Cade and who?

Sure hope this isn’t Ivey’s midseason form.

In fairness, Ivey is in the same form he was in midseason last year

Yeah, I was just being a goof. Ivey didn't really deserve the cheap shot... but it was funny to me.

Exactly. It's why I always prefer guys who can play defense.

If he's not making shots, put Ron in.

Missing Beasley already, nobody outside of Cade is a reliable scorer outside of Harris at times

Damn, Stew hurt and Duren in foul trouble.

Sure, but someone has gotta make shots. Who do you trust to make a 10 foot+ jumper on this team besides Cade? Beasley might be sorely missed this year.

The Bulls are being really aggressive and seeking contact. It's kind of a problem for us. We're on our heels, backpeddling or chasing and Vuj just standing out there punishing us for it.

No matter what happens it’s only one game.

True as that is I’m reminding myself of it a little earlier than I’d hoped.

And I’d dismissed Robinson’s preseason performance. But man he looked rough out there, just downright uncomfortable.

I am dreading having to watch Levert & Robinson this season. Can the league please clear Beasley.

rough 1st quarter for us hope stew isnt too banged up.

Post #55 » by **Snakebites** » Thu Oct 23, 2025 12:42 am

Awfully rough quarter of basketball on both ends. No putting a bow on that.

VicVinegar · Post #56 » by **VicVinegar** » Thu Oct 23, 2025 12:43 am

Rough start. Bulls players wide open at the three. Sucks refs are being harsh on the pick and roll screens because that's how this offense generates chances without any shooters.

Lot of game left, game back plenty of times last year. Might need an unsung hero like Holland to provide a spark.

Aging vets slow your team down. Cade has to score more. The team doesn't have a legitimate 2nd scorer and it's showing.

Not the 1st quarter we were expecting.

No where to go but up from here :lol:

MrBigShot · Post #59 » by **MrBigShot** » Thu Oct 23, 2025 12:44 am

Also I maintain that letting Schroeder go was the biggest mistake of the off season. You can't have Cade be the only guy that can create offense.

We saw better quarters out of a 15-win team...but DID have a small handful of highlight reel moments, so I'm pretty sure I can still edit this into something passable for the interwebs.
