This would be a good game to give minutes to our bench players and resting the starters. But sadly they all are G LEAGUE players. Even Gordon most of the time.

Back before we had a true big 3...

Would that team have been able to beat our current team?

Unfortunately no.

Bol (foot) will not play in Monday's game against Chicago, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

This will be the fifth game in a row that Bol will be sidelined for. Whether or not he'll be able to play Wednesday against the Mavericks remains to be seen.

We are keeping Bol Bol out until after the all-star break guys.

Unless something has changed, both Gordon and Allen are likely GTD/out. Hopefully for actual reason and not because they're being held out for a pending trade. I'd be more fine with Gordon going than Allen.

EDIT: Looks like it's Gordon and Bol.

Oh damn, I didn't realise the trade deadline is only like 2 weeks away. January always goes by real quick

Hopefully the self proclaimed GOAT, KD, can keep up his recent level of play.

Yeah. I was watching the NBA show on ESPN during lunch and was surprised it was that close. This month has blown by already.

Looked like an outlet pass for a teammate he expected to be there but wasn't.

Embiid got 63, so I'm going to tune into that game.

i am watching the bulls stream.
i never wanted to punch a guy so much as the bulls color guy
since Heinsohn passed away he took the crown for most annoying homer in the whole league

So much for that whole "bust their ass" boast from Popovich, eh?

He needs 69 to beat Chamberlain's franchise record.

But yeah... Embiid when he hears some chatter, he uses that as motivation I feel.

Colby White has significantly improved his game from last season. Hitting 3's at a good rate.

Getting out hustled once again by a scrappy team. Lazy defense leading to a 12 point lead for CHI. I know it's early, but why does it take so long for us to put anything together? What ever happened to making a statement and going hard from the opening tip to the final buzzer?
