Pistons lose at home to the Kings tonight. Hoped to see them take a step forward this season coming off 44 wins, so 21-25 has been a let down

Lol Steve Kerr

"Kids like Curry more now than when Jordan was in his prime."

Jason Day is more popular now than Tiger was in his prime.

Curry barely makes the top 3 in terms of popularity currently in the NBA.

He's barely top 3 in the bay area. I would wager he's not top 3 nationally or globally.

On the other end.....after 1991 there was no Magic and Bird pretty much done...it was all Jordan. A few tried to be different and side with Drexler, Hakeem, Barkley and Shaq....but Jordan just dominated everyone else in popularity.

I don't know what's more entertaining: Butler and Wade essentially trashing the rest of the team after last night's loss or Rondo responding by going on social media to rant about how when he was young, the vets handled things internally instead of going public...you know, the exact opposite of what he did in response to what they said.

Rondo's shade game is strong. The intentional shade @ Butler and Wade, and the subtle shade of picking a photo that doesn't include Ray Allen.

There's a video going around Twitter of Hoiberg instructing Butler of something during the game and Butler giving him the "yeah whatever fuck off" face.

Had to figure that Hoidberg hire was gonna fail eventually. I mean he was barely making the 2nd round of the NCAA's at Iowa state. Did they think he was gonna win an NBA championship?

No, but in his defense as long as the Cavs and Warriors are assembled the way they are, the Bulls have the same minuscule chance as everyone else. They should ditch Rondo yesterday, though. What a cancer that loser is.

No he's easily the #1 in the NBA right now. Led the league in jersey sales the last two years

What was it two years ago when lebron hit that game winner in Chicago in the playoffs? If Chicago wins that game, I think they beat Cleveland in that series. Would have put them up 3-1 if I'm remembering correctly.

Sure they have a tall task with Cleveland and GS but that doesn't mean you fire a good coach and hire an average college basketball coach, especially for an organization like Chicago.

The Bulls got caught up in trying to chase the Cavs instead of trying to build from the ground up. With the power of what is maybe 3-5 franchises in the NBA, the only way you're going to catch up is to build from the ground. Almost all of these teams who tried to randomly enter the party by making trades for established players or forming their own trios have failed. Toronto and Boston have both taken a patient approach and both are set up very nicely for the next few years.

Draymond being a bitch and gets fouled by Redick wails in agony on the floor for 60 seconds. Hand slapped his face on way down to his arm.
