What are Billy Donovan's comments about his future with the Bulls?
This hour is brought to you by Menards.
Save big money at Menards. And this ball game is over. Ball game over. Season over. The final from Dallas. Mavericks 149 and the Bulls 128.
Mercifully, the Bulls season has ended. You may go in peace. Thanks be to God. That was Chuck Swirsky. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. And there was a reason to watch the Bulls and Mavericks game last night. It was a fun tribute, by the way, to the former Mavericks of years past. Stacey King's name was on the court over at the American Airlines Center.
How did the Bulls perform against the Mavericks in their final game?
And they were wearing their throwbacks, which I think they should have never stopped wearing. That's another story for another day. But in the meantime, there was also a record watch that was being had. We were trying to see if Nemerd was going to get the assist record. He was too short of tying it. He ended up with 23 assists. The Mavericks scored 149 points and the Bulls had 128. But there were a couple of reasons, Marshall, to actually watch this game if you're into it like we are.
Patrick Williams' watch? Is that one of the reasons?
What was your watch for Patrick Williams? Minutes? Points? What?
A dollar?
What insights does A.J. Pierzynski provide about Noah Schultz's call-up?
He played 36 minutes. He's 5 of 15 from the field. Well, Lachlan Ulbrich is a thing.
Triple-double, baby! Let me just tell you. 10 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists. Chicka-chicka.
Layla, this all feels so very... I'm trying to think of the... Anti-climactic?
Perfunctory?
Keep going. You just keep... I mean, there are several adjectives you could use to describe this NBA season. Not just through a Bulls lens, but through an NBA casual fan lens. You know why? For the first time in league history, eight teams... The Bulls are not one of them, by the way. But eight teams have finished with 55 or more losses.
What challenges do the White Sox face early in the season?
The Mavericks are one of those teams.
Yeah! Take...
And that tells you the state of the NBA to me. The fact that eight different teams had more than 55 losses. That's hard to do. Because eventually those 55 lost teams, they all got to play each other. It's just not good. And the Bulls, as you said, 31-51. And Mack McClung's out here getting run. And Yuki Kawamura's out here getting run. I... Listen.
Isn't that what you're supposed to do, though? Shouldn't those guys?
How does Billy Donovan reflect on the Bulls' season?
They should have been doing that for the last however many weeks.
Adam and Stacey have been calling for Mac McClung for a long time in these games, and they had every reason to do so. And Mac McClung didn't do the dunk contest because he wanted to be an NBA player, and they still didn't have him on the court as much.
Well, he's an NBA player, although be it on the whole deal that he's on with the two-way and everything.
Is it free somebody if they're not in the league? With Bobby Portis, it's free Bobby P. I was literally thinking that.
I was literally thinking maybe we should have printed the free Mac McClung t-shirts.
But it's not free. Essentially, you would have to commit. You would have to commit to Mac McClung.
Oh, no doubt. But I mean, you're freeing Mac McClung.
It doesn't have the same ring. Mac McClung. I see what you did there.
What changes are expected in the Bulls' management structure?
Commit McClung? Is that what y'all were saying?
Well, he just started going to the Max Crosby.
Listen, Colin Sexton, we have enjoyed your time here on the Bulls. We thank you for your service. It's time to move on. These are the, like, watching the game. Leonard Miller. Do you believe that Leonard Miller is a rotation player on a good NBA team, a playoff-bound NBA team?
This is a basketball segment, and every time somebody says the name Leonard, and I know I'm in Chicago, I think you're talking about Leonard Floyd still. Bears.
Oh.
So.
Okay, there's a thing.
So that's where my brain is still, with the name Leonard and sports in the city.
What is the significance of Ozzie Guillen's number retirement?
But yeah, I watched the, uh, the, the, the, the, uh, What's the word I'm looking for? Oh, condensed game of the Bulls and the Mavericks. I did not watch it in real time.
My stupid random self got home at 630 yesterday from the flight. And I was like, I'm going to watch this Mavs and Bulls game. What? Why? Why? Why?
Yeah, I didn't do that.
