Re: PG: Not contenders right now
This schedule is crazy with off days. We already had a month stretch without 2 days off in a row. Now we are going from Jan 7 to the all star break in late February without 2 days off including 2 4 in 5 stretches. I get that this is partially due to the COVID break but damn, we have like 7-8 guys injured and we just have to keep playing every day or every other day

Re: PG: Not contenders right now
Caruso may legit be the most important player to this team right now. Without him, the team just does not play with that energy, effort, and intensity that make them successful.

Re: PG: Not contenders right now
I don't get the title of this thread. We're still in first place in the East. You don't think that makes us contenders??? Two bad losses, and we're ready to throw in the towel? This board does nothing if not to over-react.

He said not "right now." That seems not unreasonable, given that we're missing 6 players and just lost two games by a combined 66 points.

Both were embarrassing losses but agreed they are definitely still contenders. ESPN and all those so called “experts” like Stephen A found an opportunity to talk sht about the bulls but honestly they don’t know what they are talking about. At the end of the day it’s all opinions.

Re: PG: Not contenders right now
and green too, both those guys are extremely important for the energy on the court alone. workers tireless, relentless energy guys. they are sorely missed.Red8911 wrote:Bulliever2020 wrote:Caruso may legit be the most important player to this team right now.

our starters are sleepwalking, especially vuc. i'm sorry but i just don't like his demeanor on the court, slow lumbering big that needs to get his act together and play like he gives a damn. always a step slow on defense, so the other players must cover up and are not alle to get out to shooters because they have so much ground to cover from helping out in the middle.
he has a few games here and their, but most of the time i sit and watch him sulk or get frustrated and i can't help but starting to think we are better of without him.
i'd rather watch bradley, because i know he tries the best he can. vuc looks a lot like he doesn't even try and i can't stand that.

You've always felt this way about Zach so what is the point in going back and fourth about it. It's not like it'll change your MO

numbers ain't feelings, fella. the past season and a half, with zach elevating to elite scorer status, the team is NO BETTER with him on the floor
and it's 'forth'

Ok, I would agree- if the playoffs started tomorrow, we probably would not be contenders.

I don't think we are a championship contender right now but still a pretty good team. Bucks, Nets, and Philly are the best in the East when all is said and done. We are behind those teams with Miami.
