Damn bro I’m sorry for your loss. Hold your head up I will send a prayer to you and yours.

RJ defense has been super super dope..

some takeways.

- thibs halloween his inner phil jackson..relax, you gotta call a timeout im sorry.
- alec burks... dude I love your skill set but you've been really bad the last few games, like really bad.Gotta get him going
- old man taj was pivotal on the glass.
- hate this end of game toss it to randle and get away from the entire offense that we ran the entire game.. i dont get it
- Mitch is such a difference maker. Defense in quarters 1-3 was outstanding
- D rose is a legend
- they still got the ugly W

If DeRozan had passed to LaVine, I think he would have made the game winning shot and beat us, but DeRozan kept the ball so... :D

I suppose...but then you get into the "what about the playoffs?" debate, so I find it best to just focus on our 4-1 and start, which is impressive in its own right.

BUT THAT BEING SAID

1) they need to figure out how to close quarters and games, because this won’t work at all in April

2) Burks needs to be buried. Grimes should get his minutes

3) Thibs has to see that Randle is not a closer. He needs to identify who is his end of game solution. Julius is not it


Agonizing and demoralizing win.


Burks & Noel might be able to get us something. I think Taj plus some time for Randle at the 5 is plenty to spell Mitch.

Walker might go down as a top 5 acquisition of the entire offseason. Maybe higher.

If RJs defense is legit then he really is the second coming of Jimmy Butler

Very good start to the season.

The Bulls are no match for our team. Amazing that we won this game despite Randle having an extremely poor game tonight and Fournier not being able to hit anything---they shot a combined 7-25 and we still won in Chicago and pretty much lead the entire way.

The Bulls are your typical solid offensive, but overall soft team that will manage to win 40 games, make the 7th/8th seed and then get bounced in the first round effortlessly. I would absolutely love to play them in the first round----I honestly think we would sweep them.

Ehh idk about all that..Randle looked like shades of Hawks series Randle.. especially when Lonzo guarded him late.. he has to be way better than that for us to sweep anybody

PS Not a excuse, but I am still pissed about the refs not giving us the clear path foul like wtf was that!?

Johnnie Bryant got in the lab with RJ on finishes for sure. I did not see them slow dragging feet layups. He just straight took it!


@:40 - takes a pass from Fournier after curling to the top of the key, driving push shot - here's an example of Fournier opening things up by being more versatile than Bullocks
@1:36 - takes a guy off the dribble in the half court, from the 3 point line (pick from Taj)
@1:40 - takes a guy off the dribble, no pick, from the corner 3 spot, for a Ewingesque crossing move into the paint

Making the 3's or the open court layups into Ball and LaVine are nice, but we know he can do that. Those 3 above are RJ evolving.
