The kid could very well make it but it's only been 3 games. They said the same about Andrea when he came second in ROY and our team took the Atlantic.

He's been where he needs to be on the floor. He has active hands and he's pretty fluid. Yes Bargnani had his moments offensively in year 01 but so far it looks like Porzingis has a better feel for the game. I'm very interested to revisit this at the halfway point of this season

I think we all better hope Steph Curry decides to play baseball in the coming years instead.

Orlando seems to be a good point guard away from being a serious threat. Vucevic, Oladipo and Harris are deadly! Fournier is solid too. They just need a point guard who can shoot and doesn't turn the ball over so much like Payton.

10 points off the bench for bobby Portis. I actually like MU but man he's a useless drafter. That's why I don't really care about the Knicks pick - MU will waste in on some scrub who Casey will ignore.

If you touch Lou Williams, it is a foul.

In a game where they got blown out by Charlotte, who scored 130. I like Portis, but are we celebrating garbage time victories now?

In fairness to him the entire bench scored 2 points. The box score to that game is one of the most bizarre I've seen. After the starters it's 0's all the way down until you see a random 2 points there.

The Bulls are in trouble with no defense and other than Butler no offense and butlers defense has dropped off.
Just wait for the inevitable injuries to start to pile up they will be fighting for a play-off spot.
