Lauri should be back, nevermind the injury report I included in the GT tweet. Looking forward to a fun game to take everyone´s mind of the events of the week. Let´s induge in our Bulls and the improvements they are making. I don´t see anyone on their squad other than SGA who can create and cause problems.

Short GT this time. More info later.

GO BULLS!!

Lineups:



Stats thru 11 games:

Crazy that OKC is 5-6, with quality wins over Orlando (6-5), the Knicks (Thibs playing Barrett 44m), and the Nets (with KD).

Lauri should come off the bench. We have plenty of offense in the starting lineup as is. We need Thad to help stabilize the defense. Lauri would be great as a bumslayer on the 2nd unit. Close the game with whoever is playing best.

Yeah, I mean... whenever you're 4-7, there's a point where you do whatever you can to keep it going.

But seriously. One of the main goals of this season for the Bulls is finding out what they really have in Lauri. Benching him AFTER FOUR GAMES for a totally random reason like getting kicked in the leg by his teammate and then quarantined would be insane.

If the Bulls eventually decide to pay him, he won't be paid for bumslaying, that much is clear.

Are you crazy? The Bulls went 4 - 0 out west without Lauri, oh wait... Yeah man, this narrative that we don't need Lauri is strange, they needed super nova Zach to show up multiple times to have a chance in those last two losses.

Really hoping for a win tonight. We hung tough against superior teams, I don't want to see one closer to our talent level beat us.

WOOHOO! Seems like 10 years since our last game.

Man. I can't believe how poor my sense of days has become the last 9 months (I don't have a 9-to-5). I literally thought it was Friday all day until I got home now and read you guys' quotes. Hah!

Tomorrow works, if the game is depressing I can turn it off and see if that WandaVision show debuting is as nuts as the trailers look.

Hope everyone but Sato is ready to go tomorrow. Give Porter maybe 15 minutes just to provide a little depth.

Does Hutchinson have COVID?

I would not call a gimpy Porter who may or not play(or be effective) and an extremely inconsistent Coby enough offense. Lauri was arguably our best offensive player before he went out. He and Zach need to be focal points on offense with White as the other option depending how he is shooting that night. I have seen enough offense running through Wendell Carter...

You win some, you lose some. Temple is likely out.

Hutch has (or had) covid, yes. He's the reason for all these guys being in the protocols - and of course Sato getting infected as well.

Chandler is not returning yet anyway. They're running tests on him.

Read on Twitter

Uh oh, sounds like Dotson and KornDawg either have COVID or were in close proximity to someone who was. Literally the day Lauri and Archi return from quarantine we lose 2 more. I know they're not contributors, but it hurts our depth and poses the risk of a team wide outbreak.

Oh. Is the season restarting?

I keep waking up at night and thinking, "Oh s**t, we're on a roll!! 4-7! I still can't believe it... how did we get this good, this fast??"

You complain about the controversy around Lauri, then properly try to restart it.

I think one person said the Bulls are better without Lauri, yet here we are.
