For all needing:
Damian Lillard has not forgotten how to shoot, the Bulls aren’t going 82-0, the Nets aren’t going to miss the playoffs and the season is like 2% over.
Stop drawing conclusions this early.

Player B: 8.8 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 2.8 apg, 1.3 blocks, shot 0% from three, 49% from the field career.

Outside of Joakim Noah Night and Zach’s thumb injury, this game should be a good test of #Bulls‘ interior defense. Randle is one of the tougher matchups they’ll see in the East. – 7:32 PM

Joakim Noah packed a lot into his short Knicks career. Read about the socks, cadets, anthems, PED, kerfuffle w/ Hornacek.
Also consider this as he’s being honored in Chicago:
Noah was paid more by the Knicks ($72 million) than the Bulls ($70 million)

Derrick Rose said he hopes to “Tom Brady this thing” as far as career longevity.
As for the 4-0 Bulls?: “I hear about the excitement that’s going on. I know it’s great for the city to lock in, understand they have a really good team.”
