Wife permitting, I'll watch the Bulls first because I can't record the stream, rue the fact we drafted the **** Seminole, then watch the Bears until it becomes unbearable.

I see the people are excited for this matchup of eastern conference juggernauts

I was once at a Bulls/Raptors game in Chicago where Jarret Jack (I think it was) stopped mid play to tie his shoes while holding onto the ball and the Bulls just let him. It was wild.

I also keep hearing about RJ Barrett having a breakout season but then I look at his stats and he has a TS% of 54%. He's taking 19 shots a game to average 23 points. Let him.

In a world where Zach is overpaid and untradeable - how does Immanuel Quickly make $32m a year?

Breakout season aka everyone on the Raptors is hurt and Barrett is the only regularly available guy who can create his own shot off the dribble, albeit badly.

Quickley I have no idea, Ujiri has become one of the most massively overrated GMs in the league quite uh... quickly after winning that ring gambling on Kawhi to 1) stay healthy and 2) actually play basketball.

Quickley is also overpaid, but nobody is trying to trade for him, and the Raptors don't want to win games.

Quickly had a huge breakout year last season that was a continuation of a trend line. That’ll get you paid coming off your rookie deal.

Have paid zero attention to Quickly or the Raps this year. Looks like he’s only played 3 games.

No Lavine. Williams and Coby both in the starting line up. This suddenly looks like a loss.

At this point, PWill might as well only work in the post. He hasnt done it a ton in his career but it seems to be an option this year. Him in the post is a lot more effective than him on drives.

Buz is really good on D. He’s got to learn to box out every possession and go get the ball. That’s his biggest weakness on that end.

Ayo and Coby need floaters. Giddy has the right idea but just doesn't have the touch for it. Coby and Ayo do I think. We need to be taking it into the paint more from the perimeter.

Giddey has definitely stepped up his efforts on defense lately.
