10 Bulls played. 9 Bulls scored at least 9 points. Gonna be a long year in Sacramento. The fans might as well stop showing up now.

They wish they had Minott.

The 2025-26 Bulls and Zach LaVine have the same number of career 4 game winning streaks. :nonono:

You don’t need luck on your side when you have the Kings on the other side.

I hate to put down The Kings, but geez they have to be one of the least enjoyable teams to watch with that awful Bulls lite Roster Construction.

They worked so hard in the last 10 years to get respectability back, and in the space of 2 or so years have basically undid all their hard work.

At least other bad teams (except for The Nets) like The Hornets and Wizards have exciting young players to watch. The Kings have zilch.

Gotta feel sorry for Sac Town fans

Only 6 in double digits though.. we fell off.

Love the fact he is a home grown kid from Chicago too.

Looks like he is breaking out in the manner many hoped Reed Sheppard would this season..

The trend is your friend.

vs. Detroit: 29 assists
vs. Orlando: 26 assists
vs. Atlanta: 33 assists
vs. Sacramento: 34 assists

Without Coby White's scoring. A lot to like right now if you're a Bulls fan. The expectation probably going into the year was the team would start 1-3. Can't argue with 4-0.

That is all Giddey and Tre Jones. The ball isn't sticking. Our primary ball handlers don't pound the rock and everyone knows they will get it back if they move.

When Zach and DeMar were here there was so much standing around watching a dude ISO. Guys like Patrick Williams never learned to do anything but spot up in the corner. Now he is making touch passes to Vooch in the post. It is wild.
