🗣 Bulls fans — Matas looks like he’s taken that leap we’ve all been waiting for.

Ajay Mitchell has most improved on lock right now.
Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis might be the future but neither is a dominant alpha star. Nobody on the bulls is a superstar. Nobody is going to lead this team to a championship.
Matas buzelis went from 4th most likey to 1st most likely Most Improved Player Award after the game against SAC
4-0!!!!! See Red Nation Stand-up!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💯💯💯💯😎😎😎😎 Caroline!!!!
Wasnt expecting them to be this good!😅 Super pumped for the Bulls
Can’t wait to play the next few games. It’ll be a really good test for us to see how good we are. Coaching has been great. I think that’ll be the deciding factor, and Wemby.
I wonder if the Hawks would rather have Tre Jones @ 8 mill a year or Trae Young @ 46 mill a year?
I’ve been a Bulls fan for so long. All I know is Billy D got them Ballin like basketball is supposed to be played. Ball sharing and defense. Everybody’s working everybody’s touching the ball and everybody’s happy.Dats my bulls!!!
I agree. I can’t wait for GMs to admit their mistake in passing up on Matas and letting him slide to 11th, where he was picked by the Bulls.
the very same people that the kings got rid of for zach, are the very players that beat them. jones was the key to this whole trade.
Giddey and Matas look like an All Star duo in the making. Mad improvement from both players
Love the growth from the whole team Billy’s coaching and team first mantra has been collectively taken up by the team. Ayo said in an interview that it feels like a brotherhood and as a fan you can see the connection. Lastly Vooch looks reborn in his role dude has turned back the clock . Love the spirit and spine of this years bulls. See red
No he hasn't, he just played well against very bad defenders.
Haize I’ve been here from inception and I have to say your growth in skillset is remarkable, the edits, the consistency. Keep going sky is the limit 👏🏾
arrived? He's been this good but the team and league was just slow to recognize it cuz they're all so busy with all their cooper flagg politics.
Listen to me the bulls Showed up and Showed tf Out Night against the Kings this team is soo good we 4-0 without Coby white thats Scary.. I love how Matas Buzelis don't back down from Nobody his confidence is thur the roof …🔥 Bulls let's go!
Near triple double offensive stats plus defense? That's an all star stat line at 25 mil a year.
I personally think that Billy Donovan is running the Bulls like his college team fast pace up and down the floor get great passes get everybody involved. They don’t have a lot of half court killers. Everything works together as a team.
If Giddey makes the All Star game, he will be a strong MIP candidate too
The next few games is the real test, we facing the toughest teams in the league for the next 4-5 games which I think will be the real gauge for our teams potential record. I hope we come out on top🔥 go bulls!
I really hate this generation that OVER hypes everyone. Just let Matas grow and develop, we see the potential.
Litty Giddey was a absolute steal bro 💯
Redhead Kev is a must resign 💯
Giddey is a selfless player❤
Hey my guy for making a jump is Dalen Terry but I think when Julian pops into the game for a few minutes, he is makes solid contributions. That’s hard to do. I really like what he brings to the floor.
I think Tre Jones should keep his starting spot when Coby’s fit. Coby off the bench 🔥
I’m paying close attention to this young man he can be an offensive Scottie Pippen
I can see us having two players of our bench competing for sixth Man of the Year Trey Jones and ayo
I agree it's still really early to be considering any awards candidates but I'm just going to enjoy myself and I was generally surprised on the hot start but it's definitely a welcome surprise 🎉
If Matas can win us the next game and take us to 5-0 then he’s forsure arrived.
If he can atleast make it a close one and score 22+ then he’s on a good path to success.
Keep in mind. It was the Knicks that gave the Bulls their first loss back in 21-22 when they originally went 4-0 then.
If they can overcome them this time. Then for sure this team will be good this season.
Hey Haze… I heard that Josh is the first person since Jordan to have a double double in 3 of his first four games in the season, and only the second ever in the NBA. This doesn’t sound right. Can I get a fact check on this. It’s pretty obscure but just sounds like a common stat. Maybe it’s a combo of scoring and assists or something. I know wemby has already done that this season for shooting and rebounds. Maybe it’s for the bulls. Even that sounds wrong.
