PG: First time in 29 years

[kulaz3000]

Giddey's contract is looking like an absolute bargain.

[WindyCityBorn]

So Dalen's career is now dead, huh?

Yes. There are absolutely no minutes for him. I’m really interested to see how we are going to get Coby 30 minutes. No one deserves to lose playing time when he comes back.

So Dalen's career is now dead, huh?

It was alive at some point?

[GoBlue72391]

If we go 10-0 I'll get AK tatted on my left cheek and ME on my right.

I'll pay for it

I was planning on doing it myself.

[Hangtime84]

some these guy gonna take pay cuts to come back simply based on the how likeable they are.

[GoBlue72391]

Unbelievable. We're not singing "hallelujah" just yet. Let's see by game 20.

Maybe not singing, but I'm warming up my vocal chords.

[bullskokie]

Thats a concern for me. I really love our rotation, just insert Collins. I feel chemistry would change when Coby is back.

[DASMACKDOWN]

Giddey's contract is looking like an absolute bargain.

Now if we can get Ayo and Coby back on steals as well, then we are cooking.

[GoBlue72391]

I also wanted to point out that Huerter played some fantastic defense in the second half.

He's just a good all around player.

[WindyCityBorn]

Man if this real it’s going to be a crazy off-season if they want continuity. Vuc, Ayo, Huerter and Coby will all be free agents. I’m actually worried Coby could hurt chemistry when he comes back.

[bullskokie]

We need to delay Coby’s return!

The only way I see this happening is if they going far in the playoffs this season, and they simply just want to remain with THIS team, and the group of players and coaches.

I wouldn't say it's impossible, but if they are seeking the biggest contract available, one of them will need to go, but if they are willing to stay with this team, then I could see them both taking a cut to keep the team intact and I don't think that possibility would be a zero, because they just seem like team first players.

It's going to be a curious side plot to keep an eye on. But the three headed back court monster of Ayo, Coby and Giddey is definitely worth considering to keep long term moving forward.

[MikeDC]

Bogans was better.

Okoro will be better soon enough. How much better? Probably not a ton, but he's way below his career norms. No way he's this bad all season.

Okoro had great spacing in Cleveland. I don't think he is getting the window he was getting last year. His release needs to be faster if he wants to get those corner 3s up.

That's my impression too.

Giddey, on the other hand, has gotten just a little bit quicker and more aggressive and definitely stronger, and it's all just coming together for him. This was almost a flawless game

[NecessaryEvil]

Coby and Josh already established amazing chemistry

Hell, that whole team had great chemistry after the deadline.

I don’t think adding an efficient, unselfish, 24ppg scorer will be as bad as you all think. Coby is essential.

He’s also a phenomenal driver and finisher

[meekrab]

I'm just worried that my heart will break when we finally lose a game in February or whatever.

Thoughts:

Bulls responded very patiently throughout the 3rd and 4th quarter storm when Knicks was making series of runs. It was frustrating to watch because Knicks was locked in and really pressuring on both ends. Bulls stuck with moving the ball, resulting in a few last second desperation shots. Luckily Bulls made enough shots to not let the Knicks take the lead (thanks to Ayo). I see the Bulls being patient with moving the ball in that situation as positive sign. It shows trust in the process and the brand of basketball they're playing. I think it contributes to the bounce back in the 4th. They stuck to it and when the Knicks show signs of cracks it broke through.

Coby could probably help us in those dry 3rd and 4th quarter stretches. But I actually think it's probably a blessing in disguise that he's out during this 5-0 stretch. It builds identity. I could easily see the team got lazy and fall back on Coby hero ball.

If Bulls maintain winning record until ASB, Giddey is a lock for All-Star selection.

Bulls are really active defensively. Everybody.

Ayo has matured into a really solid 2-way veteran. He's definitely one of the leader of this team.

[Red8911]

Doesn’t get better than going 5-0 after 29 years and doing it against the Knicks !

Beat them again on Sunday in MSG, can’t have that first loss against them!

All you bulls haters, is there another excuse why the bulls are undefeated?

[Chi town]

Only 2 pages on the PG thread. In the golden age this thread would be 15 pages deep by this point after a game like this.

Bro, I well remember those glory days. Bulls management seemed to go out of their way to murder any optimism for the team. I was away for half a decade, and even still I'm only kinda watching from afar (it's **** impossible to watch NBA games these days). We'll probably never reach that level again, no matter how good the team is.

It’ll be like that again by the ASG.

We will keep winning.

[Red8911]

I forgot what losing even feels like anymore

Oh, a true artisté
