 24 more games and again, I'm going to watch all 24 as I do I'm gonna put myself through this torture But I have to make a video to get out my frustrations to get out the frustrations of the fan base in general There's a video on the Chicago Bulls subreddit and I'm not gonna play it for you because I don't know if the NBA or the bulls are gonna get upset about this But it's a four and a half minute video of billy donovan in different post conferences Seeing the god the same thing He's saying the same thing. We got to play with more intensity We add to have competitiveness and it's a four and a half minute video of him saying the same since it's over and over And over after losses like I know I'm gonna say there needs to be changed But we we're not gonna get it bulls fans. We're not gonna get actual change until the legitimate The legitimate offseason, they're not gonna fire billy donovan They just signed an extended they gave him extension this offseason. They kept it on the low low They kept it on the hush y'all We didn't find out that this man signed extension until he was into this season But he signed it five months ago five months previously So they're not about to fire this man. This is the this is the weight of the chicago bulls It keep people around for way too long and I honestly do believe that he's lost the locker room There's rumors about him and zack levine clashing after a few months ago Zach Levine was benched in a game where he was having a terrible terrible night Zach Levine said hey, I think I have have showed the world that I deserve to be out there Even if I'm not having a good night and I understand what zack levine is coming from But that game specifically he was killing us And I even tweeted in that game billy get zack out the game and billy did like he Like somebody who's looking at my tweets, you know, I'm saying on the salad. No, he did And that might have caused the ripple between their relationship today zack levine played a phenomenal game for uh, what I want to say is it a 48 minute game, right? He played a phenomenal game for 45 minutes And those last couple because the the the paces are coming back And there's no de mar de rose in this when nobody else in the bulls looks to do anything with the ball He felt like he needed to be hero and in the last shot he attempted was the definition of hero ball Shots here of all a series that I had executive produced and it's coming back for y'all that's been waiting for it's coming back very very soon Um, and he took a heavily contested bad shot. The defense was bad and Ultimately, we blew another 20 point lead. I don't know. I'm looking at this video I forgot to mention one crucial crucial part of this and it's that the offense is awful Which makes no sense. We have de mar de rose and zack levine evusivist These are three supposed to be offensive juggernauts and they can't score They scored under a hundred points in the in the last two weeks I think four different times the defense for the most part this season has been solid You know what I'm saying? I think they're top 10 in defense, but the offense is like 24th What since does that? That that's now that alone has to come down to coaching, right? But like that that has to be a coaching problem that you have all of these The supreme offensive weapons and you still cannot score and anytime the bulls do anything bad or start losing You obviously my mentions are like some paces fans are coming out. Oh candy You know, that's the way it works, you know, I've accepted that when my team loses The opposing fan base is going to come into my mentions and talk to us. That's fine. I'm okay with that But the the stuff that sucks more is the the bulls fans that are you know in this with me like Kenny I don't even know what I want us to do And I swear I've been the same exact boat as you I'm in the same exact boat as you now that we now we know we can't do anything this season, right? Whatever happens to that pick this top four protector. So be it. I don't care about it You know when a lottery happens and it says the seventh overall pick goes to the Orlando magic by the way of the Chicago Bulls I've accepted. I'm not even gonna be mad at it because we ain't getting Vic. We ain't getting school. Whatever post that What do the bulls do to give hope again because right now? within the fan base There is no hope there's the the connector are connecting piece lines of ball We don't know anything about him and he was the last grain of hope Within the fan base and I think a majority of us have come to the realization that he's just not gonna play this season Whatever, um, but he was one of the last pieces of hope So if we could just hold it together till zoe comes back we'll go back on that great run In reality, we are I knew I've been saying this at the beginning of the season He was not coming back this year. So now we don't got that hope We didn't make any trace the deadline. So many of us are prepared for this this Off season to be like, oh iota sumo. Chicago's very own He's probably gonna be on a different team. Kobe why who's been having a phenomenal season off the bench? He's probably gonna be on a different team voosevich. Oh, we're gonna extend voose We might see a a tweet in the next the next 48 hours No, not that soon But the next couple weeks of the bulls extended voosevich because the deadline to get extended is like march whatever So then we're gonna be committing again to to maybe not this core exactly between zack levine The marta rose and vooch but vooch in itself and again voose is not having a bad season I think voose having an underrated season because because we're always going to compare it to france vogner Window carter and that additional first round pick that we gave up You're always going to compare it to that and he's not having an all-star season like the version of him We traded for but he's undoubtedly having a better season than he was last season. So he's been good But I don't want him back We pigeonholed ourselves to the point we basically have to Because chicago bulls don't go into the luxury tax. So if we let voosevich walk Our center possessive for next season somebody on the minimum javail mcgee welcome to chicago type stuff You know, so we basically committed ourselves to mediocrity again And and that has been the definition of the chicago bulls post Derrick rose aco injury That's just who we have been and it obviously sucks because i'm supporting this team, but it's not It's not a unique feeling You know, some of y'all watch this video that aren't bulls fans are going through the exact same thing as me We're like for the entirety of the last five years You've seen your team be mediocre not necessarily be bad not necessarily be the worst team in the league But just mediocre We're just like a 500 team and listen the bulls not even close to 500 at this point. We're significantly under significantly under um And overall is just really no hope and and that's a terrible place you want your fan base to be You don't want it to be hopeless. There should always be some string of hope And and I think my last string of hope for my chicago bulls is patrick williams You know year three of his nba career a year two was completely taken away from him He played a handful of games after he got injured against the nicks in the first two weeks And then his rookie season. He had no no training camp I mean he'd had no summer league or anything like that So I still have a lot of hope for patrick williams not that I think he's going to be the next Kauai Leonard or he's going to be a superstar kind of a player But with him being 21 years old and showing flashes I think last month in january was his best month as an nba player as far as statistically goes And then the reason why some people have lost hope is that february He's back to be in the past of not doing enough type thing where you have eight points in one quarter Then won't score again into the fourth, you know So it's it's ups and downs, but he's a young player with little experience He was a project when he got drafted, you know what I'm saying? So he's my last grain of hope and I still I see dayland terry getting minutes now So that's kind of cool, but other than that I'm I'm counting down the days to something significant happens And maybe the super unfortunate part is that since carney shovis and mark eversley have committed to this core They might be too stubborn to make the big move Demarda rosen is going into the last year of his deal and it's an extremely team friendly deal He's an all-star player for two years in a row here in chicago There's going to be teams that are they're going to call about demarda rosen But unfortunately you waiting until he's on the last year of his deal Hindered some of the value that he's going to have and he's an above 30 year old player So his value just on the daily basis is going down because he's getting closer and closer to Hitting the the wall where he won't be getting better or he just will start to plateau or get worse Zach Levina started to play better in the last couple months But you you gave him 200 plus amps and I know for sure that would be teams interested But the value of him is not going to be Oh, we're trading for two time offs or Zach Levina Like I think that if we do end up trading Zach Levina's offseason I guess it really depending on how his last couple months go this season Some bulls fans or some people might look back on the train like that's how we gaff us Zach Levine Two-time all-star Average of 20 he averaged 27 points per game on amazing and physically two seasons ago. That's all we got for him We're trading away demarda rosen a two-time all-star. That's all we got for him And that's just hypothetical if they decide to make these deals. So that's just just the way we are Um, chicago in general. She's been terrible for sports fans, bro The bulls suck the only saving grace is that chicago sky won a champ shout out to the to the wba They won a championship a couple years ago, but this offseason for the sky has been awful We've we've lost kandace parker. We lost we lost, um, uh, vander sloop Um, we made a trade recently though. Um, and I'm not I'm not gonna act like I'm a wba Super fan or no a ton of stuff, but they did make a trade that I saw some some sky fans that I follow Really excited about but we we lost The core that helped us win a championship here The chicago white socks is owned by the same people that owns the chicago bulls and they don't want to spend no money We gave we gave ben attendee a bunch of money. He was the largest contract in chicago bulls history I was just playing mlb 23 and looking at the ratings. We're bad in game We gave mike cleavager all of this money and potentially Allegedly, he's he domestically abused his spouse We don't want that here in chicago the bears have hope with the first overall pick and they have just in fields Who looked amazing on second half of the season? We don't know if they're gonna trade down that first round first overall pick I'm excited about that potentially The cubs were buyers this off season. So like cody belliger is now in town, which will be fun. I'll be hitting up wriggly Um, the chicago fire who I will be going to fire games this year They were one of the worst teams in the league last year. So again here in chicago There's not a lot of hope amongst sports fans And they didn't even mention the blackhawks are one of the worst teams in their their league as well We just all struggling We was all struggling and the last year bulls made us think that hey Maybe chicago's the sports city is back It's not and it sucks
