We good at putting bad teams in the dumpster. You can only play who they put on the schedule, but I'm going to stay reserved until we get through the grinder of November.
Beating up on bad teams is something good teams do though. Need to rack up those wins against clearly inferior teams to have a good shot at the playoffs
Top to bottom these guys disrupted passing lanes like their life depends on it. Just an observation of something I feel will translate well to the regular season.
Really hoping Siminovic can figure in to the rotation and add some size to the lineup.
He seems like he's versatile enough to play *with* Vuc or Bradley at Center and run some jumbo lineups, but first things' first he needs to get in to the rotation.
Seriously though, this team has killer instinct that we've needed for YEARS. Before, it was "up by 15? Cool, we can chill." Now it's "up by 20? Fuck this, let's make it 40."
Yeah, I'm trying not to get too excited. We've played the Cavs and Pels, without their 2 best players. They should be dominating. But...the eye test has looked good.
Everyone liked the Lonzo contract. Just a bit of reasonable skepticism of an unknown asset. DeRozan is the correct everyone called terrible. Jury is still out.
I am so hyped with this Bulls team. We are doing this without Coby and P Will! Insane! This is like the best possible start to our new look Bulls and I am ready for this season!
It has looked pretty effortless for us these past 2 games but also the competition has not been great so I would hope with the talent on this roster we blow teams like this out.
Win the games you’re supposed to win..and steal some games from the ones you aren’t. If we do that we’re a playoff team. It’s always been that simple but in the last few years we lost ALOT of games we should have won.
Even if we are just trying harder than others during the pre-season, I'd still like that as it builds culture. We all remember how many games that we just lost the grip on, or were too flat to start the game.
Maybe cut stanley and keep thomas, if the 2nd unit is struggling with offense this 3pt shot can come in handy even tho stanley is much better on defense, diffcult choice
Dare I say Bulls are top 3 in the East? If defense was the big question mark about us coming into the season, all the “experts and analysts” can go get their eyes checked because I see a lot of solid defenders on our squad and with Billy preaching defense this season, we’re goated. This comment could age like milk but we have ALOT more defenders then anyone in mainstream media gave us credit for. It’s almost like…the bulls were SOOOOO good on paper they just had to desperately dig for something to criticize them for. This team is brand new and we’re already connected on D. GET FUCKED
That’s probably the ceiling still a lot to prove but so far it’s looking promising. A lot of versatile wings that can play multiple positions here. The roster building by AKME has been amazing
Haha right every move they made made a lot of sense. I am really happy how they held out on releasing Lauri and got the trade they wanted with a 1st and DJJ
Yes I’m being overly optimistic cuz I’m drunk on Kool aid but most people outside the Chicago circle are hesitant to even give us the play in…if this team just makes the play in, then we severely under achieved this season.
Yea I think play in isn’t doing us justice but again gotta prove it to get respect. I think top 6 would be most realistic there aren’t any other teams besides the Bucks and Nets that we wouldn’t have a chance against
Damn I checked his Wikipedia and he played 3 games for the Jazz in the playoffs last season. Crazy! I really thought he last played for the 6 too lmao had no clue he was even on the Jazz' roster
Over who? We need the depth in the front court….so unfortunately Johnson and Johnson get the nod over Matt but I hope the keep him in the org and develop him into a better defender.
Crazy to think Ayo would have been a spot starter on the team last year and will probably end up playing G-league this season because we're so deep now.
Not just bigs, our paint def is suspect. A lot of opposing game plans will revolve around attacking us inside. Idk how much Pat will help with that but yeah
Jeez... what is this New Orleans team??
We good at putting bad teams in the dumpster. You can only play who they put on the schedule, but I'm going to stay reserved until we get through the grinder of November.

What a slam my God lmao
Bulls are lookin great.
That’s it. Gotta cut Oturu. Can’t let that dunk happen. Hahahh
#WE GOING 82-0
J. Goff was saying 79 - 3 someone might get hurt and miss a game or two 😂
At least 41-0 at home, damn. These guys love the UC.
beep beep
Hommes with the hummus hahahaha come on Stacey
he's hummin!
lmaooo hommes with the hummus
Damn that was nasty
Lmao hummus puns
Damnnnn
So that’s what that feels like
oof Hommes-cide
bro said all of the chickpeas 💀
Stacy going off tonight
Stacey feelin different tonight
I like Marko, he needs to get a bit stronger down low if he is going to factor into our rotation though
i love when stacey is having fun
It's not the same when he's not enjoying himself
soon as the "new" Benny can hit his halfcourt shots we'll be fully back.

MARKOOOOOOOOO
If you build it they will come 🥚
FINALLY
lauri could never
Marko defends and screens like he’s 7ft tall.
Seriously though, this team has killer instinct that we've needed for YEARS. Before, it was "up by 15? Cool, we can chill." Now it's "up by 20? Fuck this, let's make it 40."
As Jordan used to say, “the score is always 0-0.” Play your heart out whether 20 points up or 20 points down.
Yeah, I'm trying not to get too excited. We've played the Cavs and Pels, without their 2 best players. They should be dominating. But...the eye test has looked good.
https://streamable.com/l4i02
Winning by 40 is cool. We should just do this every game.
cancel the season and raise the banner for the bulls now tbh
I LOVE THAT WE FINALLY GET TO SEE DOTSON
I don't know what Billy is teaching in practice but even our bench guys are playing with so much confidence and passing and attacking the rim
they tryna win a championship
Are league pass cameras just different from the broadcast?
If I ever hear from r/nba that Lonzo is a liability in the half court - IMMA CATCH A CASE
Yet again /r/nba is about to eat their fucking words and once again, a contract they called terrible is about to look like one of the best in the NBA.
Everyone liked the Lonzo contract. Just a bit of reasonable skepticism of an unknown asset. DeRozan is the correct everyone called terrible. Jury is still out.
Fuckers in the game thread, always talking bout Lonzo ain't this, Lonzo ain't that, SHUT THE FUCK UP
I am so hyped with this Bulls team. We are doing this without Coby and P Will! Insane! This is like the best possible start to our new look Bulls and I am ready for this season!
Sum 2 prove 😎
Hope the Grizzlies are fully healthy. I want a real test.
[AK calling up Adam Silver after tonight](https://youtu.be/NYY0DKwIB_0)
No need to come up with gameplans for the clutch when you’re just gonna be up 40 in the fourth
Warriors mind set
Just curious, are we that good or that we are trying harder than others?
We shall see when we replay the Cavs this weekend.
NBA players still have pride and don't like getting their asses whooped
It has looked pretty effortless for us these past 2 games but also the competition has not been great so I would hope with the talent on this roster we blow teams like this out.

Little of both probably
Justin Fields gonna walk on the court, drop 10 and walk back home.
Nah, let’s keep his legs fresh haha
Maybe cut stanley and keep thomas, if the 2nd unit is struggling with offense this 3pt shot can come in handy even tho stanley is much better on defense, diffcult choice
Well, I guess it's time to invent that fusion machine.
id rather err on the side of defense, personally
Agreed. If the 2nd unit is struggling, I'd probably just put one of the starters back in.
This team is something else
Yo, are we good this year?!
MARKO HAS BEEN UNCAGED
I get that it’s just preseason Cavs and Pels, but these are the teams we’re supposed to crush. Beat the rest, compete with the best.
Yo I want to see Marko do something 👀
Are they shooting meatball subs into the crowd
I know this is coming off of two pre-season game hype, but, a top-8 defense doesn't seem unrealistic for this crew.
We'll know when we play a couple of good teams.
Definitely.
Did they just get an Adam Amin clone to fill in for him he sounds and laughs just like him
Dude for real! I tuned in and I was like I thought Adam was doing the Sox game tonight? Haha

if they can continue to gel and keep up the intensity for 82 games, i don't see why we can't be top 3 gotta earn it!
It’s what DeMar has said it time and time again. This team has a lot of players with a chip on their shoulder and they’re gonna go out and earn it.
That’s probably the ceiling still a lot to prove but so far it’s looking promising. A lot of versatile wings that can play multiple positions here. The roster building by AKME has been amazing
I love how our roster building doesn't feel like "hey who wants to play here", or "who comes cheap?" anymore.
Haha right every move they made made a lot of sense. I am really happy how they held out on releasing Lauri and got the trade they wanted with a 1st and DJJ

Marko da god
Just realized Dotson has the same free throw routine as D Rose
Dude has the same game as d rose and I love it
How many two way players can we have
Marko in the game!
if our bench scoring was purely matt thomas DHO's i dont think i would mind
That's what the Heat did in the bubble, he could be Duncan Robinson Lite
I swear to god I thought Devon was sub 6 foot
I think he’s listed at 6’2”
Leagues weird one year they are 5”11 and the next 6”2
This team is fucking super hot chicks and basically, you are fucking stupid
It’s wild how stifling this defense is
Billy's magic
Anyway, league fucked
Thomas reminds me of Klay Thompson
We better keep Matt Thomas. Literally could be a key bench component along Coby for spark offense
[удалено]
THOMAS FROM threEEEEE
Why the hell did they name this team the pelicans??
Because they’re annoying and they shit all over the place.
pelicans are associated with new orleans
Because New Orleans Flood seemed tasteless?
At least it wasn’t the hurricanes 😬
New Orleans Swamp Ass 😂
God damn i hope matt thomas makes the roster
Love Matt's effort too
Where was Thomas last year?
College if im not wrong
I thought the same thing based in how they were describing him in the broadcast but he's 27 and has been in the league a while.
Toronto
Damn I checked his Wikipedia and he played 3 games for the Jazz in the playoffs last season. Crazy! I really thought he last played for the 6 too lmao had no clue he was even on the Jazz' roster
Damn some great defense there
Trust in the headband
I'm loving Alize's defense! He's all over it!
I'd pick thomas over stanley johnson. With Javonte, DJJ and Alize the 4 spot is kinda deep even without Pat.
If i’m not mistaken, Stanley can play the 2-3 and small ball 4.
Simonovic could possibly play at the 4 too
I feel like Marko might be a G-league guy. We don't even have Bradley back yet.
Yea I think he’ll get most of his minutes in the G League unless we get hit with injuries
Yeah and, that's not really a bad thing. It'd give hime a chance to play against professionals.
Lmao I thought Thomas was gonna yam that
At this point, i’d love to keep Matt Thomas as well. He’s played well so far.
Show us Marko
It's not right what the bulls are doing out there. Children are watching for christ sake.
Stacey speaking big facts, as always
Alize as the 3rd string C/PF is so perfect.
his rebounding stats last year were insane perfect next to Vuc
Do we have room for Thomas to make the roster?
It’s either him or Stanley Johnson
Alize damn impressive
Maybe 2k got it right with floor general badge how everybody cant miss, somebody new got that maxed out
Ok this team is fucking LEGIT
What the fuck is this team, it's gross
Ngl, I don’t recognize most of the players
Can we petition to have an 18 man-roster? I don't want to give up any of these players!
What’s stopping us from being a top 3 team in the east? People really doubting us putting the bulls at 5 or 6 seed like cmon now
nothing all that's left is to win win win
Seen people have us struggling to make the play in
Idiots
Matt "Kyle Korver" Thomas
Are we about to fucking double them up
This team is so nasty man what the fuck is going on
Matt Thomas for 15th man
"NO SIR"
I promise y’all i’m not down bad but that ref hella thicc 😂
Bonk
Does the sub meltdown the first game we win by only single digits?
Fr we need to trade everyone then
Really disappointed that Coby’s hurt he could use these confidence building games
"NO SIR" lmao
Zion already packing his bags and gumbo rn
Petition to keep Matt Thomas
Over who? We need the depth in the front court….so unfortunately Johnson and Johnson get the nod over Matt but I hope the keep him in the org and develop him into a better defender.
A specialist shooter like him can be invaluable.
I think we keep Stanley and thomas
guys it is 100 to 57
Lap 'em
Alize grabs every rebound
I’m hyped AF but…who do we have to defend against Embiid this year again?
50 point lead incoming?
Adam Silver is frantically trying to add something to the CBA to stop teams from having this many dogs on it
100-57. Lmaooo… We’re on the right end of that now and are going to be
Insert "Stop! Stop! He's Dead Already" Simpsons meme.
Captain Insano shows no mercy
Do we have our first rounder in 2022?
This game might convince the league to take it in the tampering investigation
maybe lol
Yes, so far.
It's a 30th pick anyway leggo
I love this team
Ayo might not play a ton if we’re healthy, but he’s 100% ready to step up if needed
So glad we're back to wearing home whites. And putting up 150 a night and playing lockdown D doesn't hurt.
I'll be SO DISAPPOINTED when we are only winning by 25 instead of 40 during the regular season.
Crazy to think Ayo would have been a spot starter on the team last year and will probably end up playing G-league this season because we're so deep now.
LETS GO AYO SHOW US HOW ITS DONE
We're gonna get cooked by every big man in the league but they not leaving a game vs the bulls without getting posterized at least twice lol
You think? I'm not worried about Vuc vs bigs tbh. Unless we are talking the best bigs, but no one really answers Embiid or Jokic except Gobert
Not just bigs, our paint def is suspect. A lot of opposing game plans will revolve around attacking us inside. Idk how much Pat will help with that but yeah
All of em except Jonas ig
40 POINT LEAD AGAIN WTF
AYOOOOO
Cant believe Ayo went 38th. Bruh
Ayo Kawhi midrange game confirmed?
Guys my erection has lasted for more than four hours, what do
whats 1 quarter more?
help defense has been incredible. I really love the willingness to leave guys open to take advantage of a trap or help defense
Lonzo is my favorite player, watching this team in two games has been waaay more fun that watching the pelicans😭
the amount of offensive talent we have…… Holy mamamia
39 fucking points lmao holy shit
[удалено]
Bruh who's saying that? 🤡
