This may be the best media answers I have ever heard. I know these guys are coached up, but I can't recall thinking to myself that "this guy gets who he is and what he needs to do" more than Matas made me think. Hard not to be a huge fan of this kid.


He wants to be coached and held accountable to be an All NBA Defensive Player.

Wow. Say it’s so!

Sure seems like Billy is laying out the next chapter to his identity of Bulls basketball… Balls to the Wall Defense.

We should have the depth and even some pieces to do it. If the Bulls can execute these changes defensively like they did last year offensively they will wear teams out over the season. Vet teams want none of that.

We will see how far the guys have come in game one against the most physical team in the league… the Pistons.

Love to hear Okoro’s defense and competive edge are contagious. If he can become our Caruso AK is going to look like a genius.

If you go to the T&T board and the Your Team's depth chart, I called this weeks ago.

I realize that going back 2 years and last year the Bulls' thought was maybe Patrick would find his game if he was coming off the bench. I think after the end of last season they have seen him work out and maybe now see that he can be more involved in the flow of the offense without DeRozan and Lavine never giving the ball up and with Giddey, Coby and Matas being willing passers with pace maybe if they allow PWill to exit the stretch corner and back cut to the basket or into the post he might be scoring more

Hmm… Giannis has bullied them for years. He’s bullied the whole league too.

Although we got him last season in our last match up. He didn’t know what to do.

I’d love to believe that. Don’t at all though.

I have no idea why Pat is in that photo but I will be surprised if he starts and shocked if he plays like you say above.

AK made it clear Andy bring pace and intensity to our defense with full court and physicality… that would mean Pat won’t even play as he jogs up and down the court and rarely goes for rebounds.

Is AK a giant or was Billy sitting in a hole or what?

Lopez bullied and was always hitting 30 foot 3 against us.

Bobby was maul us.

They came out and beat on the Bulls.

Pat is a low motor , low IQ player. He played like crap and it he does not acknowledge it. He will always be trash.

Did the Bulls really not have Coby or Giddey speak on the podium at media day and only had Ayo, Matas, and Vuc? Man that's a weird trio if those were your only three guys.

You're right, I didn't see them posted in how twitter brought them up, but manually searching I see them now. I think I clicked through and was just looking at the youtube channel.
