Re: Around The NBA : 21-22 Edition
To be fair, Celtics were just on fire from the 3pt line in the 1st half while Evan was hot all game long and some of the shots he made were pure lucky - same with that last second shot by Barrett.
Celtics played pretty good to win the game but they still lost, that's gotta hurt in a big way.

It's hard to believe this team was in the Conference Finals in 2020, not that long ago.

Man that’s crazy. Pretty sure they had practice today. Then he spent some time talking to Stacey for his podcast and then drove a couple hours with Ayo to Champaign to support his rookie.
Impressive leadership right there.
Zach did the same too last night showing up to the WCB game to support Dotson, McLung, etc.

Re: Around The NBA : 21-22 Edition
Charles Barkley claims us as 'his' Chicago Bulls lol. Very cool to get league wide recognition again.
Says the only elite teams in the east are Chicago, BKN and Milwaukee.
Also says Zach should be higher than 4th in all star voting
and that DeMar is finally getting the credit he deserves being in Chicago

Re: Around The NBA : 21-22 Edition
I wonder if/how unvaccinated players are getting around Chicago’s new vaccine proof / mandates.
Proof is required for restaurants and sporting events-anywhere food is served.
It likely goes unenforced but I wonder if fans could call the cops
Sorry Kyrie, gonna need to sit out this game

Also, they were #1 seed in 2017, with future near All Star Jalen Brown on the roster but a mostly unplayed rookie, and future All Star Jason Tatum about ready to join the team. If you had a #1 seed and then got Brown and Tatum, wouldn't you think your team would be good 4 years later?

That was the fourth 19 point comeback win against the Celtics this season. Yikes.

Celtics are 2-11 in "clutch" games (decided by 5 points or less). This shot was flukey (Barrett was 3-14 to that point) but there does seem to be a pattern of not closing games.
Boston is 29th in 4th quarter net rating. Oof.

As long as Barkley doesn’t “guarantee” anything with us, then I’m cool with the support.
It also seemed like the whole panel was thinking that both Demar and Zach should start for the ASG.
I think Kenny also mentioned DDR being an MVP candidate.
People are definitely starting to take notice!

Let's all swear the following: we will not panic when they have a slump. All teams slump. What matters is they have the talent and culture to win consistently over the long haul.

Another ex-Bull waived! This time, it's someone GarPax gave $20M to just a few short years ago. GarPax in shambles again!

Man, we had so many players under GarPax that I disliked so much I'd forgotten how disappointing Jabari Parker was in his appreciatively brief time here.

Re: Around The NBA : 21-22 Edition
I wonder if Klay will play that game. He's supposedly not doing B2B and the Warriors play at the Bucks the night before the Bulls.

People made too big a deal of that signing. Jabari wasn't any good here but it was only one year of guaranteed salary and that cap space wasn't going to be used for anything else that year. We really didn't lose anything.

Re: Around The NBA : 21-22 Edition
It's hard to know what to expect from Klay. His situation is without much precedent. He hasn't played an NBA game in 2.5 years, he's coming off two of the worst injuries in basketball back-to-back, he's going to be 32 next month, and he's coming back to a team that, outside of Steph and Draymond(and Iggy I guess) is completely different from the one he left.
