 What's the word y'all? No, I'm not upset. No, I'm not disappointed. At the end of the day, I'm just tired of the Chicago Bulls. And I know that's a wow statement coming from a guy that is a Die Hard Bulls fan. It's right here, it's right there, it's tattooed on the leg, it's on the shirt, it's everywhere. But genuinely, I am tired of the Chicago Bulls right now. And the message is very simple. It's time to blow it up. It just is. I see it, you see it. Everybody else watching these basketball games should see it. But for some reason, our front office doesn't. At least that's what they say. At least that's what they put on. Hopefully they're more bright than that. But listen, I'm gonna make a promise right now because I don't really know what we stand on this channel when it comes to me and Bulls talk. Because honestly, I can talk about the Bulls all day, every day, it's my favorite team. Whether they're doing really good or really bad, I don't really know what y'all expect from me. But I could honestly see somebody who doesn't like the Bulls or whatever, being annoyed by me making so many Bulls-centric videos over the last couple of seasons. So here's my promise to you. This is the last Bulls-centric video we will do on this channel until they make a trade. And then we'll talk about that trade. And talk, you know, okay, cool. Today they gave up 150 points to the Minnesota Tim Bulls who were missing Carthony Towns. Matter of fact, I'm not even gonna list all the people they were missing. They were missing like four to five rotational players, and of course included Carthony Towns, a really good bear, the two all-star caliber big man. And then you saw Nathan Goddamn Knight. If Nathan Knight is putting you to bed, it's time to sell. It's time to rebuild. We're tired of it, man. And I don't speak for Bulls fandom. I'm just one guy that happens to be a Bulls fan. But it always blows my mind when I hear Bulls fans say, hey, it's cool. All we need is Lonzo Ball. Bro, Lonzo Ball is not suiting up this season. I'm like 96% sure of that. When they tell you two weeks ago that bro is struggling to walk upstairs, I don't know how you and your mind can say, he will be back sometime this year. Lonzo, get well soon. Forget about basketball. Because you not being able to like walk upstairs and stuff is some scary stuff. And we notice here in Chicago, because I remember, oh man, I remember Derrick Rose, he set out some games while he was here in Chicago and he got some flak from it from the fans. And what he said in the interview after setting out some games for personal reasons or whatever was he wanted to see his son, he wanted to be there for his son walking across the stage and this and that. Basically saying that his body's health is more important than basketball in the moment. And Derrick Rose going through all those injuries, I understood. And with Lonzo Ball going through all these injuries, if he were to say something similar, I understand Lonzo will get well soon. I'm telling bulls fans, Lonzo's not coming through the door, so why the hell are we attaching ourselves to that as a possibility? Where can we, we were the ones to see what Lonzo was playing. Darn. It was fool's goal. You saw what I saw. You saw what I saw. We might have been oblivious to it because we were having such a good damn time because we went five straight years of being bad and this is the first time we've been one seed going into the all star game. What? We ain't had that since D-Rose at the MVP. So we turned an eye, but like you know at the end of the season they kept showing that graphic of us winning one game against good teams. You saw on the playoff series, the Milwaukee Bucks were like, shoot it. We don't care. And the front office did nothing to address any of those problems. So you still saying Lonzo Ball is going to be the savior. It's kind of wild to me because I'm watching what you watching, bro. It's not the same. And unfortunately for us Bulls fans, again, I'm only speaking for myself so I can't talk about all the old Bulls and some of y'all are okay with what's going on which that's, I mean, that's on you. I talked about this on my podcast before and I might have even mentioned on this channel before. The Chicago Bulls front office made a huge, huge bet when they came in. Divousivist Trey we all could look at right now and on hindsight and say it was a terrible, terrible Trey. Our pick is top four protector for the season and we're back. The Lendo Magic fans are super happy about it. Their team's on a win streak and the Bulls on a loser's streak. That's a W for them. So our front office makes that Trey and then the next off season, they make the Trey for the Marta Rose and if you forget that we threw a pick in at the Marta Rose and Trey. So that's another first round pick out to do. I don't know the protectors on that one but I'm assuming it's probably lightly because the first Trey was lightly protected too. So the front office made two big trades. Basically telling us we don't care about the future because we're building for the now. And the team that they built for the now can't win now against a Minnesota Timberwolves team that was missing four to five real rotational players and two of them being all stars. What? So because of that, don't believe that the Bulls will actually hit the sale. I saw some rooms today. It makes me a little bit interested but I don't believe that they're gonna be too prideful to sale. This is their first opportunity to run a basketball team, right? I guess it's not true. Karnie Chauvas has run with the Denver Nuggets and some stuff like that but they made some brash, harsh, important, big trades for the now and they might be too prideful to say, hey, we messed up, let's just reset. Well, Karnie, our pick is tough for a protector. It makes no sense to sale. At this point, I don't even care if that pick can pay for it or it ends up being your Lendo Magic pick. They deserve it. They deserve for finessing us. If the pick ends up being five hell, yeah, I'm gonna be upset but I'm not gonna be like, oh, we should have kept the core together because it might have ended up being nine and nine is worse for your Lendo Magic. I don't have any ill will to your Lendo Magic at all. I don't, you know what I'm saying? Of course I want it to be top four but if it ends up being five, six, seven, eight, nine, I'm not mad at the Magic. I'm mad at the front office for giving up that pick. And in the moments, obviously we were super excited. I vividly remember the devious trade happened. It was just like this. It was the day before I was getting my hair done. I was excited. I had the bulls hat on. You feel me? And the reason was we hadn't done a big-time trade in Chicago in some time. It seemed like every trade that the bulls had did at the trade that line in previous years was selling deals, was to save some money. So we did something. We got to know how to start Call of the Player. He ain't looking like an all-star since he got here but we got to know how to start Call of the Player. I'm excited. I remember the day DeMar DeRosen ended up here. It was fun. The bulls looked good. And then we start to win and win and win. Those times are over because if you watch this bulls game, like I watched this bulls game, it is apparent that these boys do not give a damn about anything right now. There's no way you give up a hundred. I still cannot believe the number. Hold on, hold on. Let me just, let me hit the box score one more time just to confirm 150 points in regulation. Nathan Knight was averaging what one point per game before this game. He gave us 16. He gave us 16, dog. This is crazy. And you know what bothers me the most? We always get to the point where we lose. Okay, boom, we're not the losing streak. We lose two times to the New York Knicks, even though not a lot of teams this season has lost back to back against the same team. We're the only, we're one of the few teams to do that. The Pelicans did it too last week. So maybe we're in good company. Every time we get to the post-game interviews and Billy Donovan is always soon, we didn't play hard enough. Whose problem is that? How do we, okay, Billy. We've heard it for, well, hold on. How many losses do we have? We've heard it 18 times this season, Billy. At what point does it, does it not end up being that? We cannot have a roster where there's one player that will do all the dirty work. Shout out to Alex Caruso, bro. Like if we end up selling it, Alex Caruso ends up on a different team. I'm just gonna be rooting for him because he in the year and a half, he's been to Chicago, he's been amazing. He's been to Spark Plug. He's done so many great things. I love him. He cannot be the only one willing to dive on the floor for a ball. He cannot be the only one that cares about the defensive side of the ball. And it seems like he is. This Bulls team be running with the swagger of a team that be winning. They won the most amount of games in the first half of the season. Eastern Congress, it was like, oh, this is us. Bro, y'all are very far from that. When we get into a game and we go into the fourth quarter down about 10, they're like, all right, now we gonna try. Why do we have to be bad for the first three quarters for y'all to start working on some stuff? Why can't we, like, okay. I missed the times where the Chicago Bulls had a bunch of players that just cared about winning. I don't feel like that's what this roster is. And again, I have nothing to love for a majority of people on this roster. If we go heavy fire sale, Levine is gone, DeMar, Vooch, I could still be fans of these people just in different organizations. That's what I'm doing with Del Carter. That's what I've been doing a lot of remarking on. That's what I did with Derrick Rose after the trade. I could still be fans of these people. I just don't want them together on my Chicago Bulls right now. I just don't want them. And the writing was on the wall from the very beginning when the Vucovic, Levine and DeMar DeRose in minutes were a net negative in the first season we should have known. It was a minus one. At this point, I don't even want to Google what it's at right now. Last time I checked, it was like minus 6.5 net rating together. That was like a month ago when they were around 500. There's seven games under now. I mean, I'm here for everything. And if they do fire sale, I'm not even gonna be great in trades. I'm not even gonna great trades. I'm not even gonna do it. I'm just gonna sit here and accept the fact that it is. And if we do have a fire sale, guess what? I'm going to the goddamn United Center. Cause at the end of the day, if we making trades, I hope we make trades for people that play hard. Cause I don't know if we do that right now. I don't really know exactly what the market up for some of these players are. I know Alice Caruso's market is going to be solid. A lot of playoff championship caliber teams would be very, very interested in Alice Caruso. I made a prediction a month ago on my podcast. There's receipts where I said that Alice Caruso was going to end up being a Golden State warrior by the deadline. I said it. I still believe that that might be the case. I said it like a week and two weeks before Austin Reeves is limping. He is going back to the locker room. Okay. That's not a good sign, especially since Anthony Davis just went out with an injury. Okay. I said it like a week or two before the Bulls went against the Warriors. And afterwards you saw Steve Kerr talking to Alice Caruso and he said, I would love to have you. I said that before that moment. And now it feels like it's just gonna happen. I don't know what the market for Zach Lavigne is right now because he's playing some of his worst basketball in the last three or four years. I honestly do believe that he has given him problems. I'm not too worried about this being the version of him that everybody's gonna get. You know what I'm saying? I mean, it's the first 30 games after knee surgery. So it might take some time. I mean, we saw after you towards ACL, he came back to the Bulls. He didn't look great. And then we gave him that contract and then he blossomed. You know what I'm saying? So I trust Zach Lavigne's ability to get back to where he needs to be. But based on what he looks like right now in the contract we gave him, we can't trade him to January 15th, whatever. What is his market even? And does it even make sense to try to sell him now because his market might not be great? Do we need to wait until he's playing great again and be like, oh, let's sell now? I know for sure DeMarco Rose's market is gonna be good. He's on a team friendly deal to like $27 million. And some playoff team should be interested in him, especially if it's a team that already has like a star number one and he can be more of a number two. We love DeMarco Rose and we desperately do. And he's been great for what we've been wanting to do over the last couple of seasons. But definitely more suited as a number two and or three for a really, really good team. I'm just saying that Vucovic has no market. I'm prepared for Vucovic to hit free agency and walk. And who else on the roster has value? The only person that I would, or only people I would want to see stay in the Bulls Jersey for the foreseeable future is Patrick Williams and Daylan Terry. Daylan Terry doesn't even get a PC. Give him some PC. And the reason I'm saying Patrick Williams because I do believe that Patrick Williams has been dealt a bad hand. And the reason I'm saying this is because he was drafted in the COVID year. And because of that, they got no Summer League or anything. He was thrown into the fire as an NBA player. Simultaneously, the Bulls became a relatively good team. So now instead of him progressing to be the best version of himself, his progression turned into the best version of what the Bulls needed. And in that case, it was a lot of spot-up shooting slash. We're gonna try to defend the best player. I would love to see what he looks like without the trainer wheel zone of him being confined to a specific role as being at the best fourth option. So that's why I would want Patrick Williams to stay around. And Daylan Terry, we just used a pick on him this season. So I don't even know what to really think about him other than he's hilarious and he cares. He cares about the team, went in from the bench, but he cares. Anyway, fellow Bulls fans, you let me know what you think in the comment section. Let's go over some of these other games that happened today. Paulo Ben-Kero was a grown man. I think he had 22 points in the first half and it closed it out against the Boston Celts. The Celtics aren't looking like the best version of himself. Actually, that offense that was looking like an all-time great offense. And the last two weeks, it has been the worst offense in basketball. The same team that had the best offense of all time through the first month, the last two weeks have the worst offense in basketball. Obviously, that's not gonna be the case for the entirety of the season, but it's something that is surprising to me. I know JT has missed the game or two here and there, but that's still surprising. The New York Knicks continue to roll, even though I thought they were about to lose his game and continue to roll. Kevin Durant took over. What was it, the second quarter? I think it was a third quarter. He scored like 20 something points in that quarter. Honestly, KD, I didn't watch this one, but I'm gonna watch the moments, KD, because the way you hoop it right now and the way the Brooklyn Nets are hooping, we talked about a couple of days ago, you should be in the super, not just in the conversation. You should be one of the guys that are the front runner for MVP, in my opinion. The Raptors continue to struggle. I mean, I knew that this game was gonna be rough for them when Draymond Green started off three for three from three in the first two minutes. I was like, you know what? There's nothing they can really do. Jordan Poole put up a career high 43 points and it's kind of cool to see him step into the Steph Curry role, damn this seamlessly, and do some of the stuff that Steph Curry does. And this is a good sign for the Golden State Warriors go with Steph being now, I thought it was gonna be super grim. It's more grim for the Toronto Raptors because boy, oh boy, are things looking bad. They're another team that should be making some trades. But we made a video talking about the Toronto Raptors yesterday, so we're not gonna belabor it too much. Nikola Yocate had one of the greatest stat lines I have ever seen. It was 40 points, 10 assists, 27 rebounds, two steals. I cannot wait to see game score of this game. If you don't know what game score it is, it was something I think was created by Hollinger where, actually I can just show you. So according to these stats, these are the best individual regular season games of all time. Number one is Michael Jordan against the Cavaliers. In this game, Jordan had 69 points, 18 rebounds. Oh my God. Six assists and four steals and a win. That was the greatest regular season performance of all time. You have James Harden in 2018. Oh my gosh. Did I make a video going through all of these? Yeah, I probably should, right? 60 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, yep. So I'm wondering where that, the Yocate's game ends up on here. Anthony Davis's game from a couple weeks ago is the 36th greatest game in the history of basketball. Joelle Embiid's game where he dropped, well, what was the total number game, Joelle? When he dropped almost 60 with seven blocks, eight assists was the seventh greatest individual performance game of all time, Insanity. But as you see, there's no Devon Booker from a couple nights ago. So even though he had 58, it wasn't one of the best games but I think the stat line at Yocate with the steals, with the rebounds and assists, it's gonna end up in there somewhere. I just don't know where. 100% doing a video about that on one of my other channels. Hey, leave a like, subscribe, bulls fans. Hey, we here together, you know what I'm saying? One thing that's true about us is we gonna support our team no matter, well, some people would argue that I'm not really supporting them. I am though, cause I want change. That's support, that's support. Oh yeah, I'm giving myself that.
