Even our 3rd lineup is a kind of fun to watch.

Alize is like a blackhole consuming rebounds through sheer mass and gravitational pull

I mean, the five guys we have out there at the moment probably shouldn't ever see any meaningful minutes this season, so the fact they're demolishing the Cavs' scrubs just means we have a higher class of scrub than they do. :lol:

Not sure who that is yet. The thing is we dont need like some star PF. Theis would be perfect. Just a guy in certain games that we need against really big athletic teams.

We are built like the Clippers and Celtics from a few years back. We just dont have a Theis or Zubac

Absolutely, not a star, but just a legit big man, who can play either big position to come off the bench. I know we have Marko and Bradley, but I don't see Marko getting much burn his rookie season, and Bradley is are only legit big on the bench. I just think we need to consolidate some of our wings for a veteran big.

Of course, but seeing them come out and absolutely destroy an inferior team is a good (early) sign.

Ok Stanley Johnson!

Alize Johnson already has 11 rebounds in 17 minutes. Insane.

If we apply the "Play whats infront of you" metric vs the "Play down to competition" metric this should hold up and translate to competitiveness and wins vs better teams

This roster has a lot more guys with an NBA skill than we've had in a while.

We have some workers on this roster, the Bulls fans are going to love them.

Again, a big criticism of this roster was our defense, but I think the team is counting on the defense to be there every game, just with how hard they've played on that end from the jump.

Need to see them against a better team to see how their defense translates though. This is just the first game in preseason after a long break, need to temper my expectations some.

I'm cool with beatdowns like this against basement dwellers, they need to be able to put those teams away. Real curious to see what they look like against some level competition. The best part is that the Bulls are no longer a basement dweller. It was a hard few years.

The biggest gained skill for this roster is having actual NBA athletes. We’ve lacked athleticism for so long that we’ve all likely forgotten what it’s like not trotting out a bunch of try hard players.
