Refreshing to see when the stickied thread goes to the top of the board will soon become second nature to you :lol:


Yeah i didn't realize it at first :lol:

I'm figuring it out slowly but surely. Thanks everyone for helping me learn the ropes, for real the helpful DMs I've gotten as well have been dope.

Pace and Spacers 1-0! I'll enjoy it for now til i get whupped :lol:

Really hope Buzz is ok and will show up one day to let us know that. He was up there in age, so I do worry, but It’s really good to have you aboard. You’ve been a great addition. The learning curve is normal, but 15 games in you’ll be up to speed. It’s a phenomenal game!

I thought about this yesterday. With the bubble tourney ending so soon to the start of our regular season, I didn't have time to put out the power rankings request.

It's not to late if people want to send them in by the weekend?

Tough overtime loss to Chicago on the road. Facing such a great defense I’m encouraged that we were able to put up the points we did. We’ll try to come out on top next time.

Rudy Gobert
20 PTS | 10 REB | 1 BLK

Markelle Fultz
19 PTS | 6 AST | 3 REB

Miles Bridges
17 PTS | 4 REB | 3 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK

Victor Wembanyama
16 PTS | 2-3 3PT | 5 REB | 6 AST | 1 BLK | 2 STL

Christian Wood
16 PTS | 6 REB

Trey Murphy III
14 PTS | 2-6 3PT | 2 STL

Devin Vassell
11 PTS | 13 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK

Amen Thompson
7 PTS | 3 AST | 3 STL

Fox was on some Jordan I took that personally apparently, played 48 minutes. Had the balanced scoring attack that I was envisioning for this team, have to see a few more games before I really make any adjustments.

Would love to see the play by play on that one. Seems like it may have been a buzzer beater or something close to it. Just happy to walk away without the beam being lit.

Yep, had no answer for that duo. Chet fouled out in 23 minutes largely matched up with Zion, Royce fouled out in 16 minutes largely matched up with Ingram, and Kuzma fouled out in 21 minutes off of the bench. The fact that we even got to OT is crazy.

Kessler with 12 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 blocks.
Beal with 25 points.
Mathurin with 24 points.
Poole far and away my best +/- at +15.

We shot 52.8% from the field and 59.3% from 3, kept us in the game.

Well you've got my number. I don't think I won a single game against you last year either.

Good Game your depth is strong your bench killed my bench. It’s a long season that depth alone will win you alot of games

I love this squad and wanted to shoutout some of the players I don’t post as often

Read on Twitter


Malik Monk with a clutch 21 point outing and a wild game winner! BUCKET

Read on Twitter


Coby White is becoming more of a focal point in the Bulls offense and seems to be their most consistent scorer lately.

Read on Twitter


Jaden Ivey inserted back into the starting lineup after I’m sure Monty Williams got his head examined for starting Killian Hayes over him. He has been balling out since being reinserted and needs to be getting more shots than he is. I hope he keeps building and is able to take that year 2 leap
