Bulls an impressive 6-23 from 3.

But, P. Williams on pace for 12pts, 0 rebs and 26 min.

Sweet Jesus.

And the lineup that had him and Pritchard on the court gave up a huge run early in the 4th. That’s going to be their problem. Great top 6. Will have to play some rough lineups with the lack of depth beyond that.

And at some point Horford has to age. If it’s this year that’s a problem for them.

Time for Dallas to get OMax on tbe floor.  They're not a good defensive team.

It's time for the Bulls to tank.  That team is an utter disaster.

Not going to happen. If you haven't noticed, Zach Lavine only wins in the NBA. I don't think he has ever missed the playoffs and he will elevate this team to success.

I agree. No point. Even if a fan was excited about it, they would never admit it for fear of being made fun of.

The NBA players have made it abundantly clear the regular season is pointless.

But according to Richard Jefferson when he played for the Spurs they were obsessed about "winning every game".  When they lost there was "total silence" on the team bus.  I suppose this was one of the years when they didn't load manage.

Wembanyama has a nice couple minutes to give Spurs the lead. Then Pop just has him standing in the corner as a floor-spreader while other Spurs force it inside and keep losing the ball.

Pop obviously knows more ball than all of us put together, but that was curious strategy.

Ya...get Wemby touches and on the move.  the kid will be fine but there's a bit of a learning curve.

The Bulls had a "players only" meeting after game 1. LOL.

It appears your declaration of "utter disaster" is correct. Perhaps the continuity strategy was incorrect. Maybe the Bulls are more of the definition of 'Insanity'; doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.

Meanwhile, boring #2 overall pick Brandon Miller scored 8 key points down the stretch to help the Hornets actually win their opener.

Unlike the Panthers, at least the Hornets can't go winless this season!
