Watching bulls preseason game on TV just now. I'm not used to not hearing his color commentary. It just doesn't feel right. 😢

2-2 from three and hit one to take the lead!

I wonder if him not coming in until halfway through the third means he might not have a big rotation presence, but i still have hope

1. Splitter was able to do impressively in his first season coaching and with this young group I’m excited to see what he is able to do.
2. Awaka looked crazy impressive in his short spell but he needs to keep fouls in check
3. Wilson had a great game and seems to fit well. If he continues in that vein and continues improving I don’t think Rookie of the Year is impossible
4. The team did have issues with the turnovers but it’s the first game of preseason and the turnovers were much more prevalent in the first half so I’m not super concerned about that for now.
5. Despite the strength in the east I could see us getting 50-55 wins and getting in the play in.
6. What do you think?

Edit: my bad it’s 4:10am in the uk I meant 40-45

Pretty interesting comments from Matas on how different things feel now. He called last season “extremely hard” and said:

“There was no type of rhythm. We didn’t know who was playing. We didn’t know how we were going to play.”

Then on this year: “Now, there is going to be more structure. Everyone is in a role. And you know what you’re going to get every night.”

Admittedly inflammatory title, but has anyone else watching tonight’s game noticed how much Robbie keeps talking about every player’s body? 😂😂

I get that the Bulls have lots of young, thin guys who need to add weight, so I didn’t think anything of it at first. But Robbie Hummel just cannot stop talking about how much muscle every single player has put on, and how well put together they are. He’s brought it up like 10 times, and he sounds genuinely in awe every time. It’s honestly how I’d probably sound if I was courtside with these 6’6”-7’0” demigods. It’s preseason for everyone I guess, lol.

There’s almost too much change to track in Chicago.

The makeover of the front office and coaching staff. The selection of a potential future franchise face in Caleb Wilson. The clear pivot in direction, a pronounced embrace of a more conventional rebuild. Welcomed changes, surely, after trying to maintain a competitive facade for multiple seasons.

Chicago Bulls fans, no matter how distant the results might be, have a future to look forward to.

That all starts to unfold on the court this week.

Here are five things we’re monitoring as the Bulls tip off their preseason slate at home Wednesday against the Phoenix Sun.

Seems like a really good dude! They definitely made the right choice doing the rotating analyst this season.
