  1. And some bulls fans hate this guy because they say he's a bust but they didn't understand that Jim Boylen f'd his development. Then these bulls fans are singing the same tune towards pat williams. 😂

  2. I’m glad platforms are giving players a chance to talk because when they play bad they’re so many things that are going on in their head and off the court and us fans don’t get it😊

  3. i was at that game when they loss by 56 against the celtics. was pretty hyped until the game started

  4. It's disgusting what they did to coach Fred Hoiberg… You hire a coach known for his offensive schemes/mind. Then you surround him with Old Rondo, Old Wade, & Jimmy Butler..worst shooting trio ever..

    Then eventually fire him as if he was in the wrong.

  5. Jim thinks he’s coaching high school basketball playing his favorite player that ain’t good that the better player 🤣

  6. I thought he would have a very heavy european accent really surprised how good his english is

  7. Someone who watches every bull's game: Lavine and Coby would never pass Lauri the ball even if he was open. Lauri had such a promising rookie season. Then Lavine came in…… Now he actually gets the ball and mike Conley is having career high in assists bc he actually knows how to play with others.

  8. If I remember the starters only played the first half, thus helping the Celtics win by 56. Boylen then punishes the players by scheduling a tough practice after a back to back. Good stuff

  9. Bulls are terrible at developing players. Something happened around 2015-16 and they just started wasting away promising talent. Now it's Pat Williams that's dealing with this bs. If the bulls have no intention of developing their lottery picks to play older guys just trade the pick and at least get a valuable vet.

  10. Damn bro, you had to work 5 hours a day while getting paid millions. I feel so bad for these slave conditions they had to endure

  11. No offense to markkanen but he's the wrong person to tell this story… too awkward

  12. I knew in real time that Lauri was being mismanaged on the Bulls, and hearing this it's just like wow he never had a chance.

  13. JJ, I’m a Celtics fan and would love to hear you talk to max Strus, his story would be cool to hear.
