"Bulls owned the nets for some reason"
"How about a win against like, Orlando and Houston now."
"Disjointed on offense and defense tonight. Some bad calls didn't help either. Still a good fight. We're looking good. Just wasn't our night."
"Mitch still owns the bulls"
"Royce all wide open threes come on man. Yuta should start"
"Bulls owned the nets for some reason"
"this team is so confusing but i’ll take a W for my mental health any day lol"
"I’m not mad we lost our streak honestly things happen I’m not expecting perfection, but those two missed open 3’s from Royce at the end was unacceptable honestly and Joe Harris is just not playing like a starter. We’re gonna bounce back tho"

The Chicago Bulls are 8-1 against teams such as the Brooklyn Nets, Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat this season. However, the Bulls are having a hard time against lesser teams, which makes it frustrating for their fans.

After ending the Nets' winning streak, the Bulls have the opportunity to build some momentum and possibly climb up the standings. They will take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

Meanwhile, the Nets have a tough stretch in their next three games. They will visit the New Orleans Pelicans and Miami Heat before welcoming the Celtics at home for an intriguing matchup.
