  1. Now I know why I've been seeing so many Yankee fans around town. They just finished up a series on the south side and now have 3 on the north. Pretty cool.
  2. Kylerman is a good player when he's on the field. I'm not giving up hope on him yet.
  3. Mangiapane does mean "eat bread". That much I agree with.
  4. All while the guy I and many others wanted at 15, Cameron Carr, has been shooting the lights out. Summer League often means nothing (Denzel Valentine MVP, Jalen Brunson LVP), but I am super concerned about Swain. Hell, the undrafted guys (Sellers, Awaka, a third guy I'm forgetting but has shot it well) look like they might become useful at some point. I still have some hope for Swain, but you've got to be sure about drafting a guy who hasn't been able to prove he can shoot.
  5. Same. You can tell Caleb has got *it*, but the rest of the team has not looked great. There seems to be a lid on the rim for all of Swain's drives. Hopefully those eventually start to drop.
  6. He already looks like a totally polished player on the offensive side. Very confident and comfortable handling the ball and his 3 pointer looks pure. He seems to play more like a wing on offense. I remember watching his college highlights and thinking he looks like a fish in water playing basketball. It's so great that we Bulls fans have a legit reason to be excited. We appear to have been truly blessed from the lottery gods.
  7. Suck it, Belgium. Nobody should feel badly about that red card being overturned.
  8. I think the Bulls might have landed themselves a couple of real studs in the draft. Give the new guy some space and let him cook.
  9. Curry, Lebron, Draymond, Yaxel, 'Zinger, AD....... Got some serious injury risks but this is probably their best chance to make one more run at it with Steph. This should be plenty entertaining, already can't wait for the season.
  10. I'm the only one brave enough to say it: Horse feather the Brewers!
  11. I would have, but am biased as an Illini fan. Last year Christian Braun got 5/$125 and I think Ayo is better. Make the call, Bob.
  12. I kind of wanted Carr but have really liked the tape of Swain. He plays with an edge and physicality, have seen some Jimmy Butler comps. PWill just doesn't have that dog in him like I think Swain does.
  13. I've seen reaction all over the place on this deal. I think Milwaukee made out pretty well; the Giannis thing has run its course. They won a championship, which is awesome for them, but haven't done anything since then and Giannis keeps getting hurt. This trade is basically a fresh start. Being a Bulls fan, I was hoping it would go terribly and continue to be drawn out, but they moved on pretty cleanly I think. Ryen Russillo especially trashed the deal from MKE's perspective. I think Giannis is going to like living in Miami but I don't see them as a contender unless they are able to add some serious talent, particularly some shooting.
  14. The Bulls have the chance to be serious with new leadership. Splitter is a very good hire.
  15. I think Boozer is going to be awesome. In fact I have seen him creeping up on draft boards; I think I'd take him over Peterson, not sure about over Wilson though. Thank god Kendall Gill isn't making this choice.
