The story
The Bulls' Las Vegas over/under sits at 29.5 wins this season, but point guard Josh Giddey believes the oddsmakers are underselling Chicago's competitiveness and overwhelming size. Still, he knows he has to back up that belief on the court, according to Joe Cowley.
The story
"Every team probably says the same thing, that they're ready for a big year, but you never really know until the season starts," Giddey said. "I'm very confident with the guys we have, but until you go through adversity, until you go through a losing streak, that's when you find out where you are as a team.
The story
I don't want to say we're going to be a playoff team or whatever, but I think we're good enough to be competitive every night."
The story
Rookie Caleb Wilson added that no one on the team cares what the betting odds are, but acknowledged that he has a chip on his shoulder as a result of the low figure.
