I cheer for the Bulls and want them to be good, but nothing about their roster screams good to me. Vooch has got a good start, but hes Vooch, am I counting on him, or Buzelis, Okoro, Williams, Huertel to be a good NBA team? I am not.


Giddey, Buzelis and White are a pretty good start in building a foundation.


They are fine, but its because Buzelis and Giddey are young, I am exited sbout their future, but I am not that exited about them being top 3 players on NBA team in 2025.

Everything is better than watching Derozan and Lavine :lol:

Schroder, Westbrook; Sabonis, Derozan and Lavine starting 5 of Kings is one of most painful things i've seen as nba fan in past 20 years.

East is so mediocre that Bulls could still end up with comfortable top 6 seed.

Chicago plays NY, @NY, Phil, @Mil, @Cle, SA and then play 8 of 10 on the road. I wouldn't be surprised if they drop under 0.500 during that stretch.

After that the schedule gets lighter by a lot.

The team isn't going to make a run or something. That said, if you can still get in on the vegas 32.5 win estimate, take the over.

why,,,the bulls arent good,,,the rest of the league sucks

an org like the bulls don't just flip the script. they don't make a jump, the league comes down to their level

look at the roster and tell me in what kind of environment could they prosper.......a bad environment. in other words if the state of the east was league wide

Gotta love the old-head take of "the league sux now!1" with nothing to back up the claim. Just pure emotion and nostalgia.

At some point, the amount becomes significant and not only noise or luck. Bulls give most fg attempts at basket in NBA, they running teams and opponents away from 3 point line. Sometimes u can see bulls player pre rotating where he expects player to drift for a open 3, this opens easy drives and paint shors- some teams going to exploit it heavily, Wemby might go for 50 against bulls, but
On a regular NBA night or teams playing back to back, 3 in 4 won't take advantage, so overall numbers will look like lucky breaks for bulls.

If Billy Donovan has figured out how to make the NBA shoot 26% on 3 pointers he should be hailed as the heir to Thibodeau.

they have been lucky on defense. opponents are shooting 26% from three against them. they are getting outlier shot making from a few guys. their roster doesn't seem constructed for free throw advantage, and they have the worst turnover differential in the league.

they'll be good if they can maintain this kind of shot making advantage but i'm skeptical.

The sharing of the basketball looks real to me. If it continues, they'll beat a lot of teams. Historically, high assist teams do well in the NBA regular season.
