NBA cup courts are a horrendous eyesore. So many colors and advertisements, and it doesn’t help that they’re in Chicago but the knicks are wearing their home jerseys. It’s just weird to look at

Josh Giddey has single handedly turned this franchise around. Look at the brand of basketball they're playing with him at the helm.

Bulls taken it to the Knicks up 14 shooting 54%

Jettisoning the ball stoppers LaVine and DeRozan was just as important. They played sad loser basketball with those two, as the Kings currently do. :noway:

One of the more orange courts you'll find. Appropriate for Halloween?

They're losing to the best team in the East*, no shame in that.

The foul disparity is too. If you don't want your opponents shooting FTs it helps to not foul them :wink:

17 assists on 25 made baskets. Bulls continuing to share the sugar.

Wow Giddey. Leaving OKC really did great for his career.

Who wins?
