Brunson gets away with constant pushoffs and somehow gets rewarded for flailing after initiating contact.

He's worse than SGA

Agreed, unfortunately. I don't think that even when he plays, he's actually healthy.

Sixers guard play, Maxey and Oubre lifting them to 5-1 while 100mill in salaries sit on the sidelines (or limp for 20min a game)

Will Hardy is the worst defensive coach in NBA history statistically, but at least every young player on the Jazz's roster has been terrible other than Keyonte and Kessler this year.

Bulls getting absolutely hosed by refs in the first half.

Somehow elbowing opponent in frustration after the play is blown as foul is A OK in New York, just because ref already call a foul. Boy no team really want that to be a precedent...

RJ has really started the season blistering hot. Raps are putting him in good positions offensively, they just need to fix the defensive coverage.

Grimes has been fun to watch tonight.
Big payday to come. He will eventually get his longterm contract.

I am rooting for the Bulls, but their luck must run out at one point. Also, how sad it is that NY vs Chicago being match of the day is kinda a joke. Not to mention, If I just went outside and asked random people to name NBA teams they know, Bulls would probably still be top 3 most known team by regular European here. WTF happened to Chicago Bulls, its a legendary franchise in a top 4 city in the USA.

After Jordan retired their GM Jerry Krause wanted to prove he was the genius who assembled the dynasty, not that he just got lucky with Jordan and Pippen. Of course they totally sucked until he got fired and replaced with the infamous Gar Forman and John Paxson duo. There followed 20 years of mediocre management engaging in disgusting nepotism and an owner who only actually cared about his baseball team (but the White Sox still suck too lol) as long as the team was profitable the front office had a license to do whatever they wanted, and there are enough casual fans who want to do something fun indoors in the middle of winter to keep the arena full even when the team is awful, so they haven't tried very hard to be competitive except when they lucked into it.

If Jordan the player had Jordan the executive he would have had zero titles. Krause was the genius who assembled the dynasty.


Krause inherited a team that had Michael Jordan, and doesn’t get a dynasty without him. The 95 Bulls were 34-31 before Jordan came back and Krause didn’t want to trade for Rodman.

Krause didn’t get as much credit as he deserved, but he didn’t deserve as much credit as he wanted.

He made good moves but wasn’t able to replicate his success after 98, told Phil Jackson he’d get fired even if he went 82-0, no free agent wanted to sign with the Bulls because of him, and he passed on Reggie Miller, Shawn Kemp, Michael Finley, and Pau Gasol.

Definitely a mixed bag.

And they're barely ahead of a team forecast to be play-in fodder.

Mike Brown not beating the joke coach allegations.

Spurs off to a predictably slow start after an emotional win vs. Miami in a game we all said was a trap game for us.

Our Guards refusing to passing will Wemby and now he’s also getting called ticky-tack fouls so he’s already on the bench. So dumb.

Forecasts are wrong sometimes and it's way too early to see if that's the case with Chicago.
