Here we go as the 2k18-19 Chicago Bulls led by the Mayor of Hilton Coliseum Fred Hoiberg starts the 82-game trek in Philly. The Bulls led by Zach "Trampoline" LaVine from the "206" and Lauri Markkanen hopes to get back into "Winning Time" in an Eastern Confreence that all of a sudden looks like a Three-Trick Pony. Markkanen will be out for at least until the next month due to an elbow issue.

As for the no longer "Trust the Process" Philadelphia 76ers there time is now as they are officially on the clock after #FlyEaglesFly had a parade route thus past February. Look the Sixers are loaded and they might just get out of the east if they do not have to see the Green Team dba Boston Celtics who currently has Philly's Number. Joel Embiid (Kansas) and Ben Simmons (LSU) lead the new Sixers and they will more than a handful as the Bulls try to send a message that they will be in the mix in the East all season long.

PLAYBOOK

Bulls must limit both Embiid and Simmons from wreaking havoc both in Transition and in the half-court. They have to let them go off and cut off the water and electric on the supporting cast or make life difficult for both with double teams.

The 76ers must play their game going through Simmons and Embiid. They also have to key in on Zach LaVine as he will be the Bulls #1 option throughout the 82-game trek. No Markkanen for the Bulls will take pressure off the 76ers Wings and Front court.
