-

@wissox I think this mental fog is the only white Christmas we can all share

Wiggins was the consensus No. 1 ranked prospect in his high school class, and he remained at the top even after he reclassified and went to college a year early. Before his sole season at Kansas even began, he was widely considered the eventual No. 1 overall pick, having drawn comparisons to LeBron James and Tracy McGrady and even being bestowed with the nickname “Maple Jordan.”

Lol. Wish I had heard Maple Jordan sooner.
Btw to the people who think Andrew hasn’t lived up to expectations, I thought this article painted an excellent picture of a 26 year old who is still improving.
There are 3,484 players who have played at least one minute in the NBA since 1985, according to our historical RAPTOR database. Of those players, only 556 recorded at least one season with a positive RAPTOR rating on both sides of the ball while playing at least 1,000 minutes per 82 team games. Among that group of 556, just 50 did not post that first two-way positive season until at least their eighth year in the leaguee

I love Wiggs! I think he gets better as his body matures into a mans body. He’s not a dawg, but God has gifted him with multi athletic abilities and he’s worked on his shot. He’s pretty dang smooth!

Svi got some PT tonight and took advantage scoring 10. But his team got destroyed by the Cavs who scored 83 in the 2nd and 3rd quarters alone. Another amazing stat was Cleveland taking 52 3 pointers, making 22. Goodness how this game has changed. Garrett got one point for the Heat. Covid is giving our guys some PT. Joel Punished the Wiz with 36 and 13. DG had a nice game but lost with 15 points and 8 gifts. Cheick almost had a double double with 9 and 9, but JJ didn’t appear in the box score, I guess he’s in the protocols. SA blew (out) a Piston. DD can’t find PT in Chicago even with guys out. Marcus Morris is coming back after sitting out for Covid. I’ve got 3 more days and I’ll be able to begin to play again.

So glad your about to come off the Covid lol. - -What position they got you playing now? - Your such a versatile guy lol. - Who you playing for aGain wasn’t it the Wizards ?
-
No I’m playing for the bulls.

Lol ahh that’s right. I remember that now. Man seen you dunk on that Dudes face mercy hell of a play lol
-
Oubre had 18 in an easy win over the pitiful Rockets.
-
Malik Neuman signing 10 day contract with Cleveland
-
@wissox Thx. I had been wondering where he was. Found this from a site sourcing The Athletic:
Newman is averaging 17.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 27.3 minutes over 13 games this season in the G League for the Cleveland Charge.
Nice production.
-
@mayjay G League numbers seem to mean little. DDotson’s has gigantic stats, like 20 points, 7 boards, 7 assists, nearly 3 steals per game. Yet even with Covid the Bulls can’t use him.
-
Garrett like numbers tonight. 1-7 shooting 5 boards, 3 steals. Not quite over. Embiid putting up big numbers again.
-
Apparently Cleveland started 3 footers tonight.
-
It is great to see Marcus getting decent minutes.
-
If only Wiggins could be turned up like he gets playing Cleveland or his old team. He’s done nothing wrong in the league but certainly not a generational talent like he was hyped to be. I think he’s having perhaps his best season in the league with GS and it helps they are one of the best teams in the league. I’ve been impressed every time I’ve seen him this season

Mario signs a 10 day with the heat! Newmann contributes to a Cavs loss with 8 points.

That is awesome! Super Mario!
-
Quentin getting some minutes with the Knicks but they’re ugly minutes. After a debut with 27 points, he’s really struggling to score, and nearly every basket he’s made has been outside the arc. Thinking his time is short in the Garden. Rather see them giving Selden minutes.
-
BenMac had a big game against his former team (Lakers).

28 points but his team got blown out.

Wonder why Q is getting minutes over Wayne. He had at least had one good statistical year, what with Memphis awhile back?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Well I think Q is a decent player. He took his team with others of course to the final 4 last year. Wayne and him would be about even I’d guess. Not totally sure.
-
Embiid 31 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists in 30 minutes. Guy’s unreal
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Wow Josh been having himself a game against the Bucks. 24 points, 5 boards, 5 3’s made.
-
It was pointed out in the game chat that Devonte went off in the 2nd half. Ended up with 28 points and 6 assists but couldn’t beat the Suns.
-
Big game in Charlotte for Oubre who makes 9 threes and scores 32 over JJackson and Detroit who scored 15. Curry is in a shooting slump and Wigs is leading the team in scoring with only 12 in the 3rd. Embiid scores 31, but what else is new?
-
Kelly hit eight of his nine threes in the fourth quarter, part of a Hornets team record of 24 treys.
Wiggins ended up with a team high of 17 in a Golden State loss to Dallas, on the night they retired Dirk Nowitzki’s number.
As for Embiid, that’s five straight games with 30 or better.
-
Wiggins led a Curryless Warriors over a cold shooting DG tonight with 21 points. Seems like he’s the 2nd scoring option on that team.
-
Doke played 16 minutes, 2 points, missed 1 FT (surprise!) 3 boards and a block. His opponent Svi didn’t play but 2 scoreless minutes. That was his first action in a while, wonder if he was out for covid? Joel did Joel things. He has 6 30+ point games in a row.
-
Wow, Marcus Morris with a huge effort in a loss today with 29 points and 8 boards. Made 4 of 6 3’s.
-
Joel keeps chugging along, another 30 point effort. 13-13 FT’s. I don’t know enough about all the big guys in the league but he’s got to be one of the better FT shooters out there among them. Oubre might be out hopefully just Covid, but he didn’t play. Grimes had a nice game with 7 points and 6 assists.

jO jO is an Animal. Just needs someone else to help a he can’t do it by himself
-
Joel with another 3o point game, 8 in a row I believe. Wonder if his 7 TO’s however spelled doom against the Oubreless Hornets?
-
Doke finally got healed enough to play and after starting one game now is in covid protocols. He just can’t get a break.
-

Very true and the breaks he is getting right now sure isn’t helping him
-
BMac starting in Portland. 18 points tonight. Led his team. DGraham had some good numbers except for his shooting which has really been off lately. 7 boards and 6 assists. Marcus Morris scored 12 in the same games. Wiggins led his team but only 16 in a blowout loss to the Bucks. Since Klay came back his numbers have dropped a bit.
-
@wissox I played BMAC and Devonte in my Draft Kings lineups last night. Didn’t win but they both exceeded expectations last night. I went with Devonte because he had a poor game his last game, and I knew he would right the ship, and he did.
-
Wiggins scores 21 as the Warriors open up a can of whup-ass on the Bulls in a 42-point road win.
Dubs break out of their slump, aided by Chicago playing without an injured Zach Lavine. Wigs was the game’s leading scorer until they sat him early and emptied the bench.
-
@nwhawkfan heard curry hurt his hand?
-
Suddenly the bulls got injury woes. Nets destroyed them the other night too. Some guy got hurt in beginning of that one named Green and they’re missing him
-
Even Dotson played!
-
Update from yesterday, BMac 10 points, Svi, 7 minutes, zero, Grimes, 8 points, Devonte 10 pts, 4 assts, Joel, 32, and 12, but his 30 point game streak ended the previous night, MMorris, 15, 6, 5. Busy night

Short story Garrett waived, is having season ending surgery on wrist, and will be staying with the heat through rehab.

Dotson waived
The Bulls have released guard Devon Dotson, the team announced today (via Twitter). Dotson had been on a two-way contract with the club.
An undrafted free agent out of Kansas, Dotson spent his rookie season in 2020/21 on a two-way deal with the Bulls, then signed a new contract for the ’21/22 campaign. Across two seasons in Chicago, the 22-year-old averaged 2.4 PPG and 1.0 APG in 22 NBA games (6.1 MPG). He played a larger role in the G League, especially this season, when he averaged 20.1 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 6.3 APG, and 2.2 SPG in 10 contests (36.9 MPG) for the Windy City Bulls.
Dotson will clear waivers on Wednesday, assuming he goes unclaimed, and will be free to sign with any team at that time.
