There is no doubt that Jo is my favorite Bulls at least since the Jordan era, maybe ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Long story short is what we already know: With Ball-Lavine-Caruso-DeRozan-Vuc on the floor, the Bulls are scary. Take that away and it hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poeltl would be a nice get, but he doesn't solve the hole at PF and I doubt he can play with Vuc. Covington going to LA is kind of a bummer as I think he would fit in nicely here.

Good get as a backup C, but I don't think he fits as a PF or playing with Vuc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how much their tax bill is, you'd think they would buy one of them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Billy likes DJJ a lot and giving Vuc rest would result in more Good Vuc than Bad Vuc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Really like that Vucevic is stepping up recently. This is the guy that they thought they were getting from Orlando. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bulls get this Vuc come playoff time, they'll be a tough out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Holy shit Ayo.

chw42 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Vucevic had a huge game because the Pacers didn't have anyone over 6'8 to guard him. He needs to play well on Sunday against Embiid so Billy can coach at the all-star game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to see Billy try to exploit Vuc’s size mismatch more often and mix up how much he’s down low and up top playing passer. He is really skilled in the paint and not a lot of guys can stop him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played very well recently the biggest key is he's knocking down his threes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 I feel like this may be the first bulls team I can remember that hasn’t pit its vets vs rookies/young players. Obviously many of those teams were successful, but it is a pretty fun atmosphere when they are all embracing what the rookie can do and pushing him up vs out of the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
