See Red Fred

There were some very nice defensive moments from Wilson-Swain-Sellers at the end of the 3rd. Sellers really had himself a game tonight…very, very good in that 3rd quarter.

@Sparagi I’d give Swain 5% of their total time before we make any conclusions.

@cbefred Swain looks like he’s getting an apartment with Dalen Terry and Julian Phillips!

Sending this team to Vegas without a true point guard may not have been the best idea. I don’t think it’s helping Swain’s development. Hard to believe they’re starting him at PG again. Hopefully he’ll get a chance to play off guard in the 2nd half.

There were reasons why he fell though. Haliburton’s camp steered certain teams away in 2020, and Haliburton later confirmed he asked teams like Atlanta and Cleveland not to draft him because they already had young point guards. I have no problem with reminding the fanbase how awful AKME was. Far too many don’t see how awful they were. kingsherald.com/draft-news/202…

The whole Halliburton is becoming overplayed. Yes, the Bulls screwed up by not taking him, but so did A LOT of other teams that passed on him. Halliburton went 12th overall. It was a weird draft due to COVID. Time to move on

The Red Leviathan Impresseth….

@Chi_sports87 Lost confidence, should have never played point.

@cbefred I’ve seen at least 2 nice passes from Wilson to Swain and Swain just didn’t go up for the dunk/layup what is going on?

I’ve watched a lot of bad basketball over the years, but this might legitimately be one of the worst games I’ve ever seen. Just brutal. Patrick Williams would make this game more watchable….that is how bad it’s been.

@ESPN_Rams_Takes @Ryan21670939033 Because he’s been put into a role that he’s struggling in, and it’s effecting his confidence.

@Ryan21670939033 @cbefred Same thought

One good thing about Noa…he’s received some of the most friendly whistles I’ve ever seen for a player who hasn’t done anything yet. This is a skill…I think.

@JCowleyHoops I adjusted my position subsequently.

You can ... on the TV ... he has not had a good night. Stop.

Did Noa get benched to start the 2nd half or is he hurt? @Will_Gottlieb @JCowleyHoops

@BullsLead @Nbafanatic2391 Coming from the biggest Rob Dillingham / Noa Essengue backer I know, this is precious blathering.

@Nbafanatic2391 @cbefred Haven't even gotten into how he can't shoot. Which apparently is supposed to be an easy fix. And that's funny because Chicago fans have criticized the roster for yrs for not having proven shooting. We need to be serious and truthful.

You can see Swain growing more confident with every MPG.

This is an accurate assessment of the first half, and it’s continuing into Q3.

@Nbafanatic2391 Isn’t that the lowest possible bar to cross for a lottery pick?

Noa Essengue is getting rotation minutes this season. Book mark this. #Bullsnation

@cteevan1 @Nbafanatic2391 You can say that about every basketball player on the planet at one time.

@cbefred @Nbafanatic2391 Fred he threw the ball directly to the other team earlier.

I know its early but not impressed with Swain at all. Like what is his strength? #Bullsnation

I’d be fine if we cut Kennedy Chandler with 2:58 left in Q2.

You can see Swain losing confidence with every MPG.

I don't want to panic, but what if Swain is a bust 💔
