Terry, Green and Vooch were very good. Drummond showed a bit when came off the bench. Hope Cobys knee is not going to keep him out long. Boy did our defence collapse and got beaten in the first half. Perimeter scoring besides from Zach and if Coby can get minutes, I'm not sure where that is going to come from this season especially with Lonzo out. Only first preseason game but the Bulls have alot to work on. Got a feeling there's going to be alot of experimenting by Billy with the rotations these next 3 pre season games and maybe even into the season. Malcolm Hill was another I thought showed a bit tonight
This is the season where we have to stop making up excuses for Patrick Williams.
This looked like an extension of teh end of last season. Terry needs to start over PWIll.
They need to get green more touches ! 🔥
Patrick Williams trade value is gonna plummet this season 🙃
😏 After that performance they look closer to 12th then 6th.
I have a feeling a handful of Bulls fans are going to retract their thoughts of Dalen Terry as the Bulls 18th pick when all is said and done.
I was at the game live and Dalen Terry’s energy was infectious and after their run to comeback into the game, the United Center sounded like a post season game thanks to Dalen Terry’s energy. He’s gonna help this team a lot more than we thought. If i were the bulls I would put Terry ahead of Dragic in the rotation, especially after last night.
I liked Vuc and Terry’s plqy last night. Terry looked like the #7 pick and showed more agressiveness, grit, and confidence than PWill has in his 3rd year. Terry should have significant minutes this year. I’m not sure whqt potential everyone sees in Pwill, his game looks flat
Ayo low key definitely look like he got better off the dribble. His shot looks better too
Dalen Terry's energy had me smilin' while watching this game. I didn't even care about the loss. Also, Malcom Hill is damn near useful just about every time he's on the floor. And yeah, Vuc was an absolute animal last night and it was amazing to see.
Dalen Terry got game my g he going be a top 20 playa in dis league soon fam no haterz allowed my dawg 💥💥💥🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿🐐
Bulls picking up where they left off last year I see.. This year everybody is going to be getting on Pat Williams and give Vooch a break.. but I blame coaching, Pat has been playing out of position his whole career here. He needs to come off the bench and play some 3.
Dalen played with more heart & grit than Patrick Williams did for some reason 🤔
Terry!!
Javante ended the last season as one of my favorite players. When he's guarding dudes with his hands behind his back cracks me up. Just so confident on the defensive end. Hope to see him do great things this year. He wants it.
Dalen Terry looked great! I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he’s gonna be a rising star and maybe a second team rookie if he continues to play like he did last night
I sat in front of the gorillaz and we were excited about dalen 🔥💪🏽 he definitely brought us back in that game
I was disgusted. They stood around and looked just liked they did at end the of last season. Patrick, smh I want to believe in him. He just don’t want to be aggressive with the starters in. Maybe he needs to come off the bench where he can be the primary scorer. Idk
Bad taste in my mouth. Pelican looked ready for the season
Dalen was great in a lot of ways, defense, attacking the basket and energy. Vooch and Javonte had a really nice games. Team defense from the starters is still horrible. Looked a lot like the end of last year where the opponents are getting wide open looks from everywhere on the floor. Transition defense was miserable. I was hoping Ayo and Pat were going to help the defense in the starting lineup but didn’t see it. Way to many turnovers by Zach and Andre. If Bulls don’t figure out how to dictate game through defense, it’s going to be a long season.
I just don’t know about Patrick Williams man.
Be ready at the tip off!!! Teams will be ready for the Bulls this season and the intensity will be high from opening tip. They have to match that intensity from jump!!!
Move pat Williams to the bench with Caruso, Dalen, Green, and Drummond. All energy guys which is what Pat needs to be around. The offense is more free flowing with that group and they’ll be up against teams’ bench units. Plus Patrick Williams solely came off the bench in his lone season at Florida state so I think it’ll be a better fit for him. Also javonte green at the small forward looks to be a more comfortable position for him as he’s too small to guard power forwards. The last part of this is to trade coby white and whatever else is needed to get a defensive, young, hustle type power forward to replace Pat. Jarred Vanderbilt in Utah HAS to become a Bull this season! He has a very cheap contract to keep us under the luxury tax!! Make it happen front office!!!
I met him at Vegas summer league and I watched him and Marko play. He is like a energy ball. The though of Dalen and Ball together on defense can be very exciting.
Dalen Terry is the most exciting player on this team… That dude is long like Pippen is long, he gets steals at the bottom of the bounce.. Im excited to see this kid.
MUCH needed heart off of the bench, he’ll be a key piece
Our young dudes were looking more energetic and sharp than the starting lineup. Dalen and Malcom came in and stole the show in the 4th. Honestly gotta say disappointed in Billy’s playbook. Seems like he wants to run the same exact stuff that stifled us last season. Javonte too tho. Wow.
Terry Pippen was on fire. He's a steal. He's gonna be great for the team. I'd love to see Dalen, Caruso, and Javonte on the floor together, they'll give opponents fits. S/o to Malcolm Hill too, he was solid.
The starters need to get it together, they were awful in the 1st half, Vuc played well tho he needs a steady diet of post-ups.
I saw Marko! On a milk carton!
I need to see Ayo Patrick Williams and Dalen terry a lot this season they are our future if they can have a big impact on our team this team can make a run in the playoffs if not I expect another first round exit
Idk what that weird drive and kick thing we were doing was, but, i dont wanna see that bullshit in the season, we passed the ball to the opposition more to each other lmao
Dalen Terry was giving me those feel good passionate Gafford vibes with just his demeanor and energy, loved to see it
I was sitting courtside and the speed of Terry was unbelievable! So much hustle and talent
Goran Tragic
We still lack size and shooting. Something we really needed but didn't do enough to address outside of adding Drummond but he is kind of an old school big who doesn't really shoot. We need some of those 6'10" guys who are quick and long and can shoot and block shots. Hayes, Hernangomez, Williamson, Valanciunas, Nance, they kept us out of the paint, dunked and shot 3s on us. Other teams have players just like we do only theirs are like half a foot taller. Expect people to do that to us a lot this year while we cannot counter. They get 3s and we answer with a Derozan 2 from the elbow. In a tougher East I say the Bulls hover around .500 this year maybe a little over.
I think Dragic looked bad mainly cause Euro ball is so much different than NBA type of play. Once he gets his feet under him I think he will be solid
Drummond had me buggin all game. 3 sec violation,trying to run the point guard, complaining all game,not running back on defense and getting technicals 😒
P Will will be a bust again. All the trades that we turned down because the front office didn’t want to include P Will.
Gonna be honest I love the idea that if kostas keeps playing and progressing that he can become our main backup 4 and hopefully even our starting 4
Williams is always underwhelming, I don't know what everyone sees in him. Is he decent defensively yes is he anything like Kawhi Leonard which everyone compares him to not even close. He doesn't have the aggression just as you stated. We should have let him go in a trade for someone like Turner, DeAndre Ayton or even Gobert two players we almost ended with if it weren't being scared to let go of who….Williams!!! He is our weak link on the team at this moment and for the past two years. You can disagree but the facts are what they are, every once and awhile he puts on a good performance but besides that he's always out performed by everyone else on the team. Look at Terry someone just played his first live game not only in the NBA but on the Bulls court!! He even outshines Williams in his first appearance on the court. The fact is he has a decent skill set the athleticism he just doesn't and won't get that aggression that he needs to break out of his shell. He's a quiet non aggressive kid, It's doing him no justice on the court. He keeps getting outshined by the entire team. I was hoping Williams was going to prove me wrong, but once again I stand corrected. Let him go be the weak link on another team!! We could have gotten a player or players for him and White to give us a different look, instead of running it back with basically the same team. The same team that couldn't beat anyone in the top of either conference and got eliminated in the first round. We need someone that could have stood up to the likes of Giannis and other bigs that Vooch just can't seem to do. Really we just need a new owner that's not scared to go over the tax, which plenty of teams did to make there teams stronger this yr. This is why we should have made changes because we look just like we did last year with no Ball and a bunch of teams that are alot more talented and made the correct moves to get somewhere this year and we just stood still. It makes absolutely no sense it's a cheap move and it's sad that this piece of shit doesn't care how Chicago does every year!! Get ready for a year that's going to be tougher then last. We basically have the same squad and everyone else strengthened up there weaknesses. I hope and I pray we get Ball back soon, but as we already know what should be a 6 to 8 week and back on the court takes him a year + until he's even close to running it back.
It's one pre-season game. Let's not get get too excited. Don't forget Coby rookie season, Lauri first few regular season games just to name a few. A player rookie can fool us even for a whole season.
LET'S just get it out in the open 🤣 Pat is Soft just like pippen was his first few years. 🤷🏾♂️ HE'S CLEARLY NOT A DAWG. He's a suburban kid. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Malcolm Hill played ball too
