Rob Dillingham Shines in Bulls Loss | How Many Games Will Chicago Win?
The Chicago Bulls dropped another tough one, but Rob Dillingham stepped up and led the way in the loss, showing flashes of why he remains one of the most intriguing young pieces on the roster. Haize and Pat break down Dillingham’s performance, what it means for his development, and whether he’s beginning to carve out a larger role moving forward. 🐂🔥
With losses stacking up, the bigger question becomes unavoidable:
How many games will the Bulls realistically win this season?
The guys analyze the remaining schedule, current trajectory, and whether Chicago is trending toward play-in territory — or something much lower. 📉📊
And then comes the hardest conversation:
Does ownership truly care about competing right now?
Haize and Pat examine roster decisions, deadline inactivity, and what signals the organization is sending to fans during this stretch. 👀💼
Young talent showing promise. Record sliding. Accountability looming.

Man….Matas Buzelis looks terrible.
Easy tanking process is start Patrick
Windy City Bulls playing a way better brand of ball than the Chicago Bulls. Way to team build AK
The last 7 years needs to be investigated bye the league the moves are not questionable but seem to be like decisively like sending g out anyone who. Looks good for old guys past there PRI e then blame the young kids for being like it wasn't derozen lavine vooch and ball that was beyond middle that was plan that never stood a chance one playoff win and just have sold so low any any player wow loyal or advances at all but Patrick Williams here's 5 years for 80 million worst contract in the NBA they tried to play him 35 mins 13 points😅 🖐 expecting more!! Hopefully he can move some of those seconds there is a legit top five that are franchise changing
4-0 in DA TANK‼️ woooo
Put some respect on Vucevic name. All the Vuc haters and he showing you in Boston that you don’t know what you got until it’s gone. Happy for Vuc and Ayo for finally having the opportunity to playing on a elite teams.
Bulls don't have to win They are kindergarten for development of NBA
Bulls Basketball School Matriculate soon
kkkkkkkkk live laughing stock making fun of us Fans
We already know who Simons is. I don't need to see him drop 20 points every night. You cannot evaluate a fit without Josh playing. I'm not upset with the losses, we have tried the other route with no success
I never heard of coaches saying
you Take 5 shots
You take 10 shots
You take 15 shots
You take 20 shots
It's pick n roll
And get open
Then take the shot
Or beat the guy guarding you
Not Matas Buzeilus take 15 shots today
It's your day to shine and show everyone you're developing
😂🤣😂 really lotion with KD. With them ashy ass legs. That man needs some Coco Butter lotion. 🤣
If yall really paying attention them sox spent too much in free agency so the bulls must suffer.
Hey, gotta give it to AK. Instead of sitting players and making it obvious like Utah, they built a team that can't really win if they tried. Well played I guess…lol
I dont get it, so called wanted to tank now its complaining that we're loosing. There's no such thing in loosing and developing at the same time. Basketball is basically the only sport when the athlete can work on his game daily without any concessions from coaches. This fan base is insane
As a Wolves fan, I feel for you Bulls fans. Prior to 3 years ago, we were trash for 2 decades straight. I have no idea what your gm is doing. It doesn't even make sense. Ayo and Giddey are great building block players. Coby White would be an ideal 6th man type player. Tre Jones is an excellent backup pg. Y'all need a rim stopper and a long wing defensive stopper and you'd be in business. But instead you collect more guards? Makes no sense to me
We're Going To Need To Enter The Tommy And Zionlmir Ivisic Sweepstakes
You can’t evaluate truly until Giddey comes back. He’s your franchise player and until you see how he fits with these players these are just bodies to fill out the roster until the offseason
A Mismatch at every position is crazy 😂
Bucks fan here. I just want to thank Chicago for giving us Ousman Dieng at the trade deadline for a backup center. Dieng had 17 pts and hit 5 3 pointers against the Magic. And he will be a restricted free agent so we will be able to retain him. I was shocked we turned some backups into a former lottery pick.
There's no setting any screens or running plays there not going to win ni need to tank at least let them develop
I have ZERO expectations (draft, evaluation, free agency etc) from this front office because the trend shows me that.😴😴😴
Tank is in full effect.
Man, they aren't winning, no games. No Giddey or Tre & Jalen Smith. They are sitting them out to tank….can't believe AK has put this team as the joke of the NBA!
Its starts at the top ..sell the team
Firing ak
This should be the roster…Giddey, Tre, Jalen, Issac, Matas,Simmons, Yuki, Yabu, Richards… Figure out the rest🤷🏾♂️
LOOSE LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOSE!!!!!!!!! LOOSE PLEASE LOOSE GET A TOP 4 PICK LOOSE LOOSE LOOSE DONT WN ANOTHER GAME PLEASE LOOSE FOLLOW DA BEARS LOOOSE LOOSE SECURE DRAFT POSITION PLEASE LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its gonna look bad as half the team is new with no off season prep!
There really isn’t much of a real solution outside of Jerry dying or selling the team.
Wait until AK screws up this draft because you guys in the media aren’t calling for his firing loudly enough
I hope we lose every game the rest of the year
Will played well too
