This is 100% a 20pt loss if Vooch is playing. We dont match up well with the Rockets regardless.

I'm expecting an entertaining game and like these peeks at young, up and coming teams we don't see often like Houston and OKC.

You would expect the Bulls to come down to earth tonight and lose big time except for the fact that all of the Bulls players that will play meaningful minutes, (Vooch and Pat excepted), are basically playing for their NBA lives. Those player's survival instincts are a far more powerful motivation than improving draft position on a team they probably won't be playing for. If tanking were the goal, the Bulls would be far better off with a linuep of Lavine, Vuc and Pat. That team would get waxed every game this part of the season. They got their bag. They'd happily get their numbers and check out early.

Vuc's minute count is basically the tank dial

I wish Giddey was playing, but I feel like he should sit a few more games. No point in risking more damage.

They said the end of the West Coast road trip, so after 6 games. Probably at home vs the Lakers.

HOU might be the closest to AK's "8 or 9 good guys" philosophy...#3 seed in the WC and I don't think they have a single player close to being an all-star or any kind of award winner?

Sengun was an all-star this season although I think he didn't deserve it.

Amen could make an all-defense appearance and I'd bet on him making an all-star appearance in 2-3 years.

Would love to play the good teams with elite athletes and defense with Giddey and Zo to see how we compete with this team.

Lots of high picks on that team and AK doesn’t value high picks.

Bulls going to win their 5th in a row, that 8th seed will be theirs!

Gotta get that first round sweep and 15th/16th spot in the draft secured!

The Rockets literally went all out tank for 4 years

I think it's still possible to get the 7 seed and face the Celtics, who I'm not very afraid of.

I like Tre Jones better than Van Fleet, Huerter better than Dillon Brooks, Coby better than Jalen Green. Not sure about Jabari vs. Buzelis. Eason is definitely better than Pat. We have no equivalent to Amen Thompson. Sengun I think is too small to start at center on a contender.

Win or lose we just look like a more competent team at the moment.
