I know it’s early, so I’ll reserve some of my joy, but this years Bulls team has been really fun to watch. Last night was a really close game until they pulled away in the forth. Go Bulls!

Re: this is a basketball thread
Warriors are back and fun. Curry is the best and the scrappy role players we've been developing (Looney, Poole, Lee, GP2) are all playing above their contract level. We actually got good vets/vet min contracts this year (Iguodala, Bjelica, Porter Jr.).
I think most Warriors fans would rather have Klay back than compete for a title. He's so much fun.
My projection is that we'll be a very tough out in the playoffs this year. And there's still room for growth on the roster.
The NBA in general has been excellent this year.

OKC just lost by 73 points, 152-79! Highest margin of victory in an NBA game.

Yeah. I am definitely here for this Bulls Renaissance. Been a long time coming. I was in Modena over the weekend and started chatting up this British couple at a balsamic vinegar tasting. Turns out he is going to Chicago this month and was super excited to tell me that he already has his Bulls tickets lined up.

Re: this is a basketball thread
Damnit, I wish I could watch this game.
I can't get through 10 minutes. I do not like what I'm seeing and I completely lose interest. It's, for me, like I'm at a shitty circus in 1993 watching a bad Harlem Globetrotters team in exhibition.
What's wrong with me now? Is it the game, or did I just lose interest? I loved the game just a short time ago.

Re: this is a basketball thread
Here's a story from one month ago:
https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/bulls-join-ranks-nba-teams-reach-full-vaccination-status
I know multiple players have been out due to health and safety protocols, which I assumed meant that they were in contact with someone that had tested positive for COVID. Apparently this isn't the case???

Yesterday: https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/bulls-demar-derozan-to-miss-multiple-games-in-health-protocols/2702179/
Cannot find any source definitively saying that DeRozan has COVID-19, but I have not found any that say he definitely doesn't.
How could the entire team be vaccinated yet about 1/3 of the team has caught the virus so far this season?

Re: this is a basketball thread
Breakthrough cases are quite common when you play in arenas with thousands of fans every night and immunity wanes over months.
Most of the Bulls got COVID because Vuc got it from Embiid and passed it to the team. Vucevic guarded Embiid the night before he went into the protocols.

Re: this is a basketball thread
i really wish the guy who invented this board was still here, what was his name again? It was some kind of cool super hero once you looked into it.
and sausage was always, always the best guy on the board: while being clever and still being cool.
i liked montana and little jess a lot.
i actually saw some girls website once and it was crazy bondage and shit! she was soooo cool. that was when i was here and nobody knew. i tried to go back to the site, but it was gone.

Y'all should make like the Warriors and be 21-4 with the MVP and no COVID!
I don't think we're winning the title fwiw.

Re: this is a basketball thread
I think the Suns are a great matchup against us and have a bit more veteran savvy throughout the roster. Jazz could also be very tough.
I'm worried about trusting guys like Poole, GP2, Kuminga, and JTA come playoffs. I think Rusty Klay and Won't Shoot Draymond may have a few holes in their game which will be exposed.
Still possible we find another gear though. Happy the Bulls have something cooking as well.

Thank god they postponed a few games for the Bulls. This’ll work out in two ways, we’ll get a couple guys back for the next game and give Caruso some extra rest for that hamstring.

Nah. I could see them going to reduced fan capacity or no fans in many leagues. Possibly even taking a week off to let positive tests come back negative. Especially for those not showing symptoms and in good health - which seems to be several key players.
We learned last time a total shutdown of the economy and locking us all down won’t be that effective and really the economy can’t take it.

Re: this is a basketball thread
Also, NFL now rolling out new testing rules. Fully vaccinated players showing no symptoms do not need to be tested. Which is something that makes sense to me. Guessing other leagues will follow.
