Pat Bev legendary playoff streak has ended… my heart aches.
Play-in*
This is the first time in Beverley's career that his team didn't make the playoffs when he's healthy
Pat Bev's spoon spirit still lingers in the Lakers locker room so he's technically in the playoffs
Clippers sign mystery player Batrick Peverly.
Pat Bev has never missed the playoffs in his career.Until this game though
That’s bananas! Good for you Pat Bev
Play-in Pat
If the Wolves win tonight he needs to pull up and recreate last year’s celebration
But the next 5 years are his !!
I hate him so much
I was live in attendance at the Super Dome when the Undertaker had his wrestlemania streak broken against Brock Lesnar
You could hear a pin drop and doesnt compare to this 😢
zach lavine disasterclass
His decision making in the 4th quarter was shite, he sucked all the life out of the Bulls offense
He’s a really bad facilitator, no playmaking ability at all. If the jumper isn’t falling then Lavine has literally no other way to be helpful on the floor
this is like blatantly false lol. he’s a good passer, he just has no handle.
The thing is he keeps chucking when he should pass and that counts against his playmaking
So many bulls fans were pushing the narrative that he’s as good as booker. At least they’ll be quiet about that now
saying lavine is as good as booker isn’t as dumb as heat fans thinking herro is a positive asset on that contract btw
I bit my tongue on Wednesday. And honestly I like Zach a lot and think he’s a great player, but not at the same tier as Book.
Vuc was nonexistent.
I don't understand how the decision was made to run the offense through him while DeMar was carrying through 3 quarters. Also, Vucevic giving you nothing on both ends while Drummond was good on offense and was switching well on D.
I don’t think there was a decision. Billy Donovan is our coach. He kinda just lets things happen.
Yet... they extend his ass. Toss next season away too.
DeMar may have just gotten tired too. Miami still has a great defense and playing 40 minutes can wear out anyone.
Carried by DeRosan's daughter last game smh.
Nah he had a great game last game, shame it’s not regular anymore
Our offense gets real depressing when one of Zach or Demar aren't having a good game
Coby White was on fire hitting 3’s, and DeRozan was hitting some tough shots. Why did LaVine make 3 solo plays at the end when he was having a stinker?
My man just loves to shoot, it's one of his greatest flaws, when he's having a shitty game he always tries to shoot himself out of it, occasionally like last game he'll do it and have a 30 point half, other times you get games like this
I’ll forgive him since he did carry us to a win in the first place against the Raptors
made 6/21 look easy
MJs son was too much for him
Jimmy Butler Masterclass
Yeah but it’s whatever bc he’s the only reason we’re even here. Getting close to the playoffs is an achievement for this trash ass team. He carried hard since ASB
Zach LaVine giveth and Zach LaVine taketh
Zach giveth and Zach taketh
Major changes should happen this off season for the bulls
Yeah give diar the supermax
She ducked Jimmy Butler though.
Top priority
She’s untested in the playoffs. I see her doing well next year, and hopefully will remain injury free. We’ll see how that goes, but she’s a good prospect
other teams may offer more in free agency tho
Good thing we made a win now trade for Vucevic.
Fire Karnisovas
Everyone neglects to mention they were 1st in the East when lonzo went down last year. I’m not saying they’d be that if lonzo was back, but the moves worked last year and made the team watchable for the first time in almost a decade
They were first while being still terrible against top teams. Even with everyone healthy last year they would’ve been knocked out in the 2nd round
Which is still better than what happened this year and the last time before last year was 2017 with Jimmy B.
I agree the personnel needs change but missing Lonzo did hurt the team same as the Pels missing Zion.
Edit: Last time we made the playoffs was in 2017 with Jimmy B. Sorry been drinking.

thank you 🙏 😊
Trade Lavine
Trade Lavine for a couple of role players + Diar DeRozan.
Best defense of all time?
Raptors 🤝 Bulls
Same for us

I dunno, this seems more mushroomy to me.
Where's this coming from?
Lavine was absolutely fucking abysmal. Wow.
more turnovers than made threes, rebounds, assists, steals, and fouls 💀
Lenemic shooter
You were right there dude lol. Lavine and Anemic both have A’s not E’s. LaNemic.
LeNemic*
Oh nvm, thought this was a LeBron joke..
Hold on, what does lenemic mean?
bad offensively
got cooked all night
Billy was horrible late. Took out the only shooter (Coby) we had when we needed to make shots
Yeah, he had a shitty night. Expected more in the second half.
Lavine was awful.
His decision making was all over the place, terrible game
Specially on defense he was getting lost all the fucking time.... i was screaming Zach on my screen cause Struss was simply cutting but Zach was to busy ball watching , Derozan should have brought his daughter and kept Zack home
2nd most disappointing team in the league :(
We here man, don't worry 😎
We'll take it from here man
No we insist, we lost to a 9 year old.
Nah we got it
As a Luka fan I nominated « The DallASS Mavericks »
Hey we have no promising young prospects and about to max Kuz. WE got it
Get in line pal
We did well to even get the 10th seed at the end of the season. Truth is we’re not a playoff team
We’re gonna look very different next season hopefully
I think the front office has been pretty clear that they're not really swinging for the fences
If we run the same team back next year I’m not watching I’m so serious
Can we eliminate Billy Donovan too?
This is the most important part
Coaching Florida has let him slide for too long.
Should've kept Drummond in imo
Comment removed by moderator
Drummond was rebounding so well the announcers described him as "without a doubt the best rebounder in the NBA over the last decade".
That's been like half the season
Bucks fans with a sigh of relief not having to face Bulls X-Factor Diar
she might've saved the Bulls if it wasn't for school
We all knew Bulls were doomed when she was announced DNP.
Miami got saved by the bell
I wanted the first round where the team didn't have to travel, I'm a little disappointed.
I wanted to hear Diar scream 30 times a game at Giannis
She was the difference maker. Heat got lucky.
Hawks killed the Heat on the Offensive glass.. Drummond was killin on the offensive glass and was turning the momentum on the glass!! Then Donovan subs him off for Vooch who was a passenger
biggest offensive possession of the season, Coby White is nailing big 3s, and Billy Donovan benches him for Pat Bev who has missed all his shots.
Please please please let a different team sign him to an offer sheet the Bulls are too cheap to match.
I knew we lost as soon as I realized Billy fucking benched him
Playoff Jimmy is different
Thank God. Now we can give up on this aging core AND we get a 1% chance at Wemby
give us back caruso u guys don't need him
Felt bad for him when he got baited into that last foul…
God, that ‘foul’ was garbage. That shit no contact only gets called at the arc.
Yeah that was pretty ridiculous honestly. Like 3 or 4 calls this game were pretty bad in favor of the heat. Nothing game-ruin egregious, but some bad ones
Your team's fault for not valuing him and now you gotta live with it
You’re right the lakers brass folded big time
Bulls should def send him to a contender if they blow it up.
Bulls 🤝 Pelicans
Having a fantastic game until the last minute
I’m a salty bulls fan but no way Caruso fouled strus there at the end
I saw someone compare Dak Prescott to Demar Derozan.
You know what? It's an apt comparison.
As a Cowboys fan and a Bulls fan, ouch.
What a choke job by Zach lol
Patrick “I’m gonna knock the Lakers out of the playoffs” Beverly
The next 0 playins are his
Was still rooting for him.. and Caruso ://
hehehe
Pat “Forever Cancún” Bev
Hell of an offseason coming. Feels very close to a tear down
Jimmy just took over in the end but come on bruh you gotta keep Coby White and Drummond in when they're playing that well
That Vucevic brother stinks
that trade is looking like such a disaster in hindsight
Wendell carter is arguably straight up a better player and much cheaper and younger, Franz Wagner is a borderline all star in his second season, and now they’re giving Orlando another lottery pick this year. Horrendous trade. As a magic fan I’m happy tho.
To be fair WCJ was a total loser when he played in Chicago.
So are all good players sadly
He really doesn't add enough on offence when he just takes iso plays from DeMar and Zach
He was good tonight and then the Bulls just stopped going to him
What's next for the Bulls?
Giving the magic their pick
Continued mediocrity
Probably coach firing.
Zach used up all his juice on Wednesday
They’re definitely one of the teams in the NBA
Idk how you bring back Billy Donovan
Vuc didn’t do much this game, he put him in with 9 minutes in the fourth instead of keeping Drummond in who was playing great
Coby white hit two huge threes in the fourth and you take him out when nobody else can score? Cmon
Here comes a looooooooooong offseason
If the Bulls still had Lonzo they would be so much better. Defensively, and his ability to shoot the 3 and initiate the offense would be huge
They need Lonzo as PG,
Why in the fuck was coby white taken out lol
Billy is not an elite coach
Can akme finally admit this team needs to actually have changes
Former Bulls Strus and Butler Revenge Game
LaVine going 6/21(0/6 from 3) with 5 turnovers in an elimination game is gonna stick in a lot of people's memories for awhile. How do you go from dropping 39 on the Raptors to this?
I think the Bulls missing the playoffs shows how much the talent level of the league has increased over the last 10-20 years. A roster with guys as good as Derozan, Lavine, Vuc, and Caruso is like your prototypical 5-6 seed back in the day.
THANK YOU CHICAGO ALSO THE MAGIC WILL TAKE VUC OFF YOUR HANDS
Awww man, just realized Patbev is no longer a play in champ 😔
They did a great job tbh, not just tonight, but the entire season. I feel they were a much better team than their record indicated.
Good game, Bulls fans! Hope you improve over the summer and make the playoffs next year
Play-in Pat faded
zach and vooch were disastrous
coby was nice
Lavine you can't be that bad in a win or go home game.
Zach was playing 4D chess. We getting the number 1 pick.
Comment deleted by user
Get a 12/10 double double I guess but beyond that uh not much else
He rebounds pretty good sometimes and makes the Orlando Magic better
Relieved to not watch anymore Bulls basketball this season.
The organization doesn't have the balls to admit this team is going nowhere and blow it up so I'll see you guys next year.
Thank you Max Strus!
Also can't believe I was rooting for the Heat, feels weird ngl
The Stacy king bang bang will be silent till next year — woulda been crazy on the Colby threes
When you choke that hard in the final 3 minutes you deserve to be faded
I for one am excited for ESPN analyst Pat Bev hater tour to start.
DEMAR YOU, ARE GOING TO WEMBYLAND
At this point, I just hope for some miracle to happen for Lonzo’s leg to get better.
I’d even sacrifice my own leg for it…
Without Diar they had no chance. 😂
Shouldn't have benched Diar
Patrick Beverly was walking into the locker room. Jimmy Buckets runs right by him. “I knew they were fucking trash”.
Not sure how Vuc has Bam on him but takes 9 shots
both teams are really bad but wow lavine threw this game away
Comment removed by moderator
I don’t understand…isn’t he supposed to be a master of the play-in…
Even Achilles had a weakness.
Pat Bev turned down the Warriors
Well he’s trying to get another contract and being on the Warriors as a end of bench guy isn’t really going to accomplish that
Double techs every night
Pick 11/12 to Orlando alongside already receiving 24 year old WCJ and 21 year old Franz Wagner for the now UFA, 32 year old Vucevic 😍
Good.
faded 😔
I coulda watched two, four, or even six more of those tbh
Easy Pickings
Brutal last few minutes for the bulls! Sheeeeshhh
Choked in the last 3 minutes
FADED
Miami had 30+ FTA, twice as many as Chicago..
gotta feel for bulls fans. they tanked their future for freakin vooch and also killed lonzo's career.
Straight up not having a good time rn
We might as well take DeMar back at this point😅
1,2,3 Cancun
THANK YOU FOR PICK #17 MIAMI
The trade for Vucevic didn't yield a desired playoff result...
I mean at least this means they'll make some changes
Fuck Billy Donovan and fuck AKME
After the game Levine had against Toronto he was absolutely a zero factor in this one. Chicago gave it up in the 4th.
They didn't bring Diar the Demon
That was a dog fight. Good game Bulls fans. It’s been a rough, frustrating season for us too, but I’m happy to see the Heat continue on!
I bet Diar is crying
TERRIBLE coaching by Donavon down the stretch. Taking out Coby White while he was hot and closing with Vuc over Drummond when they were clearly involving him in every pick and roll was a joke. From up 3 with 3 minutes left to losing by several.b
FUCK.
The amount of people that think we should trade Zach and keep Demar baffles me lmao. I love Demar and the Bulls but every time they switch a screen, which is every time basically, he instantly gets lost on defense. I feel like it's why any guard who can only bring a 3 ball can somehow consistently get open (I mean WIDE open) looks from 3. Like how does Strus go off for that many that early and is that open on almost all those opening shots? Our defense and offense are so bland. It's on the players and coaches but I don't know what percentage I'd give each. How many times do we have to do a high double screen on the offball with Vuc just for Zach and Dem to iso ball? How many times do I have to watch a guy go to the corner when we are on D and slowly watch everyone on the defense switch on pick and rolls to eventually same guy who hasnt moved, is wide open for a bucket. I just think its time to trade Demar while the stock is still high hopefully, and get our young guys minutes, shots, chemistry, confidence.
Should've just brought Diar 🤣
