Boo hoo to those that want to tank to get a top 10 pick.

I look at it this way. With the starting 5, Giddey new, PWill coming off the injury, Zach kind of playing the SF and Coby the SG they need time to grow as a unit. With Smith and THT being new, Ayo coming off the bench, Ball returning from injury, and Phillips finally getting minutes they've got to get used to what spots the other guys like to get to what the other guys do with the ball.

The point being for the first 20 games inconsistent should be expected but the potential to learn about each other is certainly there and games 20 to 60 should look like much more of a productive unit.

We tried to get a gofundme going for your antenna, but the general consensus was "he can get on his dam self" sorry. I didn't pitch it hard enough

Lavine is 2 ppg behind Tatum & KD in scoring on _much_ fewer shots.
Lavine: 26 ppg on 16 FGA
Tatum: 28 ppg on 20 FGA
SGA: 28 ppg on 23 FGA
Durant: 28 ppg on 18 FGA

I think he can be moved for matching salaries of useless roleplayers.

If he maintains this type of play, we should just think about keeping him.


It's quite a mental puzzle. The two guys that I felt.were going to be a hindrance are looking pretty dam good.

Optomistic view: I guess it's a win win because either they stay.and continue playing well, or we get better offers.

So what are the tankers thinking if we beat BKN and Jazz and start 5-2?

I was wonder the same thing...

I may have posted a similar question during training camp but at the time it was kinda sarcastic because I didn't think 5-2 was a real possibility, 2-5 seemed more realistic. 5-2 is certainly possible now.

It's a long road ahead, but:

It's too early, let's see after 20 games. I'm not spending $20 for antenna or subscribe to watch on that stupid app
Give them half a season, they can't possibly sustain this playing style. Any good black friday deals on antennas?
The post all star break is gonna be a hell of a reality check, AK is dumb for not blowing this up sooner. Anyone know how to set up DVR?
They're getting bounced in the play-in again because... continuity, right?
I'd rather have a shot at the lottery than my team being swept in the first round, but at least I can stream the games normally
They just got lucky those shots went in, no way they survive the semi
Meh that was an easy path, any team can make it to the ECF
Lol, took these pretenders 7 games to beat Boston. Go put money on OKC!
I know they won the chip, but I'd still rather us not hand our pick to San Antonio in a generational deep draft class! What a disaster that DeMar trade was, AK should be fired

Return to Chicago Bulls
