Lauri Markkanen...All-Star? All NBA?? MVP (vote(s))???



whoops, maybe not, too soon:

He will definitely be an All Star. Probably not All NBA and definitely not an MVP.

Luka's rating is 110. Durant's is 111 and they are MVP candidates.

Markannen has been so good offensively and rebounding that you have to make him an All Star at least.

Patrick Williams just got a big boy rebound and then hit a timeout inducing corner 3. Hot damn.

Lavigne tries so hard and sucks

Do good basketball teams, blow 21 point leads and lose to the Pacers, who by the way were missing Halliburton? Just Asking A Question.

Remember a few years ago when the score was hyperventilating about a new era in Bulls basketball LOL

True. They are a selfish team that tries to play together but really it's 'let me get mine' when the game is on the line.

Jonathan Isaac is finally back? He must have been hurt worse than Damar Hamlin.

Word was he was dead.

Yes they do.

Ike made a post about everybody hating Lavine. He might be right. I'd change the wording. They don't respect him.

Cowley has been all over him for awhile and he always keeps a source or 2 from within the organization. I'm sure they are feeding him inside stuff on Lavine.
My biggest issue is that Lavine and Derozan comport themselves as if they are superstar players and Donovan defers to them as if they are superstar players. In reality both are C Rate star players at best.

Good game. haha, just kidding. Outscored 24-7 to end the game. Too bad this isn't the Premier League where you can demote them. Maybe to the local bricklayers union. Maybe that's too good for them, four times in the 4th they didn't even catch iron. It was so bad, Mason Plumlee was schooling them.

Or to Brick's dinner parties. That'll teach 'em.

Watching the Buls since their beginning....no more blaming the ownership. management, coaching time to start blaming the players.

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

GarPax had become a punchline and had to go, but when is the current front office going to start feeling some heat for their shitty decisions and roster construction? Yesterday Joe O. said the current betting odds are 70% that the Bulls miss the playoffs. Completely unacceptable.

I think the wheels came off last night. It isn't like Charlotte played well. It's that the Bulls are in disarray.

It's hard to not have PG in the NBA. It's hard when you don't have a rim protector. It's hard when you can't control the glass night after night after night.

I think this experiment is over.

It's much worse when you don't have a coach who never holds his best players accountable for anything.

AK has to take some blame as well for the way he has constructed the roster. The team has lacked size for the past 2 seasons and he has done nothing to address that. They only have 2 true "bigs" between the 4 and 5 positions. Patrick Williams is really a 3 imo. If not then a "classic" tweener (though you here that term much these days in the era of "position less basketball"). Vuc and Drummond are the only big and Drummond doesn't play much if at all on most nights.
There are too many guards on the roster with none of them being PGs unless you count Ball, who may or not be dead.
The coach is also an issue. The biggest issue imo. Never holds Lavine or Derozan accountable for anything and has not made any key adjustments at any point this season. I'm sure that he has had a role in the construction of this roster too.

Do you basketball teams lose to the fucking Hornets at home!!! Just Asking A Question!

Yes they do!

pounded Hornets on the moneyline as an underdog

that's how you do it

They were slightly less awful than the Bulls. It was like watching a college game.

yea don't get me wrong. Betting on 2 scrub teams is scary. But the Bulls are a little bit worse

Wasn't Charlotte like 1-38 on 3's or something ? Honestly they should have won that game by 30

I'm still putting this on the players. Billy isn't doing anything glaringly wrong. Demar and Lavigne clearly don't mesh well on the court and that's been the biggest issue.
