Chicago Bulls are MOST INTERESTING Team! Josh Giddey is an ALL-STAR & Nikola Vucevic Game-Winner!

Do it, baby. Here we go. Last night we had a really good game with the 76ers at the Bulls visiting them. Uh the Bulls, they got over a 24-point deficit last night to to get over uh to get over to beating the 76ers. What did you see last night from the from the Bulls or do you think the 76ers just fell asleep at the wheel? What was your take last night, Chandler? Let me tell you something. They were down 24 points late in the second quarter and this team just stuck with it, Lou. They were resilient. This team, listen, they lack talent. They don’t have the most talented lineup. They don’t have the most talented roster in the NBA, but the way they play, they have constant movement, constant, you know, flow. They’re third in assist. They’re second in three-point percentage. To me, that tells me that they’re getting great shots. Josh Giddy is the head of the snake. I don’t know why we’re not talking about this dude. He’s averaging 23, 10, and nine points. They’re well coached. They play hard. And again, it’s just a free flow on offense. Guys like Kevin Herurder are giving them outside shooting. BC has always been a solid big man who’s kind of holding down the paint. AO is giving them great minutes off the bench. A key adjustment I think Billy Donovan made is is he brought Pat Williams off the bench. This is a former top five pick who had a lot of expectations. Got a little bit of a payday. And that was a big move I think to kind of move him to the bench, let him be more comfortable, let him fit in. But this team’s rolling and they play the right way. They play smart and I can’t talk enough about Josh Giddy man. Big guard. He always showed flashes of it in Oklahoma City. Obviously, they were loaded in the guard position, but man, he’s really turned the corner and he’s shown why he got that big payday this summer. Yeah, absolutely. Welcome back, thanks. Thanks. It’s hoodie day. I don’t want to miss this. Yeah. Now, you know what? Watching you would have seen that. Look, he he legit panicked. But I No, I saw it. And honestly, I think Lou did a great job. I need a little more pep in your step, some more smiling, and you’ll be fine. All right. I almost acted like I was frozen. I’ll take I’ll take the coaching. But listen, you know what y’all? Last night watching this game, I realized that the 76ers are a real team. The Chicago Bulls are a real team. You know, Chicago, they play, they play great together. You know, you feel like Vas, you feel like Giddy is the head of the snake. I like what Vu is bringing to the table. He was in attack mode early. He’s a stretch four. He’s a stretch five. He gives them that option. And when you’re a guard like Josh Giddy and you have so many targets that you can hit and guys doing their jobs and and being in the right spot, it make it easy. I thought I I thought the Chicago Bulls played that way. And on the flip side of it, I thought 76ers I thought the Sixers, they made a lot of tough tough shots early. Like I watched this game, I saw Maxi hit a tough fadeaway three-pointer to start the game. He hit another fadeaway three-pointer to start the game. Sometimes that’s fool’s gold. when you make some tough shots early on and you know that the game is going to slow down at some point and you’re gonna have to play half court basketball. I feel like they kind of got fooled into a halfcourt basketball game and that’s why Chicago was able to walk them down. But all in all, I think both of these teams are the real deal. I look forward to seeing how they how they mature going down the stretch, what adjustments both of these teams make moving forward. Uh but I like what Chicago did. I like how they played and I like how Philly played as well. You know, being down 24 points and losing the basketball game obviously is never an ideal thing, but I think they still got a lot to work through. Jared McCain, he’s still trying to work himself back into the lineup. He didn’t have a great night last night. Didn’t score, didn’t get a rebound, didn’t get anything. You can expect his his uh his usage to go up um obviously a lot. You can expect uh VJ to have better nights than he did. He shot four for 12 from the field. Joel Embiid wasn’t efficient from the field. I think that all comes from them making big time shots early on in that game and they just didn’t adjust well and it didn’t go their way. You know what’s crazy? This morning I was thinking about this thinking about that game and I and I reminded myself that Paul George still hasn’t come back yet and like he’s that’s crazy to me that we still have a Paul George. We’re waiting on that um in the middle of all of this and I wonder how long it’ll be before we can you look there’s a lot of g a lot of game to be played still but you know we did this with Detroit at some point maybe you take a turn as an organization and you start to get good again and I’m wondering if maybe this is the beginning of that for Chicago can we can we get our good friend Stacy King his call on the Vousvich gamewinning shot here he is races to the baskets it out Shot Fuji Mine for three. Fucci Mine steps up again. The Grizzle veteran steps up and hits the biggest shot of the season. Oh my goodness. Elizabeth, I’m coming again. Elizabeth. Oh lord. Oh, it’s the big one. Elizabeth. The Kia Bulls again. That’s ridiculous. I think Stacy Gucci Man. We got Zuchi man. I think Stacy King been listening and watching the running back. He talking about uh Z uh VC man. I think you I think you know where he get that from. But I like it. That was a great call. You hate it. Why you Why you shaking your head? No, I think it’s unbelievable. I just think it’s funny that we just man with with with Zubots and now Buchcci Man and the grizzled vet. I love the energy. I love the guy. I forgot his name, but the commentator on the Hornets, he really leaves it all on the floor. he goes ham uh with with some highlights. So Stacy King, he he’s giving him some competition. But listen, this this Bulls team, they’re so interesting to me because we talked about yesterday the Bucks, right? Who’s their number two? We obviously know number Giannis their number one. Who’s the Bulls number one? Like this is just this is literally like a this is a team. This is a team that they have nine guys that overage more average more than seven points. Like I said already, they’re third in assist and they’re second in three-point percentage. So, they’re they’re playing together. They’re playing as a unit. Josh Giddy’s doing a great job controlling this offense, but there’s no clear-cut number one. They just go out there and they hoop and they play hard and they move the ball and they get the best possible shot. To have that good of a three-point percentage and that high of assist every single night shows that they’re playing offense the right way. They’re playing unselfish. They don’t care who scores. But when you look at Josh Giddy’s numbers, I mean, bro, he’s averaging 23, 10, and nine. And like, this is the first time we’ve said his name all season long. and the Bulls are six and one. This kid deserves a lot of credit. He got paid. A lot of guys can kind of take their foot off the gas after that. He’s doing the opposite. He’s making that jump and he’s showing why he got that contract and he’s a huge part of why these Bulls without a clearcut number one really are six and one and at the top of the East. Yeah, for me not back for Chicago talking about players that are not 20 points a game. Insane. Yeah, for me it’s hard not to say Josh Giddy when you have those numbers, but I’m just looking at Vu last night, man. And it felt like he was the motor. Like they were still playing through him. The offense was still ran through him and they were taking advantage of the opportunities that they had that he created and and Josh Giddy was able to find everybody and he was able to be just as aggressive on the offensive end as Vu was. But to Chandler’s point, that’s the great thing about the Chicago Bulls early in this season. You can’t pinpoint who they’re going to play through. you can’t pinpoint who’s the best player on this team. And I don’t really know if they care at this point. You know, they’ve had some bad runs. They haven’t really been able to find that traction that they wanted to find as a basketball team. And now that you have it, don’t mess it up by worrying about whose team is it or who’s the number one this, number one that. Just play the best basketball that y’all can play as a unit and continue to rack up these big wins. This is a great win for the Chicago Bulls team early in the season cuz I’m sure they got haters. I’m sure they got doubters and people that don’t think that this is real. So, for them to continue to rack up these wins and beat the teams that we keep highly talented as the better teams in the East, this is going to be good for them down the stretch. I believe it’s fun to see that building happy, too. Like, it’s a it’s a joy, if you will. Um, we’re going to play a little game called an All-Star right now. I feel like we can do a bunch of these here in these first few weeks of the season. But these are the numbers. Well, I mean, the silhouette, guys, get crazy. Is that Cartop? Is he an allar? Clearly that’s Joel Embiid. Clearly. Uh, is he an all-star, Michelle? Yes, at the moment he’s 23 10 and nine. Damn near averaging a triple double on technically right now the best team in the East. Yes, he is an all-star. Damn near an all-star starter with what the start that they have. Wow. Where is Josh Giddy from? Australia. So, he’s he goes on the he goes on that side. I don’t know the rules. I don’t know. My side is killing. I don’t know rules. I don’t Yeah, I don’t know how many guys are are going to be on each side. Do we have any any update on the rules? How does this work? Or I don’t know. I still don’t I still don’t have clarity on that. But listen, they’re the number one seed, they’re getting if they if this was all-star voting stopped right now, they’re getting an all-star and it’s got to be him. That’s they might get two. By the way, when I was putting together my foreign team, they stay there. I didn’t even know he might be the coach. There you go. As as it stands today on what is this, November 5th, 4th, whatever it is, the Chicago Bulls are the best team in the East. They’re going to get they’re going to get afforded some of the some of the the perks of being at that spot. Who knows? We’re going to really ruffle some feathers with our power rankings later. No, I know. I was going to say like, let’s just hold off on the Super I was trying to get us out of it yesterday. I I I was honest. tried. You tried really hard. I was proud of you. Um, okay. Yeah. So, look, they’re the top team in the East. Let’s Let’s try to foresee the future and how realistic we really think this team is. And I remind you of the Pistons when you do this. But, uh, they’ve made the playoffs once in the last eight years. Um, and they haven’t made it in the last three. So, realistically, Chandler, are we looking at a playoff possibility here? Yeah, I mean, it’d be weird to say no right now with the start that they’ve had. Uh, and they also, like we talked about, they have help. Kobe White’s been out of the lineup. AO who’s had a great start this season. He didn’t play last night. Zack Collins is another, you know, val valuable big that they have coming off that he’s didn’t play last night. So, they do have a little depth. They have shooting. Like I said, they move the ball. They play offense just the just the correct way to play. Unselfish, extra pass. I have a good shot. He’s got a better shot. They’re moving the ball to him. And they have the big fella who kind of reminds me of a Miles Turner, right? He’s been on the trading block, I feel like, his entire career. He’s a great dude. He plays hard. You never hear any distractions or problems as Boo and he just keeps his head down and he gets you 20 and 10 every single night. So yeah, it’d be weird to say they’re not a playoff team right now. They’re six and one. The East we said is wide open. We see these good teams that we thought were going to kind of get off to a good start like the Knicks, the Cavs, the Hawks are banged up, the Celtics, these the Bulls show have shown right now they are a better better basketball team right now and they’ll make the playoffs in the East. Yeah, I I think this is good for them. I think this this great start is going to be beneficial to them going down the line. Let’s say they do find some bumps in the road. You’re giving yourself kind of a runway to deal with some adversity in this season. So, for them to go to the one seed and find themselves outside of the playoffs, I don’t really see that happening, especially with how the East is built right now. So many different teams going through their adversity and their adjustments as well. I think they maintain. again, they’ve figured out a way to win basketball games as a unit, as a team. U the ball is moving around. Everybody is happy. We’re talking about guys having an opportunity to have all-star years. I think everything is lining up for the Bulls to not only be a playoff team, though, to be a top four team and possibly get homec court advantage if they continue to play this way. Whoa. Crazy, crazy, crazy. All right, we’re going to talk some Sixers here. We’re going to get positive about that in a second,
