Bulls get a win over a good team that shot the 3 well. Giddey with a career high. Vuc seems to be really bought in which has been a huge deal for them. They have him playing at that pseudo all star level right now.

Brutal schedule coming up now for the Bulls.

@NYK, PHI, @MIL, @CLE (b2b), SAS, @DET, @UTAH, @DEN (b2b)

8 games that will tell us a lot as to whether the Bulls will be fighting for a top 6 seed, or are a team flattering to deceive.

Always better to start the season with a difficult schedule and end with an easy schedule.

@Denver on a back-to-back with the elevation is brutal, and it doesn’t help that they have the best player in the world and a stacked team. @CLE on a back-to-back is brutal as well.

Think we need about a quarter of games played (around 22 ish) before we get a proper read on them and many other teams with playoff aspirations who aren't currently regarded as contenders.

Its good for the rest of NBA having a big market and historical franchise like The Bulls competitive again.

Of couse the Bulls are back The NBA is back on NBC.

I dont really buy into the notion that the East is that weak. Does this year stick out relative to other years of the West being better than the East

I think that Giddey might be sustainable because he played like this to close out last season but one of Chicago's problems is that its play is partially based on Vucevic playing out of his mind. He is going to come back down to earth.

Hopefully Collins coming back helps mitigate that inevitable decline.

The Bulls are 5-0 and beat the Knicks last night and are clicking right now. Dosunmu and Huerter off the bench are bringing it after an injury ridden season last year they both look hungry to play. Giddey has the keys and is navigating quite nicely. This is why we play the games rather than handing out seeds in October.

Any team can get hot for a 5 game stretch. This overreaction is cringe yet typical of realgm

Oh we know... i think it was 2018 when our youg core if AG Fournier Vuc went 10-2(???) They were playing out of their minds then.. but before the AS break we reverted to the mean and became below .500

We still love Vuc though
