I feel like we NEED to win these next two games against the Bulls. Considering that they’re currently winless I’d imagine this won’t be easy but it’ll go a long way to me on how much I should take us seriously competing atop the East this year.

The Bulls got capable scorers in Zach Lavine, Bobby Portis, Jabari Parker, and Kris Dunn tends to get up for Kemba.

We're probably going to drop one of these two games due to LaVine/Parker going ****. It is the Charlotte way. We should win both substantially, but when you live by the three, sometimes you die by the three.

Jabari just had 20pts in 20 minutes in the Bulls last game and is averaging 16ppg. I wish we had him instead of Marv at starting PF. He’d be our 2nd best scorer.

Gotta win this one to get back on track. Getting blasted by Toronto should be an eye-opener, we can't just expect to keep coming back from big deficits like the MIL/MIA games, a better team will bury you if you dig that hole. These next couple of games are a great opportunity to figure things out against a beatable opponent before facing another real East contender.

Pretty sure the Bulls embarrassed us last year even though they couldn't beat anybody else so I think our guys will take care of business knowing their ability.

Zach LaVine scoring big in 3 games so far this year ... but also turning the ball over a fair amount.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

I absolutely lost it imagining Big Al sipping szzzzurp. Super slow-mo up-and-under post moves.

Coach Borrego seems to be perturbed by the sieve-like defense, too. The Bulls are shooting 54%.

The Cody Zeller experiment is nearing an end

He looks very uncoordinated out there

Another "Say what?" pass from Batum. There's probably a French phrase for that.

I’d substitute slow with lazy.

Poor Bulls

We are playing putrid and still comfortably ahead
