Bol.Bol hitting 3's will never not make me smile.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Had some words with Rick Brunson after game too


I don't even understand how Brunson has a job in the NBA with his history.

Is he mad he got traded? I thought he wanted out to get more minutes and will get that shot on another contender...


That's just the slander they pinned on him on the way outta town.

Gee, I wonder who he thinks the anonymous source for those reports was?

Regardless of what caused the beef, I'm here for it. Upgrade those NY / MIN games to national tv pronto!

Hopefully he is more critical of players like Jalen Hood Schifino, Jett Howard, etc. First round picks who played terribly last year deserve more scrutiny than a late second rounder.

Youtube isn't for in depth analysis of middling rookies it's for clickbait and memes.

Buzelis doing things. He could be fun off the Bulls bench.

I think Bronny is more relevant bc he doesn’t belong in the NBA or Gleague. He has no skill set and wouldn’t even start for a good D1 team (he prob wouldn’t even be a really good D2 player). Even beyond that, it’s been an elaborate scheme involving coaches, trainers, scouts to get Bronny to this point. Highlighting how unskilled he is shines a light on this.

It's probably not him making the decision though, if he was making the decision, he would stupidly play with back to backs with a swollen knee or something and it would just be the yearly Embiid repeat of aggravating something.
