    white is legit. this team isn’t.

    losing to Charlotte, being down big late in the 4th to Memphis. Those are two teams who won’t clear 20 wins.

    Tonight will be a big test, Toronto for the home opener. If they want to be a playoff team they need to win these kind of games.

    Its crazy to think this but keeping the ball out of Lavine's hands to close out games might be the best route to take till he proves to not be a selfish fuck

    Hopefully this leads to wholesale changes in the front office and behind the bench

    :laugh:

    Heard this on a pod today, thought it had to be fake. How the fuck does this dude have an NBA coaching job? I guess the easy and maybe only answer is GarPax, but dear god he’s a dinosaur asshole.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.bu...bulls-time-clock-players-punch-in-out-2019-10

    Chicago Bulls head coach Jim Boylen has found an old-school, literal way to track his players' work.

    According to The Athletic's Darnell Mayberry, Boylen had a custom time clock made for the Bulls so players can punch in and out of work. The clock sits at the Bulls practice facility, near the weight room, is painted red and white and embroidered with "Chicago Bulls." Each player has a red-and-white time card with their name and the Bulls logo.

    They went out the way to push this narrative of playoffs or bust.

    it’s gonna be a big bust

    Bulls going from 22 terrible-looking wins to a playoff team was a ridiculous position for anyone to hold.

    I dunno if it was due to analysts doubling down after predicting the 2018-2019 would be a top offense (29th in the league), or that Markannen and Young are hipster-favorites, or “East is weak!,” or because the organization is legit paying reporters under the table to say nice things about them, but this team has “disaster” written all over it.

    media took its cue from the front office who was pumping the “playoff or bust” narrative. I don’t think any of the media really were locked and loaded on it happening because of the huge jump in wins it would take.

    Lavine isn't going to allow offense to be run at end of game situations. He's getting the ball and running iso.

    So put Coby in the game with him.

    That way when he eventually gets doubled/triple teamed he can get the ball to Coby and our offense wont die

    So boylan tossed the team under the bus today in the press pool meeting. Said coaches can't teach how a player preps for the game and can't teach effort. This ship is sunk...

    Pax is going to fire Boylen and hire his 6th full time head coach compared to 5 playoff series wins

    This team is so unlikable. Levine is infuriating to watch. Markkanen is fun in the rare occasion he’s healthy. Wendel disappears too much, although in his defense he rarely has plays run for him. Jury is still out on White but so far so good. Porter is fine I guess.

    That said I turned down tix to the company suite tonight before I realized the Lakers were in town. Now they’re gone. I messed up.

    11-0 run for the Lakers. Jim just watching it happen. Good coaching bro.


    It sounds like a Lakers home game at the united center.

    Some balding white dude named Caruso just took Lavines lunch and bossed him at the rim.

    Caruso is awesome. Loved watching him play in college. However I’m a bit surprised he’s been able to stick in the NBA

    He plays hard. 70% of the NBA half asses effort for the majority of the regular season. Case in point every bulls game this season.

    Greg Anthony is spot on about this bulls team.

    A heavy Iso team who isn’t good at Iso basketball.

    They want to shoot 35 3s and play like GS yet they run zero offense.

    The problem is - Most of those tickets are sold, just no one is showing up.

    Ownership DGAF about the latter

    Only way for the team to move forward is for the fans to quit giving a shit. Right now Colby White is the only player I’d be upset if they moved, everyone else should be looked at as trade pieces.

    I have no faith in ownership to get the next set of hires correct. Sure it will be great for Gar/Pax to move on. They lasted long past the expiration date. They style of rebuild never worked and the only reason we had a mini good run was the random luck of falling into Rose. Jerry has proven not to be a owner who goes out of his inner circle and his son has shown no desire to break from his dad or show any vision for the franchise. Its why I joked about BJ Armstrong being next to take the roles. Seeing is believing and believing they hire someone truly qualified is beyond the realm of possibility for myself.

    The Cowley article sounds like Pax would stick around Gar would be replaced.

    How incredibly stupid is this... Can you imagine them trying to pitch this to someone like Masai Ujiri? Fuck this ownership group.

    I think people got excited when they saw "change". But as long as Paxson and Jerry are involved, it's not good news.

    In Chicago this week and got two free tickets to the game on Thursday vs. the powerhouse Hornets. Big game.

    Never been to a Bulls game so I am actually excited despite the shitty matchup. Anything I should know/expect about going to a game in the United Center?
