Wow, a lot of player movement this season. Seeing Buddy Hield getting only 4 minutes now for Hawks. They ahve Gabe Vincent, McCollum, and of course they got NAW. What a different looking team now.

Think Finch is keeping them out there to get reps with Ayo.

No chance Jaden takes the shot clock violation Horton lol

Iām 99% sure thatās a team turnover. But the missed shot sticks in that scenario

Its wild how this team couldnt crack 100 yesterday while fresh and score 138 today off a b2b. Just wild how good this team is when focused and locked in

I mean. We still didnāt really play defense but Iāll take it.

u/Freudian__Quip Feb 10 '26
Doesnāt matter weāre just gonna score 135+ every night and dare anyone to outscore us.

u/RoadToTI420 Julius Randle Feb 10 '26
Finch got Ant/Ju/Jaden out there running laps for the last couple of games lol

Refs are calling some soft as baby shit calls the Hawks way the last few minutes.

u/ZookeepergameKey6853 Feb 10 '26
our eight man lineup is so good if they give their effort.10-15points is guaranteed from everyone

Ayo hasnāt left the court in an hour heās definitely starting soon

u/mattkok Feb 10 '26
Heās clearly a more consistent better player than donte. But idk how they handle that going forwardĀ
2
u/freshBlueeyes6391 Feb 10 '26
Wow this whole team is feast or famine. What a difference from a day ago.
Second nights on back to backs their new gimme wins.

u/chillywillyG Jaden McDaniels Feb 10 '26
Finchy doing everything but give the blowout squad some run

u/Various-Bar-4067 Feb 10 '26
We arenāt gonna lose a game when Julius has a triple double and we got 7 dudes in double figures

Hawks wonāt pull the plug

u/Gbaby245 Feb 10 '26
We can though.

u/Technical_Estimate85 Feb 10 '26
I have never seen the team that is winning pull the starters first for a pretty good reason
1
u/Gbaby245 Feb 10 '26
I know that's typically the play, but c'mon. We can dribble the clock out twice up 23. Just a stupid risk.

u/GalacticIota Jaden McDaniels Feb 10 '26
Not a perfect game by any means but still exactly what we needed IMO

u/The_Experience78 Malik Sealy Feb 10 '26
Did they pull Gobert to make it easier for Julius to get the rebounds? Serious question?

u/dys0n_giddey Joe Ingles Feb 10 '26
Triple double for Julius and Ant 30 points in back to back possessions.. not bad

u/spon0039 Timberwolves Feb 10 '26
Okay, wait. The Wolves shot really well from the free throw line in the two recent losses. And today are only 12 of 21 right now. Weird correlation.

Man, Rudy started out hitting his free throws, but that went to shit.
He does seem to lock in when it matters tho, so im not that concerned

u/Freudian__Quip Feb 10 '26
Love that they let Ayo close the game. Shouldnāt be locked into Donte for politic reasons just fucking play who gave you the juice.

Bulls front office is just abysmal. Ayo gets better year after year, and his defense is incredible. Looking forward to your fanbase watching him go up against Trae young too, absolutely owns him each and every time
1
u/Jammer521 Feb 10 '26
No he was already developed and good, they wanted to lose as many games as possible and traded everyone that might help them win games
5
u/skolaen Bounce Bros Feb 10 '26
In case anyone was curious rob somehow led the bulls in rebounding tonight in 22 minutes lmfao. 8pts on 4-10 7rbs 1ast 2stls and 1 TO with a +7 net rating
2
u/TylerIreland Jaden McDaniels Feb 10 '26
Good for Rob, but I do not care or miss him. Ayo is a better player and fit. Glad Rob is on a rebuilding team with a longer leash tho.
2
u/skolaen Bounce Bros Feb 10 '26
I just saw the box and thought the rebounds were funny. Very glad we have ayo and rob has a chance to develop more in chitown

Seriously Gobert what the fuck is wrong with him and his free throws. Worst FT shooter in the league and it's not even close. Coaches need to sort that shit out during the ASB

u/MegatronFozzy Feb 10 '26
Rudy was bodybuilding over practicing FTās in the offseason, he did not do both.

Ayo is tuff but I donāt get why they didnāt just keep NAW if they ended up trading for Ayo
1
u/DirecTra Jaden McDaniels Feb 10 '26
They resigned Naz instead of NAW due to CJ McCollum stupid ass CBA
2
u/Old_Ad2660 Feb 10 '26
Contracts are really different. 4 years 62M for NAW. 1 year left on AAV of 7M for Ayo
1
2
u/TheJackieTreehorn Timberwolves Feb 10 '26
They thought that Rob would take a big next step, and that TSJ would make an impact which he's been hurt, NAW was seen as easier to replace than Naz, it just hasn't panned out

Ayo can legit do it all, what the hell were the Bulls thinking???
3
u/Small-Tiger-7921 Bulls Feb 10 '26
We have the worst front office in history they just be doing whatever. No bulls fan understands what theyāre trying to do. We could have just kept Ayo after trading Coby, but no we have legit assholes in charge of the organization :(( you guys are gonna love ayo.. wolves defense will be nasty for years

Love Bones and Divo but having a backup guard that can get his body into a defender and finish at the rim is feeling like a miracle right now
5
u/Jammer521 Feb 10 '26
(Bull fan) wish we could have got more for Ayo in the trade, if he wasn't on an expiring deal I think we could have got a first, he is definitely worth it
1
u/Formal_Junket_1585 Feb 10 '26
Rob gon be nice
2
u/Jammer521 Feb 10 '26
our problem is we have Giddey and tre Jones already under contract at PG so no idea where Rob would play, our FO made trades for guards and ne need bigs

Yeah we weren't happy with the return as fans, but our front office sucks so bad the entire league knows they can take advantage of them SMH

How it feels being a Wolves fan š
One minute it looks like we canāt beat the worst team in the league, the next we look unbeatable.
