The tanking Bulls have finally collapsed under Arturas Karnisovas:

🚨Bryson Graham talked about not skipping steps and preached patience.
🚨All of that is important.
🚨But the rest of the league moves forward as you're still figuring it out.
🎯Reality is the Claxton signing needs to work to lessen the learning curve.
What went wrong?
Good question. So 👇🏾
🚨Do we have better sgs than last yr that can get by a set def?
No.
🚨Do we have a center yet who controls defensive rebounding?
No.
🚨Do we have better wing defenders now?
No
🎯So essentially the roster is somewhat worse.
🚨The Chicago Bulls fo entered 2026-27 with 2 1st rd picks, 2nds, and significant salary-cap flexibility.
🚨They had a chance to kick-start this however they saw fit fairly clean.
🎯Enough of the blame game already. Let's see how the yr pans out.
🚨Giddey has been really bad.
🚨But honestly what game are some of ya'll watching.
🚨Caleb at 1 point was a -50
🚨Matas has played like he was ducking the smoke.
🚨Both have been dominated on the glass.
🎯We keeping this 💯 or not?
There are 5 major components that make up the standard of an NBA player.
🚨Shooting
🚨Dribbling
🚨Passing
🚨Rebounding
🚨Defending
🎯Tonight very few have met that standard.
🚨Hield can't dribble or defend.
🚨So when he's not hitting his shots what is the value there?
🎯Also Okoro tries, but would rather see Pat with Toronto's length.
🚨Limited highlights in this quarter.
🚨So let's travel back in time.
🚨1 thing Donovan did a good job of with limited shooting was using small guards to speed up the pace.
🎯How we navigate that throughout the season will be interesting.
Wizards don't have an answer for the Bulls' depth, trailing 100-63 at the start of the 4th Quarter.
📈 Tre Jones has 18 Points and 8 Assists, while Patrick Williams adds 18 of his own. Rob Dillingham adds 17 while Isaac Okoro has 11.

🚨Patrick Williams may be done in many fans' eyes.
🚨But he's still one of the better more versatile defenders on this roster.
🚨He also might be out strongest 4 which will be huge against Tor tonight.
🎯7:30 EST.

SA still can't shoot.
They still don't have a quality big to pair with Wemby.
But at least they added the guidance of this guy
🤖 Made with AI
🚨Limited SL/preseason gms, but Noa Essengue has turned enough heads to have his option picked up.
🚨And for good reason.
🎯Only 19, but one of the Bulls better defenders.
🚨Why are some so high on Walter Clayton Jr?
🎯He didn't shoot well, doesn't create enough separation, not a good defender, and didn't show enough development on a team known for patiently developing players?🤔
🚨Always root for Gonzaga players because they are coached well.
🚨And Zach Collins has given us good mins.
🚨But he has avg playing 48.5 gms in his career.
🎯So he's a break glass in case of emergency player. Hope Claxton gets better soon.
🚨Joakim Noah's off game was awkward and sometimes ugly.
🚨Many would cringe watching him take a jumper
🚨And he wasn't a very good rim finisher as a big.
🚨But his other traits made up for his deficiencies and we rooted for him.
🎯Hope eventually people see Giddey that way🤷🏿
🚨Many Bulls fans might remember John Poulakidas.
🚨But they might not remember his last gm in 25-26 vs the Bulls.
🎯 Also, small sample size of 4 gms with 25+mins 👇🏾
18.5 PPG
1.5 RPG
1.5 APG
0.8 SPG
0.8 BPG
50.0% FG, 47.6% 3P , 80.0% FT
And he's available now 👀 🔴
John Poulakidas (Waived - Mavericks) is the rare 6’6” lefty wing whose shooting profile has translated at every level:
40.2% from three on 604 attempts over four years at Yale (second-most makes in program history), 47.3% on high volume in the G League, and a clean 40.3% (2.4 makes per game) across 13 NBA appearances with the Mavericks. The stroke is pure and quick—no-dip, high-arc, feet-set catch-and-shoot that extends to movement and side-step threes—giving him the gravity of a true floor spacer rather than a low-volume specialist. For any NBA team thin on perimeter creation or needing to stretch defenses around a primary scorer, he is an immediate, low-cost gravity piece who forces closeouts, opens driving lanes, and has already shown he can punish them at volume when the opportunities arrive.
🚨John Poulakidas is the type of player the Bulls should look at.
🎯6'6 guard, can shoot lights out, and has a 6'10 wingspan.
🚨This level of detail would never have happened under Donovan who was entrenched with ownership.
🚨AK knew this which is why he fired Donovan's staff.
🚨We're still benefiting from players and coaches he picked.
🚨Donovan and ownership were terrible.
🎯Straight facts
