Any chance the new guys play? Really want Bruce to take over the POA role defensively

Also wanna see some minutes from Kira and Nwora to see what they got

Great opportunity to show out on TNT in the states which means they'll probably brick it tonight lol.

Nothing was worst than the Milwaukee 2/30 start.

Dont want to start a thread for this - but now that we are in a new era I 100% hope we have a rebrand heading into 2024-25. A jersey that in 20 years we look back on and recognize it as the BBQ era jersey.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

We need to attack Vucevic early and expose their pick and roll defense. Get an off ball switch of Barnes on Vucevic and run a pick and roll with IQ.

That should open up quite a few corner threes as the Bulls will have to rotate. This will let RJ attack a rotating defense and get to the line early.

I want to see Gradey get more minutes and knock down open threes. The new look Raptors should generate a lot more open looks and slower close outs.

Should be fun. Judging from the podcasts, Bull fans are quite envious of our situation, because we've moved on and have a our top core pieces set in place to build with. I feel the same way. We can actually think about shopping now that we have capital to spend. All the teams that have to shed guys can be picked over. They all want young talent. No one will give it. It means our stash of picks and fillers can potentially be attractive. We're not even worse than the Bulls now.

I would also like to see Bruce Brown play tonight. The other players we got are probably bench fodder so I'm curious if they find a role on the team.

This game is on TNT. OP, add that to the title. Pretty funny.
