Preseason Discussion Thread and Gameday Talk

[Enasic]

Doug is gonna be a weapon this year. Obviously, the injury and a bit of jitters/short leash from Thibs held him back last season. He's stronger this year, has a ton of confidence, and his shot and his overall game has returned. I predicted him to win 6th man of the year before the pre-season and I'm sticking to it. It's disappointing Snell is still playing without testicles, though.

Bulls are going to lead the league in 3PA this year. Let if fly!

 

[Probie2429]

Golden State will still shoot the most 3s.

Doug is like top 15 in preseason scoring so far. Don't expect nearly as much success in the regular season, but nice to see that he'll at least have some confidence going into the season. Longer leash and free reign to let it fly from 3 should give us something.

https://youtu.be/3mw4sOsoDLg Hey guys, I made a video on my YouTube channel discussing this game after it ended, which I do on a regular basis, hopefully anyway, (oh, also you can catch me live on my YouTube channel during each game at half-time and post-game immediately after each game is over, talking about the game)
Just click on the video that will have written next to it, "live," on the Home Page of my YouTube channel.
Anyway, my point is, about this game, we beat an inferior team, but, don't get super happy, because they were a bad team. We did what we were supposed to do, knock down open shots. Big whoop I'm not a hater, I love this Bulls team. But, I'm angry at the management, because they're putting an inferior product out there year after year. Not making a trade this off-season for example. And probably won't make one before the deadline as well. Anyway, I get into that more on my YouTube channel. But, as for today, we played a worse team, and beat them, good job (sarcastic, slighty ).... But, I'm happy, we have a good team, just not a legit team to win the championship, but, we took care of business today, good job to them, amen peace

So what trade would have made this product less inferior?

Pretty cool little tool to evaluate individual players. Cant say that I disagree: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/carmelo/#kirk-hinrich

How is the Pelican's bench? I think we can win if we get the bench-mob going tonight.

Bairstow's defense on Ryan Anderson :smh:

 

[Raskolnikov]

Cut him, sign Baron Davis and shore up that point guard depth.

 

[Axl Rose]

Cut him, sign Baron Davis and shore up that point guard depth.

Baron Davis is about as useful as Barstool

i hope Fred is just being generous and letting the kid play before his ass is planted on the bench all season and is not a player he actually likes....somebody on realgm called him the bigman Kirk Hinrich lol

anyway defense needs work but it seems Fred has been doing what was expected on offense..players have supreme confidence in their ability to score and thats what most these guys need

Gibson, Noah full practice. On track to play Wednesday. Rose shot some FTs, mask fitting delayed. Snell likely out. McDermott would start.

MCBUCKETS IS STARTING!

Starting lineup against Pistons will be Moore, Butler, Mirotic, Gasol, Noah. So much for McDermott starting.

McBuckets for 6th man of the preseason award doe

 

[Scoot26]

If anything I hope Hoiberg realizes now that his jumbo lineup will fail and thus not try it in the regular season.

If Dougy McBuckets comes off the bench this year, he will win 6th man of the year.
