They're playing real well, and it's kind of weird the way the season's broken up right now.

And I was looking at that –

There'll be, after the, not the trade deadline, but after All-Star break, there'll be 27 games left.

So I kind of broke down the season for the first 27 games.

Then there's 28 games till the All-Star break, last game being Boston.

And the Bulls started off 12-15 in the first 27 games.

I believe they'll be 15 and 12 or 15 and 12 by the middle 27 games, which we're in right now.

But they're playing so well right now, obviously with a four-game win streak going on.

The offense is flowing.

The defense is better.

I mean, really, we're not a good defensive team, but it's better.

than it has been, and obviously when you're shooting the three well, which is what we've done the last four games, and you guys talked about it just before I came on, is we beat Boston at their own game shooting threes, and if we're hitting our threes, I really honestly believe we can compete with any team in the NBA, and Billy Donovan made reference to it a game or two ago in his pregame, that we have to do it together, and

If we do do it together like the other night in Boston, how do you beat us?

Because everyone can score.

We had eight guys in double-figure scoring, nine guys played, and Giddey normally scores double figures, but it's just his second game back.

He's still getting back into the rhythm of the game, not really playing his full complement of minutes yet.

And it's really going to give the front office –

pause to think and say, hey, what's really going on with this team right now?

Oh, absolutely.

I mean, he was really, I mean, personal.
