Javonte Green has made quick impact, throws down thunderous dunk off feed from Lonzo Ball.
Ball has 5 rebounds already and has been relentless in pushing pace. – 8:31 PM

Real spark from Javonte Green here after checking in midway through 1st. Cutting layup, steal, now a pretty ferocious dunk in transition. – 8:31 PM

Looks like it won’t be a full house for #Bulls home opener tonight, but close to it. Fans at UC have to show proof of vax or negative COVID test this season. – 8:14 PM

Bulls last opened with at least two straight wins in 2016-17. That team, coached by Fred Hoiberg, started 3-0 and finished 41-41. – 8:12 PM

Zach LaVine addresses the crowd on court pregame, tells fans they have a team they can be proud of and says how good it is to see them after last season. United Center is mostly full just before tipoff. – 8:05 PM

Herb Jones has to be the only second rounder from this draft starting, right?
Hell of a compliment to him. – 7:28 PM

Malone said during the season he rarely had time to connect with Coach Pop, but he’s made sure he knows how much he appreciates the help he provided him. Pop helped Malone get a job in Cleveland w/ Mike Brown and later a job in New Orleans with Monty Williams. – 7:22 PM

Willie Green on Josh Hart: “Right now it’s day to day. But that could change. If we get an update that he’ll be out longer, we’ll keep you guys aware of it. But right now, it’s more day to day. We’ll see how he feels.” – 6:42 PM

Last season, Jonas Valanciunas was the only NBA player to average 12+ rebounds and shoot 35% from three. The Pelicans acquired him and then gave him a two-year, $30.1 million extension.
The 29-year-old will be a key piece for New Orleans going forward: basketballnews.com/stories/pelica… – 3:42 PM

Finch noted today that “Houston is probably one of the teams in the league that’s smaller than us”.
Finch said New Orleans will be more of a physical challenge: “Valanciunas in the middle is a load, whether they’re posting him, rolling him, offensive glass.” – 3:22 PM

Dads want to maximize our free time with our kids, not be spend all day trying to put together a backyard hoop. Check out the @Spalding Momentous EZ Assembly. You’ll be set up in 30 minutes or less with seven easy steps, without anyone ending up on injured reserve. 🏀 pic.twitter.com/6aq9hvCcPv – 3:22 PM
