    the bulls have lost 12 of 13

    and

    their last 8 in a row

    1z3yzj6.jpg

    looking at the schedule

    outside of a fluke win

    they have maybe like 1 or 2 wins in december coming (if everybody takes care of business)

    2885paa.gif

    this year of watching the chicago bulls is like getting jumped into a gang though

    not that i wasnt already all in but im definitely here for life after this

    Hornets(they suck),Knicks,Magic,Jazz and Cavs games are winnable.

    and watching these young bulls>>>>>>>watching the half washed rose or iso jimmy no energy lose to bad teams bulls

    its rough and it should be but on the low im enjoying evaluating every player

    much more entertaining than waiting for jimmy to make something happen while waiting for an early playoff exit

    games vs elite teams like the spurs are games i want the bull to win

    the youngins need to experience victory against all odds for their confidence

    its the games vs

    atlanta
    dallas
    phoenix
    sacramento
    etc

    i dont mind a no show

    because a win for them is like 2 losses for the bulls

    The nuggets loss was demoralizing.I wanted them to win that game ,when lavine and niko return they'll still suck but have better chances to win

    + I think hawks will be the worst record in the league no matter what. They have no talent, if shroeder gets injured they might go on a 25 game losing streak and the players I'm targeting (porter jr, doncic, bagley) all will be available 2-4 regardless

    only thing demoralizing for me is if the bulls win

    the games i want to see them win are the minnesota games lol thats it -- i dont think ive ever wanted any of my teams to tank this hard before -- im literally mad at other teams for sucking so much -- but imagine if the bulls took malik monk 7th (like people were ? about out here) -- this season would really be even harder to watch

    bulls cant draft but they damn sure nailed their first meaningful top 10 pick

    last top 10 pick was rose (1) and the year prior noah (9)

    and this is in no way an endorsement of gar

    im just tired of seeing all the negative ? (thats not all that factual) this fanbase clings on to

    Jordan’s name has been mentioned in trade rumors for several weeks and, as one might expect, there isn’t a shortage of teams interested in him. According to sources, the Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards, Minnesota Timberwolves and Bucks have shown the most interest in Jordan. Sources said Clipper officials have targeted three Bucks in any deal for Jordan. One is John Henson, who is currently the team’s starting center, while the others are reigning Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon, who lost his starting spot when Bledsoe came aboard, and standout swingman Khris Middleton. The Clippers, I’ve been told, are adamant in acquiring at least two of the aforementioned Bucks and may even demand all three of them.


    bucks stay not playing as good as people expect

    If im the Bucks im not making that trade. I dont see how deandre makes the bucks any better.

    And if I do make the trade, id give up Henson and Brogdon but they not getting middleton.

    Bucks last in the nba in rebounding def/off/total 30th in all 3

    jordan needs to play with a great passer/playmaker to be effective offensively t wolves and bucks have neither

    chris paul had his ? ass making 1st team all nba and all star games

    I get all that, but Jordan will fix those problems but take away their greatest strength. The bucks' best player is a driver and cant shoot. Hes impossible to guard one on one but if you crowd the paint you can stop him. With Jordan out there itll be so much easier to crowd the paint against Giannis.

    Not saying Jordan wont be better than Henson but Jordan is gonna want the max to resign and hes not a long term fix for them.

    The Bucks need Thon to hurry up and develop, he was supposed to be a deep shooting center and thats exactly what they need.

    If you're the bucks who need shooters and are adding DJ why would you give up Middleton?

    Bucks biggest issue is dead last in 2nd chance points and are dead last in rebounding

    Thon been struggling he looked like he had next in the playoffs but he aint ready yet.Jason kidd sucks too

    also when jabari returns they'll have a rim protector behind him so I see why they'd be interested

    Snell has kind of made Middleton expendable

    They could have Middleton and Henson. Not Brogdon

    And I've noticed that the past year on Twitter

    Nobody ever just posts ? . Beat writers and team twitter accounts always gotta add a quip or some snarky thing to what they are saying or when in doubt, post something and then say "so there's that.."

    In this case it's this ? just trying to create narrative. I bet espn gonna post that embiid quote with some red faced emoji or some ?

    Hated how we played throughout but at least we got the win. S/O to Tatum with his 12th straight double figure game and being this consistent early on

    How is there a but. That's not his role. Dude ain't ever been asked to go get buckets. ? shooting 49% from three and 55 overall. Ain't no buts to that. Middleton might be close to his peak if he not at it already. He can't be your 2nd best player. 3rd is pushing it

    If they were healthy, Middleton would be their 3rd or 4th option so what are we saying?

    I'm saying exactly what I said. Snell's play makes him expendable. They need to tinker the roster

    He's no deal killer

    Found this quote about Noel.
    Why is ? Kleber starting over Nerlens Noel?

    Scruggs: My sources tell me that Nerlens Noel is not known as a hard worker.
    I cannot for the life of me understand that if a player decides to turn down a 4-year, $72 million contract to bet on himself getting a max deal why that player would not be in top shape and perform at a level the club has never seen.

    This should have been a career year for Noel. Now he is stuck on the bench with too many DNP-Coaches decision for a stat line.
    Even Shawn Bradley had a career when he was in his free-agent year and fooled Mark Cuban into giving him a seven year deal for $30.5 million back in August of 2001.

    Not Noel. Dude is in his own world. I'm told he doesn't have a sense of hard play and that's not going to fly with a head coach like Rick Carlisle who had to cut his teeth as a NBA player.

    Until Noel shows a better work ethic other players will get minutes. I just think we will see Noel traded. It's a shame because the club had high hopes for him when he came from Philly in a trade last year.
    And he can kiss his dreams of a max deal. He will regret passing on $72 million.

    This ? is getting kinda sad for both. From top 10 picks to not playing at all.

    ? up thing is Okafor was on his Rocky ? . Came in this year in great shape and it didn't even matter.
