Not the championship game, unfortunately. The Knicks vs Blazers is the championship game. They decide who is in the championship game by record and point differential so while the Bulls are 3-1, because of that blowout loss to NY, the team has a negative point differential.

Most NBA teams, including the Bulls, tend to shut down their roster players toward the end of summer league. The 76ers played yesterday, so they are on a back-to-back and have added incentive to shut down their roster guys. I'm guessing the Bulls don't want to be pushing Terry out to play against summer camp guys who are looking for one last chance to impress people. So probably no Terry, Marco, or Hill. Maybe Lewis plays, but I'm guessing it will be just the Bulls summer camp guys playing.

I cherish the long stretches of dead silence between their comments.

Whenever Marko goes up near the basket, even if it goes in, it looks like the weakest sh*t. It just won't fly in the NBA

They need to give the option to have an announcer-less broadcast. Just me the crowd noise and sneaker squeaks, please.

Hill with the nice blow by.

The guy announcer just said the G League is the second-best league in the world...

Wonderboy was a true hater. Sato while nothing special was an okay roleplayer (and better than Coby at PG).

Marko straight up sucks for NBA roster purposes. He's a dead end for development and a waste of a roster spot. That's all I care about.

Fundamental skill wise Marko is pretty good as a basketball player. That's why he can thrive in g league/lower competition. He usually makes the right play. He's just truly physically limited for the NBA level.

How did Marko land a guaranteed 3 year NBA deal?

2weekswithpay · Post #17 » by **2weekswithpay** » Sat Jul 16, 2022 11:39 pm

I don't think Marko has made a single 3.

It normally takes nba bigs about 4-5 years just look at guys like Poeltl and where he was at age 22 and where is now at age 26 .

And it starts Terry hurt. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.

Ok maybe you're not as bad as wonderboy (yet) but you seem to be trending that way, you mentioned him in the Dalen Terry thread without any reference.

Marko has made some strides, nothing ground breaking, but he's added muscle when asked to and I'm sure will continue to add to his game. Will Marko become more than end of bench fodder? Probably not, but he's still young and cheap and I'm interested in seeing if he can grow a little more.

Just for reference, I wanted Marko of the team last year but I'm interested to see if he can do something this year if he gets some burn.
