Dalen Terry was ejected for throwing this "punch"

Prince was holding on to Terry's jersey the whole time. I assume Terry was trying to grab Prince's jersey to reciprocate.

Okay, here's what happened between Prince and Terry

I'm assuming Nikola Vucevic turns back into a pumpkin this season from beyond the arc.

Under 30% two seasons ago
Over 40% last season

Bulls will need his shooting this season. It's especially evident with Coby White & Kevin Huerter out how much the Bulls lack shooting.

If you really want to nerd out on the 2-for-1, start at the 4:00 mark of this Slappin’ Glass podcast and listen to Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch discuss 2-for-1 strategy for eight minutes.

And that’s why you have to go 2-for-1 when you get the ball with 40 seconds left in the game. If you don’t think the team can do it as a coach call a timeout and set up a play to ensure you get a shot up by the 30 second mark.

Kasparas Jakucionis did not have a lob threat to play with at Illinois, although I thought it would be something he could excel at.

He has seven assists just to Ke'lel Ware tonight

Kasparas Jakucionis making his NBA preseason debut with a steal and assist.

You'll notice he has his left wrist taped which was a little setback that caused him to missed a couple days of training camp and the Heat's first preseason game.
