Man I am actually excited as **** all of a sudden. This is gonna be a great year for Bulls basketball. We're gonna love this team. No idea how many will become good players, but just by the numbers and odds you gotta believe there are at least 2 guys on this team that will be quality NBA starters at some point.

Let the road for #1 begins. Excited.

This will be the best season of bball since we battled the Heat. Young talent on the Bulls and following the top prospects in college and Luka.

So much better than watching hero ISO Jimmy Wade ball. We will be so much more fun to watch and the many losses will have meaning.

Lavine says he is jumping higher than he did before ACL. That is ghostly.

Does that mean he's a good defender now? :king:

I'm interested to see if they actually play with a smart, high-tempo offensive system. It's the 3rd year now we've been hearing the fluff about Fred's 'system', well now Butler and the old guys are gone and our roster is finally young, let's see what you've been talking about.

Yeah, it's kind of put up or shut up for Hoiberg now. No more excuses about not having the players he needs for his offense.

Wont happen of course, but my dream starters would be Dunn, Lavine, Holiday, Lauri, Felicio.

Trade Lopez. Mirotic and Portis back ups.

Excited for the season. Gonna be hard to be worse than the hawks knicks and pacers though

I was talking to a buddy today and said I don't see many wins but I think the big surprise will be Fred. I think people are going to walk away saying he can coach. I know I'm alone on it but I think he's going to do well.

I'll believe it when I see it but he's definitely got a better roster for it this season. Dunn and LaVine are definitely suited for the up-tempo style.

Do we need a crane to get him down from the roof?

Agree. It's so strange how we haven't really seen that much creativity in the schemes but everybody still seems to have so much faith in Hoiberg's offensive ideas. Not just Bulls FO but all around the league. Taj even called him an "offensive guru" after he was traded. I wish I could see what they mean but I just don't.

there is no question some of the players ran the plays they wanted to run rather than what they were coached to run. No way Fred calls as much ISO Hero ball as we saw last year.

So, yeah, i will be interested to find out if he can actually coach or not
