They're losing to a team that's missing the second best player in the NBA and doesn't have another all star on the roster. Very SOLID.

Same problems as last year. Not a big deal yet but not what you want to see in the first game against a non-Kawhi Spurs team.

i really don't agree with starting Taj over Dieng

I don't really think Taj does anything better than Dieng

I didn't really like what I saw overall but realize it's only the first game and they need time to gel. I'm still very optimistic

Yep. Thibs as GM model is not proving to be all that successful.

Teague and Gibson signings were bad moves for a few reasons. They are drastically overpaid and they are bad fits as players.

He nows has 5 ball stoppers in his starting lineup. He could have Rose at a much cheaper price than Teague and Rose may turnout to be the better player.

Taj does nothing for you at this stage of the game either.

Last year he passed on Murray and drafted Dunn. I'm holding out hope for Dunn as a Bulls fan but at this point Murray has proved to be better.

The Butler trade may also come back and bite him in the ass too.

He essentially chucked the youth movement in order to guarantee a spot in the playoffs. They aren't a championship contender and won't be for the foreseeable future either.

he chucked the youth movement by trading Dunn ? (a bust)
Butler isn't 40
the core is Wiggins and Towns. they're young
I think Taj is more than fine in a backup role, but I hate to see him starting over Dieng.

NBA league pass investment paid off big time with this game! Great game from start to finish.

Lonzo Ball will be lucky to have Ricky Rubio's career.

2-2 after getting blown out at home last night. Home crowd booed them off the floor in the 4th. Really should be 1-3 and a case could be made that they should be 0-4. Early money but they may not be a 45 win team after all.

Butler didn't play

and they actually are 2-2. you don't get to make cases that their record should be different, long time hawk harrellson

Butler hasn't really been that good thus far.

You've already shown you have no idea how to judge if Butler is good or not.

"Cynic knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing".

Dunn will be a bust. Yeah, Tibs has leaned a bit too much getting Gibson (and he shouldn't be starting) but I actually saw Taj, in the post mind you, pass out of the double team two (2) times against the Jazz. So there's hope.

They lack a true true star. Wiggins and Towns are very good but they're not great (yet). If they were in the East, I'd say they'd challenge Cleveland. In the West, they'll get into the playoffs but I can't see much beyond that for the next few years.

And Teague is fine. I am the world's biggest irrational Rubio lover, but the kid just can't shoot consistently well.
