Would be nice if Grant had a great game, prove he belongs as a starter in the NBA

Not sure that's at all accurate, unless you forgot the green font...

Philly is trying to get to the spot in the standings where the Bulls are now, so your "theory" comes up short. He is on a planned minutes and games restriction, and I'm fairly certain that the decision to sit him out had nothing to do with the Bulls current situation.

I think it's pretty clear he's the 3rd best pure point guard on the team behind MCW and Rondo, his skillset just meshes better with the starters. That being said, I'm still not sure I'd start (or play) Grant. This is despite the fact that both MCW and Rondo are closer to bottom tier starters / quality reserves.

Usually beating a bad team means nothing, but Bulls could really use a 'get well' game to re-establish some order and positivity.

Though I believe Philly upset someone even without Embiid so maybe not quite the cakewalk you'd think.

I know jerry doesn't want to be on the hook for 5 mill for 3 years with firing fred.

So here is a solution, fire fred, fire gar cut his salary off the books, and make John Paxson not only take a pay cut but also make him assume full responsibility of gm, to cover the cost of firing fred. It was there mistake, they should pay for it. Gar should just be gone.

It's really sad that fred is not gone yet.

Another game......another freak show??? I can't even say that I want the Bulls to win this game.....so crazy! Would we see major changes in this organization if we would get our a**** blown out couple more times? However, another long night in front of me.

If they lose to the Sixers without Embiid, after losing to the Heat without Whiteside and other starters, disastrous.

I'd be happy with 20 or more minutes, but I have my doubts that will happen.

Let's be honest, a loss here won't do anything. If getting beaten by the Heat after a public meltdown by our players didn't create the need for changes, nothing will.

The FO will cling to our guaranteed playoff spot in a laughable eastern conference as the shining example of their "success" this season. This team is officially in NBA hell.

I'd like to see Portis get some burn. His defense isn't great but he's not a bad shooter and lord knows we need some of that.

LMAO. Portis hasn't played in 3 weeks, so naturally, he starts tonight. Makes sense.
