"Ayo I want to put the Paws on em"...- The Chicago Bulls 2022-23 Season thread.

[Brozay]

Ayo is our pg.

Dragic and Drummond were good pick ups and we really didn't know it

Derozan was incredible

Vuc was cool

So disappointed in pwill.

Big win on the road vs a good eastern team.

On to the next

Drummond should be an upgrade over Bradley but his stint in the second half almost cost us the game. I am not sold on him. He makes dumb plays and is a statue around the rim

I knew we would win tho

That man taking 6 shots tonight. Including free throws.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Just out there getting cardio.

It looked like Donovan ripped into him after that careless turnover on that inbounds play. Subbed him out for Dragic immediately afterwards to finish the game

 

[El Jefe]

Told yall Ayo got this

I'm sure he had the while getting torn into.

P is big trash, but we look like a new look last year team in a good way.

4 points, 2 rebounds with starter minutes and Zach out just isn't getting it done on any level, man.

Bruh just hangs out by the perimeter and is out of camera shot in anticipation of getting back on D the second someone takes a shot. Like he's not just not aggressive, but avoiding offense and doing everything he can to not get the rock.

When's the last time we had a player that just didn't give a fukk, a player with big expectations.

I think of Eddy Curry, but he was still someone you could feed and he'd give you 16.

Something about that spotlight seems to mess with everyone we call the future. I wish we could put Ayo's heart in our top draft picks. Breh came in saying he felt disrespected for where he was drafted and came out and actually played like that from the jump.

Pat got more Tony Snell in his game than Kawhi

But Patrick really isn't getting that spotlight.

His first year in the league, he was on a team with Zach and a few other young guys that had more attention. Patrick was looked at as somewhat of an after thought.

Last year, he was still in a position where everything he gave was a bonus because we had Zach/Demar and a top defense before everything went to shyt.

He's never had that role of being a top 5 pick on a shytty team that everyone is waiting on him to be a star and take the team to the promised land.

Maybe Skiles was onto something staring at prospects during dinner to see if they had any softness in them.

I don't think he's getting spotlight in the same vein as a Zion or Lamelo, and we're definitely not a team that has had high expectations in general. They were openly patient with him and still are.

But I do think it was understood that among all the moves, the difference between this team becoming good or great would hinge upon whether Pat becomes a guy or not.

They were comparing him to Kawhi Leonard after his first couple of preseason games, and they hyped that early Clippers matchup a few games into his rookie season.

That might not be big pressure for your average top young player who knows who he is, but for a guy you have to encourage to forget about his mistakes, being the first draft pick of the new regime probably weighs more.
