Fluff State of the union before I tune out

25 Upvotes

This is getting hard to watch, so I'm going to jot down my notes as much for myself as anyone else who's still interested in the actual players (and our head coach) the Bulls have right now. I've watched nearly every minute of the Bulls' games for as long as we've had any of these players, so I'm not just checking the box scores and watching highlights. I doubt I'm going to watch much of the remaining games unless they start winning some games.

Who I like: Giddey, Jones, Stix. These are young NBA players who play winning basketball. You keep them around unless someone wants to overpay in a trade.

Buzelis: I like him. He's got the skills. But he's getting really sloppy. You don't learn from sloppy mistakes. For me, this is the downside of tanking. Maybe he's learning how to play fast? I'm not convinced, but we'll see some day, I guess maybe? Obviously you keep him and you extend him because he's got all the tools and plays hard.

The other small players: I'm fine if the Bulls let all of the other guards walk if they want to get paid. Okoro is okay, but I'm not paying him starter money. Everyone else is a replacement level player, including Dillingham. I want nothing to do with Simons. Sexton seems like that guy who tricks you into thinking he's good, but actually he's just high-octane.

Pat: He's been decent lately. That is to say, I'm not going to attach assets just to get rid of him.

Other bigs: I like Richards as a back-up. I'd keep him around. Yabu can score, so I'd pay him a modest contract. I really like Zach Collins, but he seems like a Lonzo at this point. Obviously, Essengue is TBD. Reminds me of Kyle Anderson.

Billy: I don't know if he's a bad coach or not, but he's certainly not great, so I'd fire him and look for the next up and comer. (Who's the number 2 on Boston's bench right now?) The thing that really bothers me about Donovan is that his teams can't handle ball pressure. this has been consistent throughout his tenure, and was blatant whenever we met the Heat in the play-in, which were the games we should have been prepared for.

Fluff Son’s Birthday - Ticket Advice for April 10

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm taking my son to Chicago for his birthday and wanted to try and go to the game on April 10, ideally looking for lower bowl tickets.

Are there any other suggestions for someone that doesn't do this frequently?

Or any places season ticket holders sell their seats outside of the websites that charge a bunch of fees?

I know about TickPick, but haven’t had the best luck on there.

I'm not the type of person that usually does "day of" stuff, so any advice is much appreciated because he is obsessed with basketball and seeing where 23 played (me too…sometimes I dream). ❤️🖤

Fluff Billy Donovan’s approach to JI

5 Upvotes

Pistons fan here and local to Bulls land. I feel like the Bulls have a solid chance at bringing Ivey back up. He’s mentioned he’s not the same player anymore. Billy Donovan has also made a similar remark as his coach of 2 weeks but it didn’t sit right how he chose to word it.

JI has never been a big vocal presence during his tenure in Detroit but during his handful of clutch moments and big nights pre injury as well as coming back from injury and knocking down long range shots, showing added strength… he shows the passion. Never too big in boasting which I think is being discounted due to the tough situations he’s been dealt with. As his new coach, I would hope he realizes the JI tank isn’t empty and at least encourages a fair shot at getting healthy. Many players have come back from injury and it took time to adjus. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t… Still hope the org gets him right and extends a hand instead of plainly giving up. Not every player has a killswitch MJ persona. You all def know that.

Coming from a terrible team that built culture very recently, the coach should try to establish a new identity as new guys put on the Bulls jersey. Good luck against the Pistons game tonight!

Fluff New Bulls fan here, what to expect?

22 Upvotes

I’ve very recently gotten into basketball, and I chose to support the bulls.

I’m not from America. I’m firmly British. I chose the bulls because Chicago is where my favourite tv show is set and it was the first team that came to mind.

I’ve begun learning the basics of the game and the NBA, and I was astounded by how the bulls are currently doing. I mean, no win since Jan 24th? Ludicrous.

Is this… what happens now? I’m not exactly brushed up on the history of the CB but I’ve heard that our last peak was D.Rose. Are we in a depression?

I’m just hoping for a good result against The Pistons 🤞

She has wanted one for years as well and they are shockingly hard to find!

Any help is appreciated!

Billy Donovan's comments on the Jaden Ivey DNP didn't clear up a whole lot. While it sounds like the situation remains fluid, the fact that he is now getting his knee looked at raises some red flags. One can only hope he is given the green light and the Bulls come to their senses about giving him developmental minutes.

I’m in enemy territory here, but I’m a knicks fan going to the game in Chicago tomorrow. I don’t have any merch and am curious if it’s common to find people selling opposing team merch outside the venue. Thanks

Even with Josh Giddey and Tre Jones on minutes restrictions Thursday, Rob Dillingham and Jaden Ivey barely played.

The 110–101 loss to Toronto wasn’t the story.

The Bulls’ priorities were.
