The two key parts are doing what we expect. Giving us like 50 ppg. All the supporting pieces except Theis have **** the bed.
what we expect is not enough. neither lavine nor vucevic is good enough as an all-around player to lead a team. they're both robins, and not necessarily even adequate in that role to legitimately contend for championships
Dude I’m just trying to see a a good team now. Championships are not even a concern. I’ll take a team that wins more games than it loses. We can do that with those two. Not being able to be #1 ok championship is nothing to be ashamed of. Most players including HOF players were not that.
i'm sorry, but life's too short to aspire to watch a slightly above average nba basketball team on anything approaching a regular basis. unless it's a rising team with a strong chance of taking it to the next level. if my heart's not gonna get racing now and again, what's the point?
'14-'15 was the last bulls team worth committing to. 50 win team, derrick's failed "comeback" season (there's that "strong chance of taking it to the next level" thing), put a scare into lebron's cavs in the playoffs...and a likable try hard bunch to boot
it's amazing how much more rewarding it is watching say, a 54 win team as opposed to a 44 win team. whereas the difference between 44 and 34? not that much! probably because playoff basketball is much higher quality
