I no nothing about his lockeroom abilities or what he has left in the tank - but if he still has any of his old skills left they are much needed help given the lack of front court depth on the squad.

He’s at least a big body w/ post season experience and 6 fouls to play against Embiid. Just Google his name. You'll get articles from People and E!. It's just weird that's what comes up when you search for a basketball player. At this point he's bigger as a celeb than as a basketball player. But if he can give us some rebounding and rim protection, I don't really see the problem. If he's a distraction, you cut him. Patrick Williams will be back in 4 weeks anyhow so who knows how much playing time Thompson will actually get. Edited February 17, 20224 yr by chw42
February 17, 20224 yr The Bulls just need to go play .500ish ball the rest of the way to get to 50 wins. I feel like that should be enough for them to avoid the play-in tournament.

Just don’t like that for a lockeroom that seems very tight and focused on the right things. I trust AK at this point, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

He did but Thompson is a much better player (although that's not saying much I know). He also played well tonight too. Edited February 17, 20224 yr by SoxAce
February 17, 20224 yr Man I can't wait till this team is whole again. Ayo, Coby, and Green are all starting right now, but they'll be getting bench minutes when everyone is healthy. That 2nd unit is probably going to be one of the best ones in the league. The silver lining to all the injuries is that Ayo and Coby have had the opportunity to develop.

Silver lining to having guys out is how these guys have all been developing and making big contributions. You feel good about any one of those three being in a closing lineup or playing crunch time minutes.

But Coach does that anyway.

He'll join an existing culture with strong leadership who will take him by the hand (figuratively) and point him in the right direction. Or drive him to O'Hare if he biffs up.

I mean anything is better than DeRozan running with Tony Bradley, Troy Brown, and Matt Thomas out there. The fact that he's scoring as much as he is with those guys on the court with him is crazy.
February 17, 20224 yr DeMar's historic scoring streak Good news on AC returning to action Signing Tristan Thompson, which means the east runs through Chicago (also, just an upgrade in every way over Bradley/McKinnie) Zach seems to be doing OK after docs checked him out Pat and Lonzo are both coming could come back in early-to-mid March. Bulls going into the break as the #1 seed despite everything. Everything's coming up Millhouse.
February 17, 20224 yr Portland has won 4 straight(beating Memphis and the Bucks btw) since trading off CJ/Powell/ Covington. Right now they're the 10 seed and in the play in tournament. How nice would it be if they snuck into the playoffs and the Bulls get the 15th pick in the draft?

I love this team but the Bulls have been pantsed by Philly multiple times this season and Milwaukee is right here too.

I'm making a joke about when Thompson said "the east still runs through Cleveland" after LeBron left. In reality, the Sixers scare the shit out of me.
February 17, 20224 yr FWIW in 9 games Tristan Thompson has held Embiid to "Just" 23/9. Harden could have a tough time with guards the Bulls can throw at him. I also think them losing Seth is gonna be an issue. That 2nd Philly game, Troy Brown, Malcolm Hill, and Matt Thomas combined for 78 minutes played because there was no Lavine/Coby/Ball/Caruso. Vuc wasn't playing like he's playing now in the first game against Philly Edited February 17, 20224 yr by scs787

February 17, 20224 yr So in the ESPN expert NBA MVP poll, the Bulls have won 5 straight, back to #1 in the East. DDR has gone on an unprecedented in NBA history streak, and somehow he has dropped from 6th to 7th .
