"We're going to try to win EVERY GAME" - The Chicago Bulls 2024-25 Season Thread

He's a project for sure.

His mentality is the inverse of Pat's. Fans won't be clamoring for Matas to shoot or be more aggressive, however, fans might get turned off if he's taking tough shots and bricking like crazy.

He's a highlight and he's fluid offensively but the shooting is a work on progress.

To me, his aggression on offense and shot blocking ability are NBA ready. His handle is good for a guy that size. His athleticism and just his coordination is there in a big way.

We knew the shot wasn't there when he was drafted. He also needs to rebound better, especially if they want him playing at the 4 long term

We'll defintiely see moments where we get pissed at Pat for trying to finish weak or passing out of potential looks and then go when Matas takes a crazy shot or tries to dunk over 2 people or some shyt.

MY INITIAL QUESTION
WAS GOING TO BE
IS HE BETTER THAN LAURI?







​

Lauri better pure shooter -- Buzelis much, much better shot creator at this stage. Buzelis is also showing signs of being a + on defense. He knows how to use his length, he was creating turnovers. Also saw some ability to stay in front of his man. Overall, I like how he projects against Lauri, but Lauris pure shooting was definitely better

 

[True Blue Moon]

he looked great, efficiency will come. his skillset at his size is outstanding. 100% passed the eye test

Yeah, I'd much rather have a dude with quality fundamentals, aggression, IQ and feel for the game who needs to sharpen his shot than a breh you gotta beg to shoot the ball or who doesn't have a strong skillset. With today's level of shooting coaching available that's too easy to improve on. The other stuff is harder to instill. And all indications show that dude isn't afraid of hard work, and he's crazy young still.

Y'all see this regarding the UC?


United Center owners planning massive $7 billion mixed-use campus around the arena

 

[GoldenGlove]

Sports books having a hard time to even post this team's win total over/under line.

Saw 2 lists come out with Chicago listed as N/A. So much depends on Zach and Vuc being on the roster that they can't even put a total on this team yet



Just odd as hell

privately funded? that sounds good at least - it seems a lot better than parking lots

Where are we parking when we pull up to the UC now?

 

[GoldenGlove]

Had a strong finish over Gobert and some impressive blocks...



This team should be great in transition

multi-level parking garages --- this plan sounds fantastic honestly

“We’ll do our best to disguise them as much as possible,” Peterson said.

The United Center’s new multilevel facilities won’t look like standard parking garages, said Richard Peterson, senior project director with design firm RIOS. Each will have a rooftop park and be surrounded by retail spaces and cafes on the ground floors.

The new parking facilities will have up to three levels, shrinking the amount of land needed for cars, said Sara Disney Haufe, director of traffic engineering for Sam Schwartz, the United Center’s traffic consultant. And with more people using ride-share services and public transportation, especially if a new Pink Line station gets built, fewer total spaces may be necessary."

I didn't see the part about privately funded. but if that's the case, that's a great thing. and now that they got a damen stop on the green line in addition to the blue line stop, there's no need for all those damn parking lots.

it's crazy this project is estimated to cost much much more than the bears proposed a lakefront stadium would cost.

there is NO WAY the bears were gonna get their stadium for like $2-$4B.
