AK hates the home losses because he knows that's the only time anyone connected to Bulls ownership might see a stray 20 seconds of Bull basketball while they glance up from the drinks and buffet and their phone and whatever magazines might be laying around the box to see what a shit product they're selling.
Now that every team plays essentially the same way, bad NBA teams are less interesting than they have ever been in the history of the league. I don't care about seeing a lot of these teams play, Bulls included. I can watch high school kids jack and miss 3s, not box out and not play help defense, and I don't have to sit through commercials.
In KC's defense, he knows how poor this comes off and tries to caveat this as the ownerships thinking.
On the other hand, the "one for one" language is laughably awful. They hit on one roster 5 years ago, and nothing happened since then? Such a thin pretense to pretend AK is competent.
I don’t even think they really hit on that roster. Sure they were the #1 seed in the east for less than two months. A lot of those wins came against bad teams. They were never a serious contender even with Lonzo. Then when Lonzo got hurt, they literally sat on their hands, did nothing and hoped that it would work out.
I don't know why we need to try to rewrite history here. Bulls were a really good team before Ball went down. He was our leader on offense and defense. Derozan was great and Vuc was solid. It was great to be a Bulls fan, it's too bad Ball blew out his knee.
I was just looking at a bunch of mock drafts to get an idea of who the Bulls might take. Mock drafts are really all over the place after the first three picks with the Bulls taking six different players in them. I’m ready for anything on Wednesday.
KC is the cringiest type of displaced journalist, a mediocrity who got too comfortable over 29 years at the Trib, building his career not on writing ability or insight, but on bootlicking his sources. His TV presence is execrable, a shambling, doofy assistant funeral director filling a role typically staffed by camera-ready eye candy, making Will Perdue look like Charles Barkley. Carrying water for this horrid Dorfian regime, like B-Ball Baghdad Bob, is an ethical and moral failure, and since he was too dumb to save for retirement when he was working, he should take up honest toil, like night-stocking the Jewel or staffing the dish pit at The Wiener's Circle.

AK hates the home losses because he knows that's the only time anyone connected to Bulls ownership might see a stray 20 seconds of Bull basketball while they glance up from the drinks and buffet and their phone and whatever magazines might be laying around the box to see what a shit product they're selling.
Now that every team plays essentially the same way, bad NBA teams are less interesting than they have ever been in the history of the league. I don't care about seeing a lot of these teams play, Bulls included. I can watch high school kids jack and miss 3s, not box out and not play help defense, and I don't have to sit through commercials.
This doesn't even include TV viewership, which I expect to be as dismal, if not more.
In KC's defense, he knows how poor this comes off and tries to caveat this as the ownerships thinking.
On the other hand, the "one for one" language is laughably awful. They hit on one roster 5 years ago, and nothing happened since then? Such a thin pretense to pretend AK is competent.
KC starts that way but then piles on with his own personal agreement, especially in lack of pushback on Smith's warped history retelling
I don’t even think they really hit on that roster. Sure they were the #1 seed in the east for less than two months. A lot of those wins came against bad teams.

And even their "hit" in 2021 wasn't all that great. There are so many stats that show that team wasn't nearly as good as its record indicated.
And that's not even mentioning how much they gave up for that roster.
I just said just about the same thing. IIRC, the Bulls had a lot of last second wins that inflated their record.
Whoops, my bad!
No worries, great minds think alike!
That's the really crazy thing. They paid Louis Vuitton prices for some moderately ok Sketchers.
