Moved for something different

Don't think what was available for Randle would have been close to KAT.

That's fine

Let's see. KAT and Yabu moving around like they have cinder blocks tied to their feet. Yup, time for that Euro Kid on the Bulls to go for 40 points and have his breakout game.

Dolan got back involved with the Knicks because The Sphere is bleeding money. Every Boomer with spare $ to a see a spectacle show of geriatric rockers playing against the backdrop of what is an essentially a giant ret*rded overblown IMAX theater has already had their bucket list experience so they stopped going.

That caused Dolan to start meddling in the Knicks again.

He insisted they fire Thibs and hire Brown, exactly the wrong hire for the team.

Coming up, the Knicks massively underachieve and have a 41-41 record, getting eliminated in the first round by the 76ers.

Dolan freaks out and fires Leon Rose, the entire front office and Brown and brings back Isiah Thomas to "right the ship"

Brunson and OG are soon traded for Anthony Davis and Brandon Ingrim.

Deep in your heart, you know I'm right.

According to the players they barely even had real practices under thibs and that went on for years

They probably aren’t even accustomed to getting busy in practices and working hard on off days. They all need a wake up call and to understand what we’re trying to do this season

These guys aren’t even playing heavy minutes in game anymore. No excuse to not be getting up and down the floor

There really isn't an excuse. Everyone knew that the team was going to play faster. Karl and Yabu come into camp pudgy and unprepared. I would be livid if I'm Leon Rose.

FWIW the msg broadcasts have said Kat came into camp thinner than last year. Obviously take that with a grain of salt but I just think he’s hurt. I’ll almost guarantee that he’ll miss a week or so whenever Mitch gets back. Yabu is def just fat though.

Noa has not played yet. It would be great if he went for 40.

Read on Twitter

Cause the Captain is made of vibranium.

Speaking of Captain America, and off-topic, what if Rogers bonded with adamantium to his skeleton along with injected super serum? He would be unstoppable, similar to how Hulk can't die if the Earth was completely evaporated to space dust.

He would die of adamantium poisoning unless he had a healing factor.

At what point did I tell you what I think? I gave you facts and I was not disrespectful. I have posted on this board a few times. I have family in New York.

Anyway back to the facts.

Nikola is European. He is close to 40.
Noa Is 18. He is European.

Everyone else on the team is American born and raised. If you can run for President? You are an American. The founding Fathers said that.

feels like a semi-important game to win

Not worried about the Knicks yet. But it'll be nice to get a win in Chicago. Bulls are 4-0 , let's give them their first loss.

JXL · Post #73 » by **JXL** » Fri Oct 31, 2025 1:30 pm

1st NBA Cup game, Bulls are undefeated, Mitch (hopefully) and Deuce coming back.

Bulls lose their 1st game of the season. Let's get it.

Oh, an NBA cup game! Glad I’ll be able to view ret*rded ugly courts while gamblers have more to bet on

What is nasty about?

Was there an personal attack?
Did I lie, deceive, or even insult him?
Plus I want Noa to play against your team. His lack of physical strength will not matter as much. I wish he had got time against Porzingis.

I admit Mitch coming back is the biggest concern because we have one reliable big with Collins out.

Can’t watch as I am being forced to go trick or treating. Hopefully they pivot to a tank and start tearing it down for parts and picks if we drop to an insurmountable 2-3 hole. Was probably the plan to begin with. Can’t tank with Thibs so they had to bring in a fizdale style coach to do the job. Brogdon jumping out of the moving vehicle to retire was the canary in the coal mine along with Mitch refusing to play.
