Here's a look at how the #Bulls could build a positive plan for the offseason. www.dailyherald.com/20260411/chi...
Buzelis and Giddey strongly agreed with Michael Reinsdorf's plan of keeping Donovan as #Bulls head coach. www.dailyherald.com/20260411/chi...
The #Magic did exactly what they needed to do tonight. They took care of a really bad #Bulls team. Wasn't pretty in the first half. But a lcoked-in effort in the third quarter put this one away. #Magic win 127-103.
The #Magic built their lead to as much as 25 points. Let go of the rope a little bit to end the quarter. But the #Magic are in complete control of this one heading to the fourth. They lead the #Bulls 99-79.
Jalen Suggs is heating up. He has four threes in the quarter. #Magic have really expanded the lead now. 12 for 24 from three overall and 53.4% overall. #Magic just slowly squezing he life out of the #Bulls.
87-63 ORL, 5:25 3rd
Iced Cuppy has won the final Dunkin' Donuts race of the #Bulls' season. Shocking upset.
Important for the #Magic to get the #Bulls to call the first timeout in the second half. They get that done thanks to a pair of threes from Jalen Suggs. Still too many missed free throws and little mistakes. Their defense is doing work to challenge at the rim.
73-59 ORL, 8:57 3d
The #Magic made a decent push to end the second quarter but then gave up back-to-back dunks to Olbrich and Buzelis. A Carter dunk ends the quarter for the #Magic.
#Magic have overcome some sloppiness, but not a runaway game at all.
#Magic lead the #Bulls 64-53 at the half.
The #Magic have gotten the lead out to 10. This game has felt like every time they are about to break it open, the #Bulls hit a big shot and then the #Magic make some mistake that keeps the door open. Feels like a big run is coming for someone though.
49-40 ORL, 5:13 2nd
Franz Wagner is at 11 minutes. This second stint has been a little longer. It looked like he called to come out. Looks a little gassed and slow getting back on defense. #Magic looked like they were about to make a push to grow the lead. #Bulls have answered.
37-34 ORL, 8:26 2d
That was a sloppy first quarter in all respects. The #Magic felt like they were experimenting with things rather than playing. Lost their focus early and had nine turnovers. #Bulls had six and went 4 for 10 from the line.
Maigc lead the Bulls 28-26 after one quarter.
The #Magic missing some good looks. #Bulls with two backcourt steals. Missed the first attempt. Got the second one. Been an odd game. #Magic are struggling to track down rebounds and find their range.
16-16, 4:05 1st
The #Magic started off with some really good energy. Ever since Paolo was called for a charge on a drop-off pass to Carter, the team has been settling a bit on offense. #Bulls are running off misses.
13-12 CHI, 7:11 1st
One final road trip before the postseason! The #Magic take on the #Bulls with the team’s postseason fate still in the air:
Here's a prominent name being discussed as a possible next #Bulls GM.
Also it's a FFF that features our unofficial @312sportschi.bsky.social chaplain on the #WhiteSox pope hats, and my list of the top ten #Pirates.

After the Bulls shut down Josh Giddey and Buzelis early, Tre Jones has scored 29, 20, and 31 points in his last three games, along with 18 assists and 4 turnovers, clearly becoming the team's offensive focal point.

Let's use this year for example: If the play-in AND first-round losers get the same lottery odds, I could have definitely seen the #Bucks and #Bulls NOT pulling the plug.
Would that have markedly changed East seeds 5-10? Maybe?
But the Pels, Grizz, KANGZ did NOT start the year out to tank.
The #Bulls may already have screwed this up. Michael Reinsdorf's emails now may indicate the decision was ready-fire-aim.
And #WhiteSox-logo Pope miters? When is it just too much?

#Bulls should keep the executive search process simple...

Michael Reinsdorf just promoted Billy Donovan to the top of the #Bulls organizational chart, whether he meant to or not.
