Giddey has arrived for the bulls too. They might finally have a nice young core to build around.

Whites hooping too

Though, have to be measured cause this is the time of the year that scrubs ball out. Even still they have some nice young pieces.

Yea we gonna have to see if it carries on to next season but they seem like a nice fun team to watch. I think trading away Derozan and lavine has unlocked their youth. I wanna see them draft a big man like Derik Queen

They're a fun team to watch but MAAAAAAN, youre a better nba fan than me. I just can't get past the name on the front of some teams jerseys. I can never root for the bulls even if I fck with the players.

I’m not rooting for them but I don’t hate them. Last time I hated the bulls was when… Thibs was their coach they used to blow us out all the time I hated them

I usually only hate a team if they have annoying af players and they keep beating us. I try to enjoy watching other teams/players in general. I used to be a big Bron hater but I like watching him now even tho he’s on the lakers.

Those bulls teams in the 90s left me with lasting emotional damage. I can never forgive that.

And I use to hate on Bron cause the decision but during the 2nd stint with the cavs made me a fan. And I'm glad because he plays some of the most aesthetically pleasing hoops. And genuinely seems like an all-around decent person.

Yea i was too young for the 90s bulls games so i can't relate but I used to watch old games on youtube and nba tv and from the little i saw it looked like a real war with the bulls and pacers back then. One day i wanna watch a whole playoff series against the punk reggie miller. I hate reggie miller even tho i never experienced those 90s games with him. I just hate him as a commentator and how he tries to act like he owns the knicks even though has a losing record against us.

I came around on bron but it's still MJ and Kobe over bron for me. Gotta have some hate for him :lol:

I also peeped bronny was balling the other day. He gets a lot of hate for being bron's son but I'm rooting for him just because basketball was almost taken away from him with his heart problems

I can't have Kobe over LeBron just for the efficiency.
My caveat on LeBron is that I will never know how he he really is/was because of how much the rules were bent to accommodate him. Lakers pundits say he has a "bad whistle," I was just watching a podcast where Laker fans were complaining about the off-hand push, which is basically the trademark LeBron move and attributing it to Tatum.

I do have Shaq over LeBron though. Jordan, Shaq, Duncan, Bron, Kobe, Durant
Honorable mention to Giannis, Dream, Curry
(only looking at the post Magic/Bird era)

I need to start looking into NBA history, because I feel like Wilt is chronically underrated. Basically if Giannis played an entire career for the Shanghi Ducks.

It will always be fck Reggie Miller for me. That choke sign at the garden was devastating times. 90s teams were fun cause they played hard. The 99 run was my favorite time as a sports fan and I've seen my favorite team win the superbowl. Basketball is just another level of fun. It's why I hold Spree/Houston as my favorite knicks.

I have no ill will towards browny either except maybe some jealousy. Wish I was burn into greatness but I respect that he is grinding and it's letting his father's enormous shadow hindering him from pursuing his dreams. Cause if I was born into that wealth I would be living a lot differently. I'd be enjoying the easy life.

They're not playing for anything other than player development and a lot of what they're doing right now just centers around Castle, Vassell and Sochan right now. Their young players are just better than a lot of the other tanking teams.

Just looked on ESPN. Josh Hart at 9.7 rebs/game is #13 in the league. The only SF close are Tatum and LeBron at #16 and #21. Josh is iistd as a SG. The closest is Gibney at #26. Not bad for a 6'4" guy. :nod:

Knicks have to play .500 ball for 50 W's. I think Indiana is going to hold onto the 4th seed, despite they have the harder schedule. Bucks sputtered at the wrong time. Detroit has the harder schedule, so I think New York vs. Detroit is set in stone.

Most of our guys are really good. This team needs a playoff run to get their feet wet and then next year, they’ll be among the top teams in the NBA. Hart is a bench player in my book though.
