Niko channeling his inner Lauri with 0 Assists.

Wonder how many times, if ever before, Robin has shot 20 times in a game.

Call Thibs. Niko for KAT, Wiggins, and 2018 1st round pick swap.

It's not common, but it's more of a combination of Mirotic and some young players getting confidence and struggling teams.

Charlotte's lost 7 of their last 10.
New York is mediocre.
Boston played without Kyrie.
Utah's lost 4 in a row.

The Bulls are on pace for 21 wins now, which is 1 off the worst record in the league of last season.

I’d take 10 wins and getting a superstar over 35 wins and getting a role player.

I think the only time I’d be okay with them winning, is if Markkanen drops like 40.

Nice win. Niko has to go now.

They are fun to watch again. I say good. I was never a fan of tanking and sorry I ever fell into that BS with everyone. I hope Fred and these kids destroy it from here on out. Then I hope we wind up with the gem of the draft anyway. The basketball gods should PUNISH teams who actively try to lose and reward the ones who go for it.

About 3 years too late. :lol:

It is strange. I have no explanation. I thought after that heartbreaker to the Pacers, making them 3-20, this team would give in. But heart of a lion since then.

You cannot look at how this team is playing and say their likely record should be projected on our full season record.

Niko and Portis were both out to start the year, Dunn clearly is progressing, and LaVine is back soon.

LaVine is going to be rusty and likely on a minutes restricton. It doesn't seem likely that he'll affect winning right away.

Season is headed toward disaster.

We’re going to need some decisive action. We are managed by GarPax.

This kills the man.

Dunn sucks at shooting unless the game counts and it is late, then he is GOAT. Good game from him even though 6-18. That is Dunn.

don't see Dunn ever going to be a big time scorer, but he's a baller. He can make an impact without having to score a lot. I think people should avoid thinking about 'Point Guard of the Future' and try to force Dunn into that picture. Dunn can play, he's one more playmaker we want to keep. He reminds me of Iguodala a little.

And Lauri isn't even out there right now, he's only gonna continue getting better. This is clearly a mid lottery team.

Red was quite adamant that guys like Niko and RoLo wouldn’t effect the tank.

To be honest it wasn’t against the better teams(Boston didn’t have Irving,Hayward),but still your right this is impressive.They have been playing so much better with niko and pretty much whole team healthy excluding lavine.

We got to stop soon. Winning ain’t helping the tank.

Niko has said he wants to stay in Chicago. And I think he and Portis are fine, for now.
