That's an eternity away. Never asked for an all-star break.

The definitive song about fighting bulls.

Some might say it also serves as a characterization of the Bulls' defense.

I really thought we would get some practice time to incorporate the new guys, but it seems we will only get one practice tomorrow.

Yeah, some are still on vacation. Hoping the two new guys at least came in early and are working with the assistants via film sesh and individual workouts.

Patrick Williams, Zach LaVine, Torrey Craig, and Lonzo Ball are all OUT for the Bulls.

Not expecting a blowout. Not expecting a close win. Just win. It's the new me. Any win will do.

That's too generous. I give me a game and a quarter.

Interested to see the injury report for us. And if Springer/Tillman are available or out for this game.

If they're available, that is a sigh of relief that they are healthy and that the team was just keeping them out of those other games to get them up to speed on our systems/schemes and was planning all along on having them debut after the ASB.

But if they're out, then it means that Tillman's knee and/or Springer's foot are injuries we might need to be concerned about..

Celtics are entering post-ASB with a bench net rating of 5.3. Only two teams have had a higher mark since 1996-97 -- 2012 Bulls and 2016 Spurs.

Somewhat Related: Celtics having Tatum on the floor w/o the other two top scorers on team (JB, KP) have a net rating of +18.4 in 1200 possessions.

Neither of those teams had a postseason we would find pleasing.

Having a strong bench isn’t a top priority in the postseason when rotations tighten/shorten. Of the top 10 teams in bench net rating since 1996-97, only 3 won it all — 97 CHI, 02 LAL, and 14 SAS.

That Tatum rating is just remarkable.

That many players out? Blowout loss.

If I remember, Rose got injured in 2012 vs Philly. I cant remember if Kawai got hurt in 16 or 17
