    The Bulls just aren’t very talented. It isn’t an X’s or O’s thing, they just legit do not have the players to keep up imo.

    We’ve seen enough. DeRozan, LaVine and Vucevic don’t fit together. Lonzo Ball was the key that unlocked the puzzle. With him shelved, we just have three primary players that don’t compliment each other.

    Nothing’s gonna change. We’ll continue to be a team that scores when our shooters are hot, but can’t guard anyone. We’re not a playoff team. Adding Torrey Craig this offseason wasn’t the answer to the existential problem this team faces.

      Even at their peak with ball, they lost to every contender. They were never better than a first round exit and now they’re a play in team.

    A lot think this is the Bulls underestimating how good OKC is and that they think they “shouldn’t lose to a team like this” but I think it’s blatantly evident it’s a team who heard all offseason that it was time to blow it up, ran it back because they believed still had a strong enough roster to make the playoffs, then not only do you get blown out at home to start the year, but team chemistry looks completely out of whack (which you might expect to happen with the new guys but this was happening in the LaVine-DeRozan-Vucevic minutes).

    It’s really difficult to watch a game - the first game of the season no less - and come away thinking “there’s nothing to be excited/optimistic about” but the Bulls did came as close as possible to that last night

      Agreed, this is not about Okc. It’s about being in the exact same spot as last season.

    Its like the Bulls do this on purpose. Players meeting after 1 game. Its obvious the Bulls will have to rebuild but the 1st thing to rebuild is management.
