That was a team that scared me. Hell I was prepared for a double double with several blocks out of Edey. But if the shots are falling that interior D doesn't mean anything. Great win!

Was that the most 3s in franchise history? 4th game of the year.
I thought the Bulls were really sloppy and played poorly, still put up 126 and won a game.
I guess this is why everyone shoots 3s.

Free Jalen Smith. Only 11 minutes. Terry got 12 and produced 0 points 0 rebounds 1 assists and 4 fouls.

Zach has been great this season and was great tonight. His only flaw has been his TOs, and tonight he only had 1. He had some big buckets down the stretch

Coby is such a streaky shooter, it's crazy

Ayo starting to show some signs of life, had some big hustle plays tonight

Vuc is another guy who has been great so far this season, it's good to see his jump shot come back around

Smith has been great off the bench, but I'd like to see him start in place of Vuc and use Vuc as a super sub to minimize his defensive woes, but I know that won't happen

Giddey stuffs the stat sheet and made some great passes and has been shooting the 3 better than expected so far

Lonzo makes an impact in his limited minutes, the ball movement goes crazy when he's in. Hopefully, he'll be able to play more than 16 minutes eventually

No comment on Pat

We just gotta cut the unforced TOs, we only had 9 tonight that's huge, and find a way to pick up the defense because we're not gonna shoot 25-53 from three every night.

Fun win. It's very clear how much having Giddey and Ball help us have an identity at the end of games. Gives Vooch a ton of life.

They won't do it, but what would be really interesting is starting Jalen at the 4 next to Vuc.

Smith cannot guard on the perimeter. Plus we need bench scoring.

Take care of the ball and push the pace trying to score a minimum of a 120 pts regardless of twos or threes and things will fall into place

Zach is making the all-star game if we play .500 ball.

1st in pace
3rd in 3PA
3rd in 3PM
4th in AST%
5th in 3P%

They're gonna be bad on defense, but they're gonna be able to put up points. If the other team can't keep up, Bulls win.

Yeah this is a play-in team at worst.

We're the kings of being mid, we'll find a way to be in the thick of the play-in race for sure.

This team is a serious threat for the record for 3s in a game by a team, simply because we can't score points any other way.

It worked when we started Vuc and Drummond last season. Also, Williams may be better playing against second unit guys. Again, I don't think they'd do it but it would be interesting to see them try it out.

Zach and Vooch trade value rising by the game.

With Ja out the bulls I thought were slightly favorites, idk how the hell they were down all game but the bench led by Phillips shifted the momentum late in the third and bulls got hot to win the game.

Williams might be even better if he played against G league guys …

Patrick Williams has scored in single digits in 112 out of 217 career games. That is 51.6%
