Giddey with an improved D is a keeper. He's still kinda lazy defending

Good win. Giddey could do this every night that's his ceiling with hopefully better defense over time .for better or worse he's Definitely a part of the future imo.

It's impressive because he's not a focal point of the offense unlike other triple dub guys. He's like 4th on the team in usage, not 1st.
If you can get those #s from your 4th option, that's a valuable roleplayer that will fit in well with whatever stars you get in the draft.

Unfortunate tank loss. But a great game from Giddey, Aussie represent!!!
It'll be a 3 game tank losing after these next 2 games, AKME gonna be smiling!

Re: Bulls vs Bucks 7pm CT Dec. 28 2024
That's a real quality win.
Giddey was phenomenal. He also made some nice defensive stops on Gary Trent Jr.
Vuc was great as well. He's struggled against Lopez in the past but has played him well over the last 4-5 outings. If Vuc had played like this the last few years, he might be a favorite on this board. I think DDR was actually a poor fit next to him and negatively impacted his play.
Coby was aggressive and hit some timely shots.
Pat didn't have a particularly great game, but he looks like he's in shape again and had that massively huge steal/layup.
Zach didn't have a great scoring game, but contributed with the all-around game.
Lozno - highly productive in 19 mins.
Our bench is weird. You never know who is going to play. One day THT plays 25 off the bench, the next Craig is ahead in the depth chart. Sometimes Philips plays, sometimes he doesn't. It's just odd.

Not surprising that Giddey is playing better, getting more comfortable on his new team.

I like that he's a scrapper going after rebounds and loose balls, I appreciate that extra bit.

Personally I'd like him to get a similar one to Jalen Green (3yr deal).

Good one. I admire sometime optimism Bulls fans have after being abused by daddy Jerry for years.

Re: Bulls vs Bucks 7pm CT Dec. 28 2024
such a different team when our point guards play.
Was nice to see Giddey step right back in to where he left off.
An actual point guard is what this team's been missing for years. Not even just post-Lonzo injury but even before, I strongly believe our lack of a point guard had negative development effects on guys like Zach (who still became an all-star), Coby, Lauri, WCJ, etc.
You can draft all the talent in the world, but if you don't have a player that can run the offense none of it really matters.
Giddey is showing he can be that guy - and he's only 22.
I also love his rebounding. We've been wanting someone besides Vuc to step up on the rebounding side, and well Giddey is also doing that for us now in addition to running the offense
That's enough gushing about Giddey.
I would like to see some consistency in our roations - I know injuries have played a factor in this, but it's also somewhat the lack of direction which I know has been frustrating for all fans.
If we're trying to win Craig should clearly be playing more. If it's all about development Julian Phillips should be playing. Which of them gets minutes seems to change nightly.
Whether winning or developing please stop playing THT, was happyto barely see him tonight. Yes, you could probably say the same thing about Terry.
Can't tell if Vuc likes competing against Brook Lopez or if he hates Brook Lopez. Either way, I as a fan am entertained when they go against each other.
Looking at the schedule - I feel there's a real chance we're above .500 by the time we get to like January 19th.

Re: Bulls vs Bucks 7pm CT Dec. 28 2024
OK I hammered the Bulls on their sports network that was audio only and a a blue screen
Channel 62.2 LIVES. Finally got to watch the Bucks game, and a win at that
Took a 30 game Blue streak but they have finally come through
They played just well enough to win. Giddey was Giddey, Vuc didn't try to do too much, Patrick had 7 1st half points and 2 in the 2nd, that in the past was Vuc's style. I thinkV uc was spot on jawing at the ref after 3 Lillard ticky tack fouls and then Lopez thumped him and nothing. The 33 assists shows they know the formula to win games, they just have to stick with it
