Guess Luka won’t average 40pts a game

No back to backs. At least not yet.


I thought he was never doing back to backs ever again? Or was that just last year?


He's probably never doing them again, but who knows what this program they have him on will do. They have him on a tight minutes restriction. Maybe they won't need him to play back to backs. It does seem like they are picking and choosing what games to play him in. No Poeltl, Embiid can bum slay smaller guys all day.

Banging against Detroit probably is an easy game to sit out.

Nope. Should have let him go to RFA and signed him for the same deal Okoro got. Waste of money.

Six turnovers notwithstanding, Nikola Jovic is probably playing his best game of the season tonight, all around.

I'm happy with the win, of course, but damn-- we have a long way to go.

I hate the nine attempts from three for Victor.

People can complain about Chicago getting a lot of calls all they want, but the Bulls are the ones attacking knowing they're getting them. Cleveland meanwhile has shot nearly 50 three pointers. If they lose tonight, that is why.

Okoro's best game of the season would come against his former team. Such is life.

I mean you can also complain that Mobley tackled Giddey and it wasn't called, and there were points literally erased due to referee incompetence. :lol:

I feel like Vucevic was the worst player in the game tonight and he played down the stretch. They were putrid with him out there.
