Of course it will be another dbl-digit loss, but I still watch to spot progress. But Markkie is not being used right. Somebody give me the 411 on the Dunn/Lopez fricass. What was it about??? How soon will he be shipped to Houston? (Capella injured)




WTF is up with Boylyn? Is the motherfucker clueless?

And WHY would anybody root for the Bulls to lose AGAIN this season? We have talent. Even if we did draft a key player the team will still suck. Adding Jordan didn't do shit, remember? It took years of pounding the triangle and the addition of Scotty and Harvey that got us over the top. It takes years to make a squad a TEAM, not just one lucky draft.

BTW it's a free League Pass week.

Doing OK vs. the 2nd best team in the NBA.....for now.

I feel pretty comfortable in the bulls losing this one. Last I checked they were a game behind Cleveland for the worst record in the NBA, and seeing a recent exchange where the bulls couldn't sink a layup + 4 tip-ins in a row.gives.me.hope.for the future. This team sure seemed to play a.lot harder/better circa dec17/jan18 as opposed to one year later #ThankYouBoylen

Simple; the bulls, as currently constituted, don't have the raw thoroughbreds to take them to the promised land sometime down the road. Lauri can be a nice solid piece on a proper team, but as a #2/3 guy as opposed to THE (FUCKING) GUY (see: Butler, Jimmeh) -- LaVine seems to be the kind of player who can have a long/ish solid/ish NBA career putting up solid/ish #s on bad teams, and if Kris Dunn is one of your "big 3" then odds are you'll end up celebrating an 8 seed like the Timberbulls did last year. Ergo, the bulls need to acquire some kind of blue chip asset/s to hopefully become a top-10/ish #1/2 player on a championship contender. How are they gonna do that?

I'm pretty darn confident in believing that the bulls will be unable to lure a Kevin Durant type/caliber player via free agency, nor do I think they'll suddenly be able to come up with a way to trade for one short of "earning" a #1/2 pick and flipping it for a relative-scrap-heap super/star, so that essentially means your only way of attaining the type of super/star player/s you need is drafting one. Obviously, the best way to be able to do that is to lose as many games as possible and hope that the NBA once again decides to "reward" the bulls for bringing in quality #s/$$$ during the "lean years" whilst realizing that the NBA is at its best when the bulls, lakers, and knicks are relevant

I understand the core tenets of your stance; even if you have the best player in the world you're not going to win a championship with a total clown car around him... But poo-pooing the idea of bulking up on Jordans in favor of acquiring pippens and grants = essentially what the bulls have done for the last 15-20yrs. the most notable cases of this were getting boozer during the summer of "the decision" and eventually getting pau gasol instead of [whoever was the grand salami that offseason] -- nice solid ideas, especially on-paper/in-theory, but at the end of the day while constructing a 2004 pistons team feels all nice and proper you're gonna end up like the old Wendy's bag saying "where's the beef?" in a league that's always been about getting wangwhipped by BIG. BLACK. STUDS.

Can you honestly say that winning an additional 10-15 games and dropping from a top-3 pick to a ~#7-11 pick is going to be offset by, say, Zach LaVine getting a taste of winning and taking a few.more steps to becoming something more than, say, a lower-rent monta ellis? Or that Wendell is going to be on a.first name basis with America (the country) if he manages to rise up and do.his part to get these 18-19 bulls to 30something wins as opposed to, hopefully, ~20 or less?

You gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette, and seeing as I have no.hope.for this current bulls core to be any more than an 8th seed trophy type team, yeah, I'm rooting for them to get the shit kicked out of them in every game.from now until they get a bonafide thoroughbred blue chip "HOLY SHIT!" talent out there who could be the best player on a legit contender and THEN I'll look for in-season growth and results. But until.that happens rooting for a bulls win is like.rooting for another guaranteed year of NBA-hell-at-best and since you're gonna have to suck to acquire legit league-challenging-talent one way or another, you midaswell do it now/sooner as.opposed to later or (once again) half-assing "the process" and ending up.with a.relatively undertalented try-hard outfit that will entertain you throughout the winter but ultimately Peter out when they encounter legit NBA stars who drive home the existential lesson that the NBA is a star-driven league and without legit stars you're essentially masturbating in a whorehouse upholding the timeless sean.Connery quote "losers always whine about their best; winners go home and fuck the prom queen"

I think the whole organization is dead. I wish reinsdorph would sell and Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky would buy them. He would be a good leader.
