What to Watch For •   Tonight is the final preseason game before the Bulls tip-off the regular season against the Atlanta Hawks on December 23rd. What that means is they can either (1) go balls to the wall and start Cristiano Felicio at point guard or (2) play this thing as close to a regular-season contest as possible.

Balancing Offense v. Defense, Making a COVID-Free Trip to OKC Today, LaVine Disrespect, and Other Bulls Bullets Seeing NBA highlights across my social media timeline again feels like putting on a sweater right after it comes out of the dryer – so damn good. •   Bulls fans far and wide would probably agree that, if forced to pick, the team has more potential on the offensive side of the ball. I would agree with that assessment. I trust the Bulls backcourt defense as much as I trust Pinocchio’s cousin Petenocchio (the one who never learned his lesson … and, yes, I made that up). Coby ...
