After watching what the Bulls just did in Toronto, I’m not going to be ambiguous about Josh Giddey’s performance tonight.

Either Giddey creates advantages or he gets traded.

Debate time is over mate.

Read all about it!!!

NEW #CashConsiderations w/ @SBN_Ricky
on Bulls' season opener that was so bad we started recording midway through 4th.

- Caleb's debut...9 turnovers yikes!
- Giddey's worst game as a Bull? Possibly!
- Uh, Matas?
- Nowhere to go but up!

The great midrange debate wages on. Coach Painter gives his thoughts to Boilers In The Stands.

[Mike Herndon @MikeHerndonSk1]

It’s genuinely jarring to hear a pro athlete talk like a person and not a hostage reading a statement prepared by the comms department

[Dean Oliver @DeanO_Lytics]

Angel Reese's game log shows dramatic improvement beginning mid-August.

If you include playoffs, Reese has posted +75 total net points since August 17, second only to A'ja Wilson.

Much to GSV's chagrin.

The best & most effective way you can punish social media grifters is by "muting" their name & any related keywords.

Social media is like a fire, and your attention is the oxygen that feeds the fire.

Any kind of engagement (even hate tweets!!!) only fans the flames.

@doublej1334 the Bulls had an equal organizational context to help that player thrive in the league.

[Morris Bankston @mobanks10]

@doublej1334 The thing about Lauri is we have also factor in that his journey to becoming an NBA All-Star included playing on two more NBA teams after the Bulls, while also evolving into a SF.

I’m of the mindset that a former Bulls player thriving on another team doesn’t mean…

[Josh Sklare @doublej1334]

Agreed, i’d be ok trading matas if he doesn’t take the next step this season but i’m worried he goes somewhere else like lauri and dominates

[Duncan White @Duncan_White14]

@mobanks10 Thank god I get to watch Luka after this travesty

@mobanks10 Flipping between Wolves Heat and Hawks Magic rn

[Morris Bankston @mobanks10]

Man I’m finna turn off the Bulls and look at an NBA basketball game.

@Ball_InMyHand wellllll

[Drew Stevens @ByDrewStevens]

Josh Giddey had five assists in the first half, but went scoreless on just two shot attempts.

Against a defense that's been so effective at closing off driving lanes, the Bulls need someone who can consistently put pressure on the defense.

[Ross Pins @chisportsross]

Josh Giddey... what... are we doing? Looks off a wide open Hield and drives into a wall.

[Morris Bankston @mobanks10]

@GeorgeMioc25212 I don’t know if Miller faced any ball pressure in the preseason like the Raptors are bringing tonight.

[Morris Bankston @mobanks10]

There is a lot of Bulls roster construction work to be done by Bryson Graham.

There really should be no keepers on this roster besides Caleb.

[Morris Bankston @mobanks10]

I’m gonna tell my kids this is Serpico, played by Al Pacino.

I usually don’t agree with Mad Dog, but he didn’t tell one lie🔥

Good luck to our @NBA guys this season.

[Morris Bankston @mobanks10]

Compared to baseball and football, basketball is my favorite sport to watch because the game has the most varied contexts for how the game is played.

NBA and NCAA ball are different games.

FIBA is its own game.

The W is its own game. It’s a beautiful sport.
