[Boujack]

This would be a good game to give minutes to our bench players and resting the starters. But sadly they all are G LEAGUE players. Even Gordon most of the time.

[bwgood77]

LaVine out. Good for us!

[Cutter]

Is Bol Bol back?

[bwgood77]

Back before we had a true big 3...

Spoiler:

Would that team have been able to beat our current team?

[lilfishi22]

Is Bol Bol back?

Unfortunately no.

Bol (foot) will not play in Monday's game against Chicago, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

This will be the fifth game in a row that Bol will be sidelined for. Whether or not he'll be able to play Wednesday against the Mavericks remains to be seen.

[Qwigglez]

We are keeping Bol Bol out until after the all-star break guys.

[SkyBill40]

Unless something has changed, both Gordon and Allen are likely GTD/out. Hopefully for actual reason and not because they're being held out for a pending trade. I'd be more fine with Gordon going than Allen.

EDIT: Looks like it's Gordon and Bol.

[lilfishi22]

Oh damn, I didn't realise the trade deadline is only like 2 weeks away. January always goes by real quick

[bwgood77]

Hopefully the self proclaimed GOAT, KD, can keep up his recent level of play.

Yeah. I was watching the NBA show on ESPN during lunch and was surprised it was that close. This month has blown by already.

[bwgood77]

What the hell was Vucevic doing lol?

[SkyBill40]

What the hell was Vucevic doing lol?

Looked like an outlet pass for a teammate he expected to be there but wasn't.

[Qwigglez]

Embiid got 63, so I'm going to tune into that game.

[schnakenpopanz]

i am watching the bulls stream.
i never wanted to punch a guy so much as the bulls color guy
since Heinsohn passed away he took the crown for most annoying homer in the whole league

[SkyBill40]

Embiid got 63, so I'm going to tune into that game.

So much for that whole "bust their ass" boast from Popovich, eh?

[Qwigglez]

He needs 69 to beat Chamberlain's franchise record.

But yeah... Embiid when he hears some chatter, he uses that as motivation I feel.

[Qwigglez]

Colby White has significantly improved his game from last season. Hitting 3's at a good rate.

Today is the anniversary of Bryant's 81, too.

[SkyBill40]

Getting out hustled once again by a scrappy team. Lazy defense leading to a 12 point lead for CHI. I know it's early, but why does it take so long for us to put anything together? What ever happened to making a statement and going hard from the opening tip to the final buzzer?
