    I'm not worried about the Ws because outside the Bulls, we just had a recent easy schedule.

    We'll rack up all those Ls soon enough (especially after trade deadline)

    If you are short sighted then yes.

    Is Sengun better at his position than Jalen's? Sure....I can see that.

    Is Sengun better than Jalen overall , hell no man what's wrong with you??? lol

    Sengun as been a pro longer than Jalen's been in the G league. There really is no comparison. This is actually the worse example for your argument.

    Dude, dudette or both, just let the historic figure slide, and we are golden.

    We actually dont know that for a fact. The team started playing better with more spacing. That being said there is a high chance they wont win many games. People fail to realize though that these current wins may not be sustainable regardless and it could be fools gold.

    Yep, I liked that Twitter has expanded its options, and you can have longer chats and it ain't just a short messaging system no more.

    Silas has turned the corner and it seems to work but he is still playing veterans major minutes.

    Winning above development right now. (Kind of selfish because he wants to exit this job with a winning record)

    A lot has to do with Jalen Green not being on the court - the dude really didn't know what he was doing and has a lot to learn.

    Yes spacing has improved (see above) but it didn't magically change overnight. What happened was Silas was tanking too hard and they needed to make it less obvious haha. They went too far the other direction.

    Stop it man. We won without Wood playing one game and KPJ playing another game its not Green it was clearly spacing. Just when I thought I could go a few minutes without someone replying something haterish or stupid to me for a few minutes here you go. Back on twitter I go lol

    I don't hate Green at all. In fact am a big fan and think he will be a star. But right now he's not a very good player. He probably needed to come off the bench this season.

    OK not hate then but its still stupid to blame it all on Green. Considering like I said we have had injuries to others and managed to win. The logical conclusion is that it was spacing. You could even see it in the game today when we had two big lineups the Pelicans started to come back. Not just this game but the last week whenever we had two bigs in it just didnt work. This is the only place I have to argue so much and something thats basic common sense. Even announcers and other teams coaches have said it and our commentators have said it. At this point im just sick of the idiotic comments about Green on this board.

    Last 4 teams have won less than 20% of their games this season. It's going to get real nasty here soon when we start playing good teams again and all of a sudden Silas doesn't know what he is doing again. I'm sure it won't have anything to do with our opponents though.

    The win streak was fun when against playoff teams, but winning by single possessions against tanking teams at home is fools gold.
