Jalen Smith blocking shots and hitting 3s. It is crazy to see a modern big after all these years of asking for one. Just let that 3p shot be for real. He is stroking it to start the season.

All have protected the rim. I am not use to it.

Who knew that taller players can protect the rim better?

Certainly not Billy!

Trae young is an awful defender. He actually does nothing well on his man

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Dalen Terry looks really good. This is probably his best game in his career.

Terry might be actually putting it together. Positively impacting the game in a variety of ways.

He does free lance and gets steals.

When he is guarding someone, he is trying to get away.

Giddey has made several nice defensive plays, actually.

Not that we’re actually going to contend for the IST crap but let’s pretend for a second that the Bulls are a serious basketball team. As a serious basketball team, the Bulls really need to keep pouring in buckets and extend the lead since they got blown out by Cleveland in their first game. Actually it was a close game that got away from them late which is even more frustrating.

Been a while since Giddey actually closes a game.

Got to hand it to Dalen Terry. Hell of a game. Might be the best of his career.

That is a confidence builder for Giddey, Terry and Matas. They all had great games and it took a ton of pressure of Vooch/Zach/Coby

Everyone played well tonight. Great bounce back game from Giddey.
