Confirms what I see when watching other teams. The amount of open catch and shoot 3’s other teams take vs us is crazy. We don’t generate great 3 point looks. And when we do, very few can make them. The terrible off the dribble 3pt% isn’t shocking considering our roster.

Dell is BACK.

Trade him while he's still hot. lol

I think we should. Trade Fultz, Harris, WCJ, and Isaac. Be done with the injury prone players.

Fultz will NOT play tonight's second half of a back-to-back as part of his knee injury maintenance. Gary remains out. Everyone else is good to go.

Black better start.

Truth. Hard to anticipate Mosley, especially with Houstan taking AB's spot in the rotation last night. I think there are decent odds between Black, Houstan, and Okeke, which is just crazy.

It's Black or we find the guy who created the "fire Brian Hill" website....

MOAR BLACK!

Houstan and Okeke choked hard as starters. I was hoping for so much better. The universe called and they were not it...

Jonathan Isaac also out with hamstring maintenance.

Truth. You'd be hard-pressed to find such a player in NBA history. Dare I say, we will never see a player such as Markelle, ever again. We've been blessed that our FO has an eye for such a talent and is wise enough to maximize his talents building around him. His oncourt performances lately have left any knowledgeable basketball analyst in a state of utter and complete awe.

There are people and fans, many and many of them, watching Magic games only to marvel Markelle's unique game. I could go on and on, about how destroys opponent rims and transforms others around him in a supreme versions of themselves, but it wouldn't give justice to what we are seeing.

Lol. Bro retweeted his post from last season to double down on his point. How are you gonna build around someone who can’t stay on the court?

Fultz is either gone at the deadline or gone at the end of the season. Book it.

Collin Sexton is starting to come around. He could pay off massively as a bet for stardom, or he could just be a more efficient version of the me-first player he was coming into the league. Prob somewhere in the middle, but at minimum a good scoring guard.

He only destroys rims when his jumper clangs off them...actually, he completely missed the rim a couple of times last night - I mean, assist to WCJ, oops

Alas, true appreciation of Markelle's actions on basketball court is not for a simple mortals, for they could easily misinterpret a work of art for a mere real thing. It takes a connoisseur of meticulous understanding, a wizard capable of seeing through veil of deception Markelle weaves around opponents, to reveal the intent behind an action. Without that, we are all but an NBA statisticians, forever doomed to feel but not see.

Wendell restoring any kind of value he had was a given. He isn't a bad player. He is just oft injured.

No doubt an injury prone player even back to his Chicago days......When we first traded for him I had bulls fans telling me get ready to see Dell's entire suit collection because he's not playing.... Now he's turned out better than I could've imagined however.... He's still injury prone

For real though - has Cole had a good game since the haircut?

Bulls will catch us within the next 2 weeks. If Bulls hold onto their 17 point lead, they'll only be 1.5 games behind us...
