If they had an award for most improved team half way thru the season i'd nominate the bulls. They're like 15-7 in their last 22 games. People say it was a win-win for both teams involved in the Jimmy Butler trade but I think the bulls came out on top with Kris Dunn, Lauri, and Levine.

I was sad to see JC and Jr go but it had to be done. I just wish they would have been able to pry Brooklyn's pick instead of just Clevelands but can't have it all I suppose. I like the trade though if IT gets back to where he was last season down the stretch then Boston having our pick means it will be a late lottery pick instead of a top pick which makes me happy.

I'm just happy they seem to have a plan after all these years of just churning the mud.

Agreed, I mean I knew they were trying to trade JC and really this is good for both us and JC, I didn't see this trade coming.

Pretty crazy for someone as talented as IT to get traded so much. There were locker room rumors back in the Sacramento days. Must be true.

Yeah but if he doesn't work out its only for half a season and he comes off the books. I like him even if he can't play a lick of defense.

Yeah I think because he is normally such a ball dominant player that he was having a really hard time fitting in with another ball dominant player

This kind of feels like the year of injuries, Gordon Hayward goes down on day one, then we lose Demarcus Cousins, Kristaps Porzingiis, Jimmy Butler, kawhi been out all season long, I hope Houston can stay healthy and give Golden State a run for their money.

I'm surprised Kyle Lowry hasn't had any injuries yet. I'm sure he will just in time for the playoffs.

Bulls got a warning for resting healthy players. NBA is not taking tanking lightly .

This is such a bullshit situation.

The fucking jersey says "Bulls" or "Chicago"

It doesn't list the names of the team's all-stars on the jersey.

A team should be able to rest any professional basketball player they want, as long as they have another professional basketball player to take his place.

The whole "I paid a lot of money for these tickets to take my son to see [insert player here]" is such a garbage bunch of whining from entitled fans who demand a championship but don't mind if their stars harm themselves on the way there. They are shitty fans that no team should care about losing.

Then the NBA shouldn't be able to charge more money for the Marquee match ups. :noclue:

Until the NBA charges a flat fee throughout the season, I think the "I paid a lot of money" complaint is justified.

Yeah, and for the coaches it's pretty shit too. Coaching your team to lose?? :no:


As a fan, I'd be pissed about attending a game and watching the players intentionally play below their ability.
