2026/27 Bulls Regular Season Thread

[Outshined_One]

Tip-off tonight in Toronto.

Hey, maybe they won't suck this year!

[Irrelevant Dude]

I tried.  It is 4 minutes into the 1st quarter of the 1st game and I am already bored.

Nice start down 20 early

I don't know if or when the Bulls will be relevant again.

It's sad. They were my favorite thing ever in the 90's, especially the second threepeat (which was while I was in college). Now I couldn't give two loose sh!ts about them

[Tryptamine]

Even with not much for expectations this game is severely disappointing.

Caleb Wilson a -42 (so far) lol

Being outplayed by a vastly inferior rookie in Toronto’ Graves.  It’s embarrassing.

[Tryptamine]

9 TOs for Caleb, ouch

Quite a few were a result of trying to do too much.  You could see the frustration.

Bulls saw how the Blackhawks started their season in Vegas and said, "Hold my beer."

4/32 from 3pm range tonight... 

 

I just googled the worst plus minus ever in an NBA game. Apparently, Wilson's -45 isn't even close to the worst THIS YEAR. Cody Williams had a -60 back in January. How is that even possible?

Giddy was brutal. Buzelis looked like he had no energy. In a 43 point loss, Patrick Williams got 0 minutes. How do you have 27 turnovers?!

Toronto's defense was swarming. Very few open shots, and the Bulls missed most of those. Will Claxton provide any rebounding improvements, because the rebound battle was uglier than the final score?

Im going to the game Friday in Milwaukee.  It got moved up to 3pm because of the World Series.  Now I have to take a half day from work to watch this horsefeathers

[Wilson A2000]

Hopefully the Bulls have the right GM and coach and some of the right pieces in Buzelis and Wilson, but this year is going to be rough and we don’t have Stacey King there to make it interesting.

Yet, the Bulls out rebounded them on the offensive and defensive glass,  How the hell did that happen?

What?! I only watched the first half, but every missed shot by the Bulls was rebounded by the Hornets, and the only shots the Hornets missed were also rebounded by the Hornets. There was one series where the Hornets missed about 4 straight shots in the first quarter, all rebounded and shot again by the Hornets, including a made shot at the end.

A friend of mine said it was the worst in NBA history for a single game. Bang-up start to the season!

When the game has evolved to a "dunk and chuck" offense, you better be good at chucking and rebounding. Bulls apparently suck at both. 

Bulls only outrebounded the Raptors by one, btw

I miss Stacey!
