It's still crazy how good these two have been for the Bulls. It just goes against logic that two iso-heavy players who aren't known for their defense would be able to co-exist, let alone lead their team to be one of the best in the East, but they're making it work.

Reminds me of the Jays back in the 2020 season, when Brown finally broke out and Tatum went up another level. It's proof that they have managed to co-exist before and that translated to wins, so I still don't believe we need to break them up. It's just a matter of putting the right pieces around them, which they had that bubble year.

He trained under Bruce Lee.
Probably still in good shape, at age 74.

“I took it to heart. I dedicated myself to preparation by maintaining complete focus during basketball practice and my training with Bruce. As a result, I became stronger, faster and a much more intense player.”

“Bruce was an innovator and caused martial arts to move forward. … The skyhook is the embodiment of an efficient shot that requires minimal movement but sudden speed.”

~ Kareem Abdul-Jabber on Bruce Lee

“When Bruce died, I was so saddened by it. He was so young — he was only in his 30s. To see him pass early on was tragic and I miss him. You miss them especially when they leave you so suddenly and so unexpectedly.”

~ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on Bruce Lee

I just looked but how is Rondo only getting paid about 1.6 million?? Isn't that far less than NBA vet minimum??

I would have sat on kemba and brought him off bench instead of trading him with the pick.

The two players are obviously in trouble. And this is at least the 2nd time Porter has fought and thrown something in the locker room. Houston got him for nothing after he went off in the Cavs lockeroom a while back.

But it sounds like the Rockets will be in trouble too because Wood missed his test but they still let him play.

Re wood.

Dont know all the details of the covid test miss so not going to speak on that. Butbhe was a model citizen in detroit.

Makes me question coaching in houston more because even though kpj has issues, wood doesnt seem thr type.
