Giddey isn't as quick as maybe I was expecting, but he's stronger than expected. Not going to jump to much in one game. I still think this team will be somewhat entertaining to watch offensively - but I know they will be awful defensively. In general though, I was pretty supportive of most of the moves the front office made.  The real goal now is hopefully Zach and Lonzo and others play well and it drives up trade value to really hit a reset.

If Lavine can put up performances like last night he'll definitely get to play for some other playoff team this year.

Bulls are a unique experience - Billy Donovan is designing an offense that is going to set all kinds of records for 3s jacked up.

Zero defense but they can score on most nights…

Haven't watched a game yet for the obvious reason but I'm still holding my breath there. They've had years before where the ball movement starts crisp before devolving. They have stuck with it from what I"ve read though, in the face of poor shot making, which has been some of the reason they've gotten out of it in past.

Legitimately amazed Ball is playing. Thought he was toast when he said he couldn't walk up stairs without pain 1.5 years in.

I'll give him credit. He completely redesigned the offense and it's being tailor made to the personnel. This team is still not very good, but at least they are more entertaining than previously thought.

😁He prolly didn't pick it out by himself, but nobody knows booze like Jerry.  Catch him in a lounge at the right time and nobody goes thirsty.  He himself could drink a whale under the table, they tell me. Got so many points on his frequent flyer card at Binny's that he didn't have to pay for it anyway.   This is the Internet so it has to be true.

I thought Joakim was more of a weed guy.

Was at the game tonight and it honestly feels like this Bulls could be a fun team to watch - if they had just let Pat walk.

It's frustrating, because in-person I can see the flashes and I go "oh, I get it now." But then he can't make shots and doesn't hustle for boards like he needs to.

If Pat were to get hurt and Jalen Smith became the starting PF with Sanogo getting the backup big minutes, they might give you what you're missing with Pat based on sheer motor. It's almost painful to watch.

If the Bulls hang around .500 and around "would be in the play in tournament" again, what are the odds that they stand pat at the deadline?

lol so who is injured 

I think him spending most time in d league makes total sense….my auto correct removes d from league. He needs those reps - we completely agree and I’m sure he will bounce around a lot between two teams.
