Another Disappointing Bulls Season

Grizzled · Fri Dec 30, 2022 10:07 am

2 victories over top teams Boston, Milwaukee, and Miami. Then absolutely abysmal losses to the worst teams in the league. Time to blow this mess up and start over, which isn't looking good for the GM and coach, who they just re-upped.

Reinsdorf and Krause fucked that franchise but good.

More than 25 years since the Jordan Era. Nothing to show for it.

The Bulls should've been a magnet to every talent out there but the reputation got out after that POS Krause broke up the team. Then it was the way they did it.

How many failed attempts at a rebuild?

Curry and Chandler
Baby Bulls
D-Rose
Then last year.

This is another team, like the Bears, that'll only succeed out of pure luck until new ownership is in place.

Yeah, I think, just like the 'Hawks didn't find success under the old man, the Bulls need a new owner. Just not Elon Musk ....

The makeup of this team is just kind of strange. The 2 alphas just don't seem to jive together. Does the absence of Ball hurt them that much? Levine and DeRozan seem to be allergic to defense. Vuc is just too inconsistent as is Williams.

This team can't defend nor rebound. The coaching isn't cutting it. Major changes needed, maybe the dreaded teardown and rebuild. If so, I don't know if the current management will survive.

Trade deadline Feb. 9. Any pools on how many guys get dealt? I'm voting for 'alot' but didn't they do a rebuild 2 years ago?

Otis Day · Wed Feb 01, 2023 2:00 pm

Yes, they have been in a rebuild. They can get rid of LaVine and that might be addition by subtraction. maybe that will open up things a little for Williams and if LaVine can bring in a mid range scorer I think that would help. Let DeMar be the alpha.

I wonder if we'll get much back for LaVine, but yeah--just getting him off the roster should improve things. I don't hate him, but he's the least aware "star" I've ever seen. Every time he gets the ball, it feels like the offense takes a microsecond's little intermission before Act II: The LaVining. And that's the good part. Kids might be reading this, so I won't comment on his defense.

Turns out the most important player in that whole rebuild is the one who might never play again. Put that on AKME's gravestone.

The Bulls along with the Cavs were the only teams to make no moves at the trade deadline. So much for this team this year. If by some miracle they make the playoffs, it will be a quick one-and-done.

It's amazing how Jerry Reinsdorf turns executives into clones of each other. Karnisovas and Kenny Williams grew up seven years and 6,000 miles from each other, but as team execs they're twins.

Not Bulls related but I liked this. LeBron sat out the game Saturday night with an ankle injury, on the bench in street clothes and sat next to a fan, who reacts as one would expect:

Lorenzo Ball has been officially shut down for the rest of the year. Wonder if they'll cut him in the offseason. I had my right knee scoped, also with what was thought to be a minor meniscus tear, it was 3 years before the knee felt normal again.

Was there a new diagnosis?

No, he just has no mobility, can't run, cut, etc.

Mine was back in '96. Afterwards, the surgeon said he took out more meniscus than originally thought to be necessary once he got in there and also cleaned up some "floaters". He wasn't the most communicative guy, I just waited it out.
