NBA Season 2016-2017

Oh wow I didn't realize that Butler had 40 points last night (and Wade 33).

I don't blame them for being mad. 73 combined points and they still lost...

No one else for the Bulls stepped up at all...

Starting to think I might have undersold Butler by calling him a Premium Brand Ricky Davis.  He's been pretty great this season individually, though I still don't see him as someone to build a team around... and it seems Chicago doesn't either if they are continuing to listen to offers.   I would rather keep the 2017 Brooklyn pick, but I worry a little about one of our future rivals snagging Butler. 

It might be time to start calling Butler a Luxury Brand Ricky Davis.  Like... he's still just Premium Brand Ricky Davis, but it also includes Truffle Oil so it's like... way more swank.

Yeah continues to elevate his game. He is even playing a few less minutes per game than peak thibs time and has best numbers.

I view Butler as a very nice #2 piece on a championship team (especially with his elite two-way play), but he's not the alpha on any team honestly.

He is for the Bulls now but they are struggling to keep the 8 seed in the East (and last season they missed the playoffs)

You are not alone, i thought he was a slight upgrade from Crowder.

He was hurt a lot last year and that team is truly horrible outside of him. He completely completely carries them.

He was arguably their best player when they won 50+ games 2 years ago and put something resembling a fright into the Cavs. Since then he has gotten way way better.

Crowder has been terrific, though.  14 points, 5 rebounds with 49%/42%/90% shooting is pretty outstanding if he can keep it up for a season.   Crowder is like the 4th option on our offense, though.  You add Butler and presumably both he and Thomas take less of an offensive role than their current situations.   Would Butler be as efficient as Jae playing next to these guys?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Alternatively, how much greater would Crowder's role be if he swapped places with Butler in Chicago?  How much would his efficiency take a dive?

Ouch.

Jokic is such a stud. If he were in a major market more people would realize it.

Wow, minutes after saying that I think he tore his knee. Hopefully not, but it's non-contact so that scares me.

I hope not, that would probably take Nurlic off the market for now, and would be a real shame for Jokic's career.

Doubtful. His knee buckled as he was defending the drive. I was watching the Nuggets broadcast and it was pretty evident.
