Yeah.I do enjoy competitive local basketball, but I've checked out on Chicago months ago. Sorry. And yes, the Hawks are trash.
That said, there is one question that's been vexing me. The Hawks Play-in elimination has the national press opining that the Trae Young experiment is at an end, or at least should be. I'm curious about your thoughts on a potential Lavine-Young swap. Even money. Each has a skill set that improves their respective team, at least in theory. And I must admit, a Murray - Lavine pairing looks better than Murray - Young ever did.
This is a COBY appreciation post. If Coby is not your favorite active NBA player, what is the matter with you? Did your mother not hug you as a child?
Coby is Kyrie evolved, 2.0, but without all the bullshit and in a totally lovable package. Coby is our gift for being saddled with Reinsdorf, Garpax, and AK all these years. Enjoy Coby like you enjoy Santa Claus and the first warm day of spring.
it was eerie to watch the mason dixon bulls stutter into-and-out-of the postseason holding pen in such a bullsian way. their janky rosters really are strange mirror images. rudderless teams but at least one has the ability to acknowledge it (though still sharing the inability to fix it)
the hawks play a truly flavorless and dismal brand of basketball. it’s like someone got a third hand description the d’antoni rockets and tried to recreate it
This Bulls team has me so conflicted in the sense that I do genuinely like a bunch of these players. I hate that this is where we are and this organization, by design, is just very very hard to care about in a way where you feel the care will be definitely not be reciprocated
But then Coby is so easy to root for and it's awesome to see him have this moment. Demar giving him love during that postgame interview was just nice. Ayo going full speed and being awesome. AC being AC at least until the least situationally aware guy that I can possibly imagine does more dumb stuff. So many Javontes
I'm at the acceptance phase, this is the situation we are in - as fans - it sucks. I can go back to bargaining phase and say, hey at least Jerry Reinsdorf et al isn't John Fisher, but those kind of rationalizations are dumb. This org is garbage, but I do still enjoy watching players I like do cool stuff
Jimmy is out Friday, chances are that's a win. This sets up stuff for the worst imaginable timeline, where we are competitive (sliding scale) against the C's and this is all lather, rinse, repeat

The only thing I liked about this game was Coby getting some national recognition.
Secondary was Vuc having a decent game... Maybe his value goes up?
I wish deebo had a bad game so we can keep him on a vet min (pipe dream lol)
just confirmed that not only is Butler out but Rozier is out too
I can't help but think they just are realizing it's not worth it to push for playoffs when Butler's gonna be out weeks
AK's plan is working! Except they have to face the Celtics
It's a make-the-play-in-tournament or miss-the-play-in-tournament league.
