They're barely starting one center.

What are Allen, Mobley, and Markkanen?

Not at all, seems the team would be better served if guys put their egos aside to come off the bench. Or maybe Bickerstaff just has no idea what he is doing.

If the Bulls weren't stacked in the back court, Ayo would be a rookie to look out for this year

the whole point of drafting mobley is he plays 3 postions. lauri plays 3 positons too. allen is the only traditional center thats an odd fit. your probably the only guy with delusional bulls fans that cares abt preseason as if 50 point lead means a lot. bulls were tryhards thinking this was 98 finals.

Right on, let's see how that goes in the NBA.

Westbrook plays hard. But if anyone could you use some finesse in their game ...

I do not disagree, it's just only 1 of the 3 can stretch the floor. None of the 3 can defend opposing teams SF. Most, if not all of the 3 will have difficulty defending the current era PF.

Plus, they were more successful with all 3 out there since the Cavs lack any real wing players. Also not having ball hog Sexton out there I'm sure helped too.

I just don't know in today's NBA how successful or sustainable playing three 7 footers together really is.

It reeks of desperation. I remember when Frank Vogel had to trot out Biyombo and Vucevic lineups and play Aaron Gordon at the 3 just to fit the roster construction Rob Hennigan provided of having Gordon, Ibaka, Biyombo, Vucevic, Birch.

turns out the Lakers can play D

Crowder could use an intervention. His shooting is getting worst.

MoMan24 · Post #518 » by **MoMan24** » Mon Oct 11, 2021 3:37 am

Deandre Jordan is washed yet is starting next to AD who looks heavier and slower. I don't understand this at all. With Westbrook and Bron I would be shocked if AD is not the starting center. This is getting to the point where the front office has to step in.

the way they officiate Melo is a **** joke

Bridgea reaches twice, no call. Melo draws attention to it and gets called for a turnover

Nets fans could have told you how god awful Jordan is. Westbrook his usual turnover machine
