He was very bad last night. That's one of the main reasons Detroit was able to come back so easily.

If he doesn't improve drastically he would be an all time bust. You cannot disagree with that. I can accept the excuse that he's playing poorly because he's hurt, but if it's so bad he can't shoot a jump shot then no, he isn't better than McConnell or anybody else on the roster. This is obvious.

The Paxson and Forman era doesn't get the luxury of claiming the success of the Krause and Phil era, sorry. And every single major success of the Paxson and Forman era occurred during Thibodeau's tenure.

The Cubs rebuild was only supported by fans due to having a competent owner and a very successful President and GM. If Hendry would have remained for the rebuild, how well do you think that would have went over? Zell only owned the team for a couple of years and fans were already rebelling.

Paxson and Forman no longer get the benefit of the doubt. They give out ludicrous contracts, they draft D-League failures in the first round, and they cannot evaluate talent (they admitted they didn't even have Jordan Bell rated as an NBA talent).

The Bulls made the playoffs prior to Thibs's arrival and Paxson supplied Thibodeau with what most experts considered to be one of the best rosters in the league.

Not correct. Amir Johnson had much more to do with that. He stinks and they are playing him because of the contract. Fultz hasn't looked like a No.1 overall but he has looked like he should be in there.

Fultz has ability. That's evident

Well, but pretty much everyone except you think he's been ineffective. I don't really know what else to say. What you're saying doesn't sync up with reality.

The same can be said about you with respect to Lauri Markannen.

I see some things that I like about Fultz but until he is able to shoot with range no one really knows what he will be. It's hard enough being a rookie anyway but a rookie with an injury is murder.

I like him and think he has a chance to be a really good shooting big man, but at the draft I was hoping for Dennis Smith at that spot.

_________________

I hate how they're looking for "shooters" and not "studs." First it was McDermont in 2014 or whatever which was an expensive pick that they ultimately gave away for nothing, and now with this guy. He may be all right but I want the focus to be on playmaking studs. Find those guys first then sign me a Korver or Danny Green or whatever as the shooter. Fuckin' Forman.

How dare you imply that Danny Green is not a stud.

Also, probably don't give away your 16th pick when it wasn't necessary to complete the deal. Don't sell your 38th pick either.

Lauri will eventually be a playmaking stud. Trust me.

This kid is looking like the steal of the draft

ok. none of them has looked better than this kid.

Dude is hot tonight though. Credit where credit is due. All the Bulls are hitting 3's. If Markkanen can shoot 83% from downtown for the remainder of the season, he may win ROTY.

Tatum looked awesome tonight on both ends of the court.

There's a chance this rookie class isn't bad.

Swanigan giving Portland some really good minutes tonight. He should be playing more than he is already.

Dennis Smith with a nice game in Dallas first win. 19 pts on 8/12 shooting to go along with 5 assits and only 1 turnover. he had missed a few of their games with injury.

Fox's first career start did not go well. 1/8 from the field, 4 boards, 5 assists 4 turnovers in a 30 pt loss.



Donovan Mitchell had his best game as a pro Saturday night.


Collins continues to be a steady around a double double ever game out.

_________________

terrible game for Dennis Smith last night, 1-7 from the field 1 assist and 5 turnovers. I guess he's a bust.

MANY people are stupid.

Wilbon isn't one of them in this case.
