Patriots owner Robert Kraft told reporters he's in favor of an 18th regular-season game under three conditions. - Remove one preseason game (from 3 to 2). - Add a second bye. - All 32 teams would have an international game every year. The NFL is trending towards an extended season.

@JCCCPA64 @thescorechicago @DavidHaugh Don’t you think ownership who values attendance so much in your argument would want extra games to sell out? I.e playoff games and revenue? Something this FO has not produced on

@thescorechicago @DavidHaugh What a bunch of @DavidHaugh BS. The Bulls will lead the league or finish in top 5 in home attendance again. As long as that continues, there is no economic incentive for change. The UC has to be empty for there to be dramatic change.

Those in the know have told @DavidHaugh that significant changes could be coming for the Bulls this offseason, with all types of possibilities being considered. While the future of the Bulls' current leadership is still very unclear, the decisions made in the months ahead could loom large for the direction of the franchise. "You can't embrace the status quo after a season like this," argues Haugh.

@Ball_InMyHand I was 100% sold on him till I heard his voice, dropped the stock for sure

If the Bulls are selecting at 10 and maybe even 9 depending on how the draft goes, I'm likely planting my flag here. ESPECIALLY if we don't get a 2nd 1st rd draft pick. I'm taking the Jayden Quaintance gamble

@cbefred I get you’re pointing out facts and not really debatable anything you just said, but it’s so weird how low you are on Matas. For someone that blindly believed in Okoro, Coby, Ayo, etc without ever recognizing their deficiencies, maybe give more grace for a second year player

Matas is shooting just 32% from 3 over his last 14 games on high volume (9 APG), dropping him to 35.9% on the season. An improved 3 / added strength have to be his top offseason priorities. If the shot becomes consistent, everything opens up: driving lanes, rim pressure, etc.

@JefftheGamerGuy @aa7380754464685 @ProFootballTalk Talks shit about opposing team then Immediately gets proven wrong with every point made: “Your getting super defensive take a Valium” 🤣🤣

@aa7380754464685 @ProFootballTalk I know this. Your getting super defensive and i wasn't even talking shit, just stating facts. Take a Valium and relax. Still makes no sense to rank Balt that high especially with a fresh coach

Ravens' win total set at over/under 11.5, best in NFL. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@TheDunkCentral @TheAthletic Answer is no unfortunately

“You start to question, like, ‘Dang, am I really good at basketball?’” — Rob Dillingham on receiving limited opportunities in Minnesota (Via @TheAthletic)

@KCJHoop YES

Collin Sexton just went to the locker room with a member of training staff

@mobanks10 @Ball_InMyHand Which is why the Bulls makeup even if they ever made the playoffs is a joke. We saw it in a miniature way with our play-in games. Fast break offense in high intensity/playoff games are far less common and it comes down to actually having a fluid half court offense

Also worth noting, the Bulls have largely de-prioritized half-court offense in favor of more transition shot attempts since they traded for Josh Giddey.

@Ramina1690 @LocalBullsFan The grown man that’s always in his feelings

@LocalBullsFan who do we not like

Imagine getting the nicest people ever in Bulls Nation to all collectively not like you. That’s straight dedication right there.

@KCJHoop Adam silver needs to just fine the team for being so stupid

Billy Donovan said he likes Rob Dillingham and will probably get him more minutes but didn’t tonight because Bulls have Josh Giddey/Tre Jones back, they have too many guards and they tried to use more familiarity to win. Dillingham logged 8:29.

@Ball_InMyHand I would hateeeee for this to drop the suns in the standingsss

Dawg that's terrible

The New Orleans Pelicans are signing two-way G/F Bryce McGowens to a new three-year contract, Kyle McAlarney and Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. McGowens, a second-rounder in 2022, has averaged 7.9 points and 45.3% shooting on 3s for Pelicans in his fourth season.

@KCJHoop Might be the dumbest franchise in history

Regarding Jaden Ivey DNP-CD, acting head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said he communicated guard plan to team this AM and he wanted to see Tre Jones and Josh Giddey play extended minutes with Anfernee Simons.

@LocalBullsFan True but think it’s because he is such a unique and divisive player. His counting stats are undeniable and he has real strengths to his game but his flaws are also so clear and questionable if he should really be the building block to a team.

I really hate the Josh Giddey discourse in Bulls Nation on both sides of the spectrum. Criticism = hate Praise = delusion It’s exhausting.

@TheDunkCentral Bulls are too high

@RavenNationLIVE Lindy isnt going anywhere

If the Ravens lose Tyler Linderbaum, USA Today lists potential free agent center options: • Connor McGovern (Bills) – Strong interior pass blocker, can slide to guard if needed. • Andre James (Chargers) – 62 career starts, experienced vs complex fronts. • Ethan Pocic (Browns) – Nearly 3,000 career snaps, reliable and still young. • Cade Mays (Panthers) – Versatile (G/C/T), 28 starts, ascending option. Replacing Linderbaum wouldn’t be easy but Baltimore would have options.

@LegionHoops @ShamsCharania @flasportsbuzz Yeah because players on bad teams are really going to try their hardest to get a new better guy to take their minutes

@BullsCentralPod I don’t understand after the trades you were literally crashing out how you can’t take the Bulls FO being idiots anymore and this team? Isn’t the outside negativity everyone, for good reason?

You are the outside negativity dont talk in third person

@BullsCentralYT Like what was the whole point of this then?

Sexton and Simons more minutes than Matas?
