Quentin Grimes, Naji Marshall and Josh Giddey were angels sent from heaven for some fantasy teams.

Think the Bulls might entertain a S&T of Giddey for Dame?

Edit: seems it was a team worst.

Plus, he only played 27 minutes.

He then goes on to declare this 33-40 team is "special". "Get your tickets!"

I know they have gone from pitiful to mediocre, but let's slow down here.

I hope not. Career 33% 3p, this is where Giannis kind of really hurts us. We can't trade for any starter that can't shoot 3s above league average.

Do I have to tap the sign regarding the Bulls?

One cool thing about Giddey's half-court buzzer beater is that he held his follow-through like he knew it was good. And sure enough, he said that it felt and looked really good when he released it, which is why he did that. Nothing like knowing your half-courter is going to be pure.

I also love watching the other players on plays like these. The guy who passed Giddey the ball was basically in shock. Some of the Lakers' bench looked like they wanted to go nuts as fans enjoying a crazy play, but they had to stay calm and disappointed.

9-4 in the month of March. Some quality wins.

It’s not just Giddey. They made a great pick with Buzelis. Does it sustain next season? Don’t know.

Is Giddey on a contract year drive? Probably.

But it may be as simple as them dumping Lavine.

We'd kill to have LaVine here instead of Kuzma. He was actually having his best season in a while before the trade, and was a pretty big reason why the Bulls were a scrappy, borderline .500 team the first 2-3 months. Even if this unusual efficiency explosion from Giddey is legit, you've been around here too long to not know that the "Ides of March" in the NBA calendar is an annual tradition that always leads to irrational hot takes. We'll see what Giddey, and this Bulls team looks like, after he gets paid.

-41 on the heels of a 4-13 performance and Middleton's knee is acting up again. But let's all scream into the void because AJ Johnson faked a pass and dunked against a tanking team the other night. Truly.

Those Bulls are on an absolute tear on their way to... the 9 seed like the past decade. Poverty franchise that would rank among the worst if not for 6 years of the GOAT.

pifhluk23 · Post #156 » by **pifhluk23** » Fri Mar 28, 2025 4:17 pm

Man if we had LaVine I would actually feel confident about a 1st rd series and have a shot in 2nd rd. Instead we have Kuzma who I tried to talk myself into because of the Lakers run but he's just not that good.

He's a rookie. There's no point going back and forth about his individual stats night to night. He's flashing traits and abilities on the court that can translate to future success on the court. Abilities none of the previous Horst 1st rounders since Donte have shown. HIs first step and speed are already elite. There's more there than what the box score leads one to believe.

What? Why? I must be way out of the loop on what's going on there. From the outside I thought he was doing a pretty good job. They're tied for 4th in a pretty competitive West.
