They are definitely fun to watch again, vuc needs to step it up a little bit though, especially on the defensive end

They are going to be fun to watch, that’s for sure. That oop from Ball to Caruso was sick AF last night. My only issue with them is Vuc is really the only legit big man. They don’t have anyone who imo could slow down Embid, Gianis, Collins, Bam or Randle come playoffs. Yes I said Playoffs as I expect them to be a #4 or #5 seed in the East.

3-0

True story! I'm curious to see how they do against some of the better teams in the East.

Last night was the first time I’ve watched a Bulls game in years. Damn that was an exciting finish and the Bulls actually rose to the pressure.

I say they actually caved, they had way to many stupid plays in the 4th

They blew a 12 point lead that was down to a 2 point lead with less than a minute left in the game. They were able to hold on, I think they stepped up the D and got the win they almost gave away. It's easy for a new team to let that one slip away.

Wasn’t perfect but a win is a win

4-0?

12 of the next 13 games are all teams that made the playoffs last season. And the 1 that didn't is Golden State. Going to be a rough stretch. This will be the litmus test for how good of a team they actually are.

Facts!!!
They come out of the next 13 games at 7-6 or 6-7, its a success imo.

The Bulls of the last 5-6 years would have caved and lost that game by 12 after being up 12 in the 4th

I agree, but I also don’t think anyone of those teams would have been up by 12 in a game hahaha

yeah thenext couple games will be brutal…I honestly think this team would compete for a chip if a prime Noah was on the team, call me a homer but he just was that fun

DeRozan was so clutch last night. The Bulls are a ton of fun to watch. I think they can be a 5-6 seed in the East conservatively. Would still put Miami, Brooklyn, Milwaukee, and probably Philly ahead of them.

The crazy thing is that Lavine has started the games just flat out bad (having a couple crazy 2nd/3rd quarters). And Vooch has started the season just off. And they are still winning. Once those two are locked in, this team is going to start steam rolling. Defense and effort (mostly from the bench) is what has been winning them games, and if they can maintain that, this will be a scary team.

They have been up 8-12pts in the 4th last few years and blew the game.
Noah was a fucking beast, loved everything about him. Saw him during his playing days at a red light in front of my whse. Iirc he was in a Range Rover and I was next to him in one of my toys. He was by himself smoking a blunt and gave me a thumbs up lol.

Lets see how the whole Philly/Simmons and Brooklyn/Kyrie issues play out.

I'm going to the Bulls-Knicks game on Thursday for Joakim Noah night. This will be my first game back at the United Center since the Thibs/Rose/Jo/Deng/etc era (mostly because I moved away, I went to several games when they visited Phoenix when they were terrible). I haven't been this excited for a team since that era, so it's fitting.
