Up at BaB! Spurs opponent preview including snazzy roster snapshot open.substack.com/chat/posts/2...

Matas Buzelis played 17 minutes tonight and sat the final 11 minutes of the game

Not today apparently!

Weird for Billy to use last timeout there with 12 seconds left. Score the quick two and then do it after more FTs

Lmao Donovan Mitchell passing out of easy layups and Tre Jones getting to the line every possession

Juggernaut Bulls clutch numbers coming @bullsjay.bsky.social

All Josh Giddey apology forms have been rescinded and his season will now be that defensive lowlight. It's not my rule it's the current culture.

Cavs start 2/16 from three. Somehow this is Billy Donovan's doing.

new post UP at BlogABull - nobody envisioned they'd luck their way into a 6-1 start, but the Bulls vision of Josh Giddey leading a meh team is coming to fruition www.blogabull.com/p/the-wins-h...

Though Bulls are not intentional with their plans and can't execute well, reason to believe they'd throw a max bag at Kessler this offseason even after this news. (he'll re-sign with the Jazz and Vuc will get another 2 year extension)

The clutch numbers are bozo nonsense and by all sense the Bulls should be .500 and likely will wind up with 37 wins regardless. BUT has to be acknowledged that through 7 games Josh Giddey has sustained his March and looks very good. I don't really get how he does it, but it's working

I present the updated NBA Clutch Stats. The Bulls have played 16 clutch minutes. Their defensive rating is 58.8. That is why they’re 6-1.

Bulls with a 24-25 special here. Get down by 20+ and watch the other team crash out hard while they make every 3 to come back.

I like to boost this near the start of every season. Here's how long before you can start trusting a team's stats, per @knarsu3.bsky.social. Some noteworthy ones: Offensive rating: 13 games Defensive rating: 16 games True shooting %: 12 games It's still early. fansided.com/2017/12/21/n...

Stein continuing to hype Vuc. He's never getting traded, as I wrote before the season www.blogabull.com/p/vuc-is-bul...

Most impressive thing about Josh Giddey's 32 pt 9 assist night: Zero turnovers.

The Bulls get into clutch time and become the Thunder every game.

The NBA Cup does provide some incentive to get your scrappy mid major-team on national TV. Their grandparents can watch them!

If Giddey is actually just going to be a 45% 3PT shooter now lmao I’ll gladly take the L on him if he keeps doing this

all these passes and Bulls only had two turnovers in the first half.

48 Minutes of Meh

Bulls defense at it again!

Are the Bulls back? I dove into how they're finding an unusual path to success on both ends of the floor, and how sustainable it is: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/chica...

Latest @zachlowenba.bsky.social podcast has Bulls hype. Zach is adjusting his priors and now thinking 45 wins. I am steadfastly refusing, maybe 20 games in But more important than actually being good is the *perception* that you're good. From Lowe's podcast to Giannis's future trade request.

@stephnoh.bsky.social has the cat video, I will create my Bulls win mascot "Smirking KC"

Another data point last night open.substack.com/pub/blogabul...

incredible note in here: Kevin Huerter has almost as many FTAs in 4 games as he did in 26 games with the Bulls last season

As much as the Kings can't expect to win giving up 126 to the Coby-less Bulls... If they hit league average percentage from three they would have won (and if that happened all season Bulls would be 0-4 lmao)

reminder we do not have to take Kendall Gill seriously (not should we expect to, he is literally paid to be a homer)

No separate game thread tonight, let's just use the comments in this here post: www.blogabull.com/p/the-zach-l...

didn't address this in the post but OF COURSE Zach LaVine will, and should, be booed tonight. He asked for a trade and faked injury! not entirely his fault, but Bulls fans dutifully boo management when they get the chance (and if they die, then boo their widow) www.blogabull.com/p/the-zach-l...

Listen, every party mentioned is a giant loser. But that does include Zach LaVine as an individual. www.blogabull.com/p/the-zach-l...

If the Bulls 3 opponents so far this season merely made *open* threes at league average rates, Chicago would be 0-3 but they didn't, whereas Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones are hitting everything, and the Bulls are 3-0 there's more to it than that, right? www.blogabull.com/p/the-bulls-...

Direct link to the 'no' case here bsky.app/profile/nbac...

so individually it's about Matas (ok, encouraging) and Giddey (ok, discouraging) the rest of the Bulls 'depth' is aspires-to-be-pretty-solid 5th-8th guy on a contender. Even Tre Jones - a pleasant surprise - is only important if the Bulls were either a contender or made trades with contenders.

there's a lot of mental gymnastics in deriving meaning from Bulls - and Bulls players - performance I'm trying to remain consistent in my goals (next contender) irrespective of AKME's (play-in home gate revenue) www.blogabull.com/p/the-bulls-...
