It's been bothering him for a few games now. You can see him shaking it often. I can't remember if it's his shooting hand but if so it might explain his recent poor shooting. I don't think it's serious but it's obviously not getting better trying to play through it.

We’re also gonna need TBJ to step up and play well. But I wouldn’t put him on Sabonis. Rather have Lonzo at PF than TBJ.

I've been meaning to post this for a while ... but I am loving TBJ!!! The kids is talented, has cut his teeth and earned a place in NBA before coming here, but clearly needs to earn more. And he had just a fewest of chances before it became clear who the rotation guys were ahead of him. As a result, he's not going to see the floor much sans injuries.

A good team needs those guys though that have some talent and can ride the bench until called upon for some minutes.

TBJ is the face I see on the bench just about every highlight or big play. He's into the game 100% it seems like all the time. He's cheering on his teammates. He's invested. It is one of my low key favorite things about the season, seeing a guy (who does have talent) on the bench still putting his energy into the game from the bench like that.

It gives me this gut feeling that he's putting in massive work in practice and workouts. He's taking the season seriously no matter what his personal role is on court come game time. That stuff matters a lot; practices matter a lot and the depth with got with him and Alize (as well as Matt Thomas+Tyler Cook it seems) makes those practices much much more productive I'm sure.

Hope he sees some minutes tonight and does some good things in limited action. In fact, hope he gets a lil time tonight, and carries over into some burn more against Houston and Orlando. Are we a team that gets to play are depth in regular season against bottom league teams?? That'd be dope.

Coby's time to shine.

Lunatic's keys to the game

- shoot at least 58% from distance
- lockdown Turner and Sabonis and Brogdon
- win the rebounding battle

If the Bulls do all this, they should have reasonable chance to win the game

Could be. He better wear his defense pants.

This will tell us where Ayo and White are relative to each other in the rotation.

The spread has shrunk considerably since this morning. It was CHI -4.5 to start and CHI -1.5 now... and we have home court advantage!

Back to back and playing shorthanded obviously have a lot to do with it, but I expect shenanigans from the zebras again tonight with the Vegas prediction being this close.

Why do EVERY team's fans feel that there is a conspiracy against their team by the NBA and the officials? I mean what do the NBA and officials have to gain by conspiring against the Bulls?

I’m watching the pregame and Kendall and Will were making me sick with their defense of Lebron and putting everything on Stewart. Thanks to Stacy who told it straight once they kicked it to him.

Coby leapfrogging Ayo into the starting lineup is interesting.

Sorta, but White is a three year vet who has started and Ayo has been a second round pick in his first year.
