Holmes ejected by the ref who looks a little like Gordon from Sesame St lol

Odds certainly stacked against Zion. Nobody has ever lost weight in a food capital like Nawlins

He will eat whatever he wants once he signs with the Knicks (probably)

Is Zion a Free Agent at the end of this season ???

I certainly hope not.

Has still only played 85 total games for us.

Tbh the refs have been trash this quarter, harsh ejection.

Jeebus, the way Barnes is shooting he might as well have been the original Splash Bro.

Speaking of splash bros the name Poole is further proof we’re living in the matrix

Next stop is trading for this guy.

Warriors 6-1 without Klay oh my.

It looks like he was wearing Jordan Poole's jersey today.

Your stanning for Simmons is cringeworthy.

"Look, over there!"

Na

ayton is I think

Restricted. Much like other things in this thread

Great to go 1-0 on this home stand, time to hit the road again

Unfortunately by the time Zion gets back we'll probably be 4-16 or something, and it's a long way back from there to crack the 40 wins probably needed to qualify for the play-in.

4-16 is a very specific time for Zion to return.

In an academic sense I'd be curious to know what we'd do in the event of qualifying for the play-in, as we owe our first to Charlotte, top-14 protected.

That first round pick is safe as houses. Devonté for two future second round picks is a good deal. Griffin is a genius....

Son of Skeletor can we have BI please

 

[MadMundy]

I'm honestly just glad that even when the Bulls have lost this season so far they've looked like they were in it until the very end, which can't be said for us at all the last 5 years. It shows that we have the team that can compete with absolutely every other squad in the NBA, yes I truly believe we can compete with any team and have a chance to win said game. I haven't been this excited about being a Bulls fan in so long, it's nice to see us being competitive again.

4-16 is a very specific time for Zion to return.

Specific or optimistic?

Let's just say that I don't expect our record in three weeks to look very healthy.

That first round pick is safe as houses. Devonté for two future second round picks is a good deal. Griffin is a genius....

Just wait until we collect on that Bulls 2024 2nd rounder we got for Lonzo. The master plan coming to fruition.

Great to go 1-0 on this home stand, time to hit the road again

Your schedule has been brutal.

Ours hasn't been too crash hot either. Obviously they're handicapping the true powerhouses of the league.

Son of Skeletor can we have BI please

I thought you said BMI there for a minute.

<insert Zion joke here>

Amazing reading in this Sarver report but this might be my fave;

When the Suns were recruiting free agent LaMarcus Aldridge in the summer of 2015, the team knew that Aldridge had young children in Texas and that playing near them was appealing. During the recruitment, Sarver remarked to two basketball operations staffers that the Suns needed to have local strippers impregnated by NBA players so those players would have children in the Phoenix area and feel obliged to be closer to them, giving the Suns a potential edge in free agency, the now-former staffers said.

The whole thing was quite the read.

Some of it was downright weird.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Interesting tidbits.

The top ranked offence through the first 8 games belongs to... the Philadelphia 76ers.

Also the Knicks have the 3rd rated offence... and the 25th rated defence. Tom Thibodeau doesn't like this.

 

[Slysh]

Demar DeRozan is currently 4th in the NBA with 27.0ppg.

So thats the back story of that IG model and the 7 Suns

Mad respect.

We have the Heat put us down for the L.

 

[Borough Blood]

Tatum can't buy a basket

Tatum can't buy a basket

Yet we've outscored them 26-7 in the 2nd lol.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Thus is absolutely the best quarter Boston have played this season so far, against an elite opponent on their home court. Can only hope it's sustainable for the rest of the game.
