Favorite Xmas game this year :thumb:
Mine too. That 1st q was perfect bball. I didn't mind seeing the Bucks defense in flames either. :agree:
I've seen their defense collapse badly a few times this season, but agree that was pretty crazy!

I have no idea what Masai Ujiri is planning to do. I read recently that for now he's observing how the new coach and new system is going and how guys are adapting or not adapting.
I just read that OG is going to the Knicks along with Malachi Flynn and Precious Achiuwa! :yikes:
We're getting R.J. Barrett, Emmanuel Quickly and draft pick or picks..

Wow, was not expecting this news today.

(I don't usually quite myself but this news really surprised me today )
I did not see this trade coming at all. Hopefully a great haul for you guys, Artemis!

I hope so! I'm expecting to hear about a Siakam trade soon.

It's only a few games but this trade between the Knicks abd Raptors is lookinh good so far,

Great win for the Knicks last night! Jalen Brunson, Heartenstein - awesome! I don't watch many Knicks games but last night they looked impressive. 3 Ws in a row since OG joined them.


The Raps vs Kings was exciting! We lost but, good effort all the way to the end.

So tragic about Dejan Milojević too....I can't imagine how hard that's got to be on the team and feel awful for his family.

The team is frustrating because they can obviously play well and play together they went to the WCF with basically this same group. But it is what it is we'll see if they gel or not and make the play in, I don't see them getting into the top 6 unless they go on a hellacious run.

Any other potential big trades we see coming?

I have no faith in the Bulls pulling off anything at this point with Zach's season-ending surgery now. I could potentially see Andre Drummond or Alex Caruso getting moved, but I can also see them staying for the play-in continuity....Oof.

I'm not sure if it would be considered a big trade but there's interest in Bruce Brown. For sure he wants out from the Raptors. :lol:

It's not looking so great for your Bulls again this year. I would love it if Demar got traded to a contending team.

Since my team is in rebuild mode, I've jumped on the Knicks bandwagon. They've been really exciting to watch and I'm happy that OG has been such a great fit. One thing that makes me laugh is how surprised Knicks fans and media is about how good OG is and what he has to offer. Now Precious has been doing well too.

Oh, and Pascal is doing well with the Pacers.

I just read that Utah has been asking about Bruce Brown tonight, so who knows as the deadline approaches!

No, it's absolutely not. At best they get a play-in spot, and we have ownership that is perfectly fine with that as long as they sell tickets. I would love for DeMar to go to a contending team too, but I doubt it's going to happen. The only person I could see getting traded still is Andre Drummond.

Agreed it's been nice to see OG fit in so well with that unit. I haven't understood the surprise either, as he's been a bright spot with you guys for a good while now. Us Bulls fans joked that Thibs got excited when he caught the smell of "fresh knees" coming to the Knicks. :lol:

Yeah, unless something out of left field happens, I think Pascal will resign in Indiana.

:nod: But it's the way they are doing it. Yesterday's massacre was the first time in NBA history a team has beaten teams 3 times by 50 or more. Basically, unbeatable at home.... :banana:
