Sounds like they could use your brand of positivity over there.

Bro, my posts would be viewed as delusionally positive there

[RookieStar]

The Suns are pathetic. 3pts in the 4th quarter with 2 mins left....

TBF... Booker and Beal are out.

They still have guys like Eric Gordon. Btw Bol DNP.

You mean that fat old washed-up dude who is their version of our Jingles? Yeah no...

Suns are like the Celts. Their SL can beat any team. But after that... its slim pickings.

Just an "and-1" wasn't enough here

Mo Bamba got his first DNP-CD of the year in the Sixers' opener.

Cliff knew. He knew the whole time...

I kept telling people, if Cliff is not playing him there is a reason. The guy just does not have fire, he just coasts along.

I'm so happy that he left.

[basketballRob]

Agreed. He's cooked. No way I want him playing minutes for us. He is an anchor that slows things down and can't play defense. No thanks.

can't play defense.

I mean, it's 100% false.
Vuc teams where he was starter were:
2018-19 - 8th best
2019-20- 10th best
2020-21 -11th
2021-22- 22th
2022-23- 5t best

If you are part of a team that has been top 10 defense three times in past 5 years, despite fact all players around you changed, it probably means you are not bad defender.

Vuc much like Jokic, has his latheral set of limitations and often looks worst than he actually is. But he doesn't make many mental errors.

Bulls have several massive problems:
1) Lonzo. He was ment to be their anchor. Pass first playmaker with elite 3 and D perimeter defense + spacing. Played like 30 games in 3 years.
2) Lavine. Modern day Antoine Walker/ Steve Francis. negative BBIQ. Horrid shot selection. Zero self awarness.


Bulls are team that probably should blow up roster. Will they? I have no clue. But Vuc/Derozan/Caruso 100% deserve better than this. On other hand, any team that gets Lavine will regret it.

How many Bulls games have you watched over the last few years? F those stats that don’t really prove anything. I’ve watched at least 40+ full Bulls games over the last 3 years. I jump on the Bulls board and talk to the guys over there. He’s a dinosaur NBA center. He’s slow. He’s not Jokic… AT ALL.

I noticed that in the last game. He really isn't very mobile now, and he was never a good perimeter defender before. What a waste of money to try to be mediocre.

Look at Kai Jones.
Guy was unhappy with "tretment". Went on twitter and demanded a trade. Hornets cutted him. Nobody picked him up.

Narrative that Clifford doesn't play young players was one of worst things here.

Bamba is bum. One of our worst lottery picks. to me probably most frustrating one, because if you are 7 footer with 7'10 wingspan, you can average 10-10-3 in your sleep, by accident, you just have to learn how to not be usless on offense. Instad, he fell in love with 3 point shot and couldn't set proper screens to save his life.



Mo Bamba screens were softer than Dave Chappele's Prince screens

[ogmagicfan]

Anyone else noticing lower scoring games so far this season?

Toronto got 23 pts with 3 mins left in the 1st half

[Knightro]

Chet is so good. Hope he stays healthy.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Brandon Miller is going wild. I am so happy for the Hornets fans.

[Knightro]

It's only two games in, but Ausar looks much better than Amen so far.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

This Cavs vs. OKC game is more intense then it needs to be.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Jalen Green with his 16 points on 15 shots is driving me up the wall.

[RookieStar]

Wow Chet... hope he keeps it up and does this the full 82 RS

[Bensational]

Not sure how the Thunder pulled that win out, they seemed so disorganised the whole game.

[pepe1991]

Holmgren is )saac + offense+ rebounding.

[zaymon]

Holmgren is a dog. Paolo needs to watch some Chet tape. Chet + Suggs would be hilarious I like Paolo but he shouldnt feel entitled, players are coming for his ass.
