Well so much for Jabari Parker and Bobby Portis Jr. and B-Portis Time as the Chicago Bulls look like world beaters as they go into Barclays and gives the home team the T.G.I.F. Business with no sides as the Bulls are 1-0 in the post Otto Porter Jr. Trade.

Chicago had it going on both ends as they shoot nearly 55% from the field and 50% from Mount Vernon, NY  behind a smooth nearly 80% from the stripe...who are these Bulls? See Red led 32-27 after one and 55-48 at the break and they methodically took apart the Nets in the second half staying the course on both ends of the hardwood.

All five starters were in double figures fro Chicago including the newly-acquired Porter Jr. from #HoyaSaxa with 18 points. Lauri Markkanen had a game-high 31 points and eighteen boards as he shot 11 for 18 from the field with Zach LaVine adding 26 points. Bulls PG Kris Dunn with Bulls Brass reportedly not too sold on him yet chipped in with 14 and nine helpers.

Nets All-Star PG D'Angelo Russell led Brooklyn with 23 points and six helpers with both Joe Harris and Allen Crabbe adding 19 apiece. That Nets Squad misses the other half of leadership counting D-Loading in SG Spencer Dinwiddie dba Professor Dinwiddie at Bluedude Sportstalk.  Nets "Big" Jarret Allen went double-double with 12 pints and ten boards.

Chicago moves to 13-42 while the Nets fall to 29-28...
