Even it's just a pre-season, we can see that the new Bulls roster are comfortable with each other. There seems no problem building the chemistry. It's like they are teammates for long. No issue, no drama but just playing basketball.

This is what you would expect when you put up a team of players that are not ball-hogs and has good court vision. This team could end up third behind Bucks/Nets after the regular season. It would be awesome if they could upset either of them in the playoffs.

Early to tell about they could end up third behind bucks/nets after this regular season since didn't see the real action yet, maybe they are in good shape right now but the question is could they sustain that chemistry up to the play-offs? Many sudden change and expected things will happen and perfect example to show is the Suns last season. But its good to see how they do well on pre-season so lets see if they can prove that they are a big deal now this season.

Anyone watched the Bulls' past 3 games this preseason?

The chemistry is there, the way they communicate, they literally have 4 highflyers in the court, LaVine, Caruso, Ball and Derozan, the best part here is not their vertical though, it's how they pass the ball, Lonzo and Caruso are great all-around players and can definitely be productive on the court.

If that relation will maintain, they will have a good run in Eastern Conference. I see them finishing at least on top 5.

Probably what they need is to be consistent. There seems to be games that they are the favourite, but they cannot live it up and lose in the end. But this year, it was it was total upgrade, getting high caliber players to get them over the hump. Yes, probably they will be in the bottom half in the East and it will be close for the 4th-8th spot position. Zach needed a lot of help in the last two seasons and it seems the management has given him good talent now. Just needed sometime for the new players to really blend and find the perfect combination.

I'm not rooting for the Bulls though since I love GSW but judging on the Bulls' last 3 games, they look like a powerhouse team indeed, chemistry-wise, and potentially, also, let's not forget about Derrick Jones Jr. as well, so they technically have 5 highflyers on the court, we're gonna be seeing a lot of beautiful plays from this team this season, and that is if they'll all be healthy, the Bulls sure do look like a playoff team, the potential is there, consistency comes next.

^ They have proven already when they went straight to the finals during the bubble. No one expected them to be that good that year, but they upset teams in the East that time and give the Lakers everything they can handle. Most of the core players are still in Miami, intact, it's that last season they are inconsistent in the regular season. So we will see how's Lowry addition to the team will help them achieved their goals again to reach the finals, they are one of the underrated team this season that can pull a big surprise.

Of course, the Heat with Lowry and Butler can impress fans. However, look at the Heat's results in the last playoffs. They lost to the Bucks in the first round without any chance. Therefore, it isn't surprising that many don't expect that the Heat will be able to reach the final series this season.

It was a different Miami Heat last season, it seems that they are drained from the previous years season going against the Lakers. And then we have Bam and Butler getting injured, Herro and Duncan Robinson shots where not falling, so there are inconsistent last year.

Hopefully they have figured it out what's missing last year, they have Ariza and Nunn, but it wasn't there, no chemistry.

I was surprised they got swept by the Bucks, actually, I thought they would be able to beat the Bucks in the series, but what a big bounce back by the Bucks for avenging their previous season's loss, so I guess the Heat would not allow that to happen and they would also avenge their previous season loss if they will face the Bucks. I'm excited about the coming season, I believe that Miami will have a good regular season and their ranking will be in the top 4.

Bones Hyland. What a great performance for this guy with 18 points in a quarter although the Denver Nuggets still loss the game in overtime.
1st round pick 26 of the 2021 Draft. He obviously has a future if he will keep on performing that good or better. Take advantage of the minutes that will be given to him as much as possible because the Nuggets is also packed with good roleplayers.

Michael Porter Jr. is also sharpening his shooting skills and he showed it on the floor. Then, Nikola Jokic with 1 rebound shy for a preseason triple-double. What?! Cheesy

Not expected, but like it's been mentioned, they can bring surprise the same way they did last bubble.

We will see the actual impact once the regular season start, Lowry is an all star and knows how to blend his game with anyone.

It's more on Butler. I guess knowing him way back from all those teams he played, hopefully he won't see a threat from Lowry

and they will good chemistries.

I don't think that the Heat will win anything.

They will definitely make the playoffs and be a good regular season team. But they simply don't have that x-factor to push them over the edge when it comes to winning the conference finals/finals for instance.

Lowry is a good pickup but he's older now. He will be a gel guy for sure but chemistry was never the issue.

You do not need to be the favorites to make it to the finals anymore. Suns were not favorites, in fact they were not even in top 4 I believe, and they still made it to the finals, or Bucks seemed like a good ideal candidate to finals and they made it as well.

So, you could be the favorites or you could be a lot worse and all could be in the finals. Miami themselves made it to finals just year before and they were not favorites at that time neither. All in all you just need to put yourself in the right position and if you are good then you could make it to finals. However favorites usually end up winning the championship if they ever make it to finals, that's for sure, but even in that case Toronto which was not seen as favorites even before the season started ended up beating Warriors that were seen as unstoppable team all due to injuries.

Man, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons are really getting hammered on social media today. There's a rumor going around that one of the teams offered the other a straight up trade and twitter is laughing at the idea of trading one problem for another.

It was also reported that Ben Simmons has packed up his home in Philly and will be putting it on the market for sale in the coming days/weeks. I think it's safe to say we won't see Ben Simmons suiting up in a 6ers uniform again. I'm not sure why he isn't in Sacramento yet... Philadelphia must be holding out for more than they were offered, which is hard to believe when the other option is getting nothing.

Lowry is gonna be a very good addition to the team Heat. I think that he can make a very good duo with Jimmy Butler. Lowry has scored 17 points a game last season with the Raptors and got about 5 and a half to rebound each game which is some decent stat. Considering Heat needed a better Point Guard and Lowry can fill in that role very good although he has aged, I'm curious to see how many seasons we will see him with the Heats.

Lowry can help Herro the same way Jimmy and Bam guide this kid, Miami has a decent roster now after acquiring Lowry.
He can manage the playmaking and let Bam and Jimmy to score. his numbers way back from Toronto are very decent he
don't have any problem playing whoever beside him.

I watch a video clip of him saying that he loves helping. He's not after with his own fame but always for the best of the team.
Regular season is more exciting to expect now. The east is also upgrading to make sure that it's not an easy journey for the
west after winning the conference finals.

PC Tucker is a defensive specialist, he can guard anyone on the floor and not only that, he also brings energy when it's needed.

I see the offense is not a problem with the Heat.

The following players could provide consistent offense if they are healthy.

1. Bam Adebayo
2. Jimmy Butler
3. Tyler Herro
4. Kyle Lowry
5. Duncan Robinson
6. Victor Oladipo

I think with the current roster of the Heat ,they can avenge their bad playoff series against the defending champion.

It must be a type, it should be PJ Tucker. Well, no doubt about him, he already had his first championship, so he will be more confident, this guy could defend Durant which is way taller than him, so there's no one he cannot defend. Victor Oladipo is a good addition to the team but I'm more concerned about his health, so hopefully this season he will be able to play the whole season and stay healthy, he is much needed in the playoffs.

I don't know how Lowry is during practice sessions and in the locker room but he better not show an ego of a NBA Champion for this pair to work. Jimmy is tough as hell but it shouldn't be a problem if those two would push each other in a professional manner.

Heat's problem is a reliable point guard, with Lowry in the lineup, I think they will have a good ball movement and they can pretty well compete this season. What we are seeing is just a preseason game, it's too early to conclude, but I'm hopeful that what success Lowry builds in Toronto will be carried over to his new team.

And maybe that's the reason why Lowry chooses Miami of all other teams that he can move. Because he knows what's lacking on Miami and he could fill the gap to become their point guard, distribute the ball, that's how he has been with Toronto and he is very effective.
And now that he can share the experience with Miami, and he could be a offensive threat too. So hopefully this will translate and carried over to Miami and bring them to the finals again, although the chances might look slim because of teams upgrading as well.

With Butler and Bam, I think Lowry will easily fit himself, acknowledging his rule inside the team.

We know how good coach Spoelstra, he can blend good players and since it's not just Lowry who's been added to them but also Oladipo, Tucker and Morris, a great addition with both offense and defense.

They might have slimmer chance as teams also upgrade their respective rosters, but the chance still there for this very competitive squad.

Of course, they are more competitive because they acquired Lowry who is already a veteran and has championship experience. Bam would never have a hard time scoring anymore as they have a good point guard, things will be easier for the coach as they have Lowry who has a high IQ in the court.

Kyle Lowry who averages 17.5 last season would be a big help if he carries that score and it's not necessary to maintain that, what's important is to manage the play very well as the Heat is not only a good team defensively, but offensively as well.
