Considering they have sucked for the better part of 10 years, maybe they are finally beating teams they should beat. Obviously a small sample, we'll see how they play vs Milwaukee - who has owned them for some time.Two wins over Detroit, one over Toronto, one over the Pels. Color me unimpressed to this point.

They did this last year too, looked great when they could handle the opponent, but got destroyed when it was an elite team way too often.
DeRozen is big for them. Like him or not they finally have a 'go to guy' that can draw fouls late and create.
Levine takes too many ill advised shots.
i saw derozian play in high school, did not look like a future nba player, couldnt shoot and was pushed around down low by Taylor King.For the first time in his career, Zach LaVine experienced a four-game winning streak with last night's win over the Raptors.
He's been on a lot of bad teams with the T-wolves and Bulls.
Hard to believe, LaVine is beginning his eighth season in the NBA.
I marvel at his athleticism on the offensive end of the court, but he rarely tries defensively.
Disappointing.
Love DeRozan's mid-range game.
He's old-school.
DeRozan is the one player in the NBA who looks most like Kobe Bryant, and for good reason.
DeRozan in his teen years idolized Kobe.
Unfortunately for DeMar, Kobe has five titles and he's still looking for his first.
Tough for DeRozan when the Raptors won the title the year after they traded him away.
He is Toronto's all-time leading scorer.

The pick-and-pop in a two-man game is today's version of the give-and-go.
Big guys who cannot move their feet defensively often find themselves on the bench during crunch time.
I remember Kedrick Perkins being benched in the postseason for not being able to defend the pick-and-roll.
I remember the bulls bob butterbean love chet the jet walker tom without rocky boerwinkle sloan van lier and weiss.
Chet Walker was a HS legend here.
Walker played against Dave DeBussiere in one of the best HS finals in Michigan.Chet Walker was a master at the head-and-shoulder fake, leading Bulls announcer Jim Durham to coin the phrase, Walker "puts his defender in the popcorn machine."
Great visual.
Not a fan of Lavine's game
Obviously he's good, but too often out of position on D, gets caught cheating
Don't watch Bulls much but doesn't seem to create shots for anybody. Occasional bad three, etc.
Great game tonight. Exciting to see both of these teams (especially the Knicks) be back to elite levels. Even with the inevitable Kemba injuries and looming missed time, they are very deep at the position. Randle continues to be one of the most underrated players.
His cross court passes out of post LeBron likeIf I were advising Zion Williamson, I would recommend that he watch tape of Julius Randle.
Randle seemingly continues to improve his game every single season.
Bulls did something teams seldom do. Cover B2B games in LA.
I didn't recognize Lonzo last night. At one point 7 for 9 from trifecta land.
The LA connection of DeRozan, Ball, Levine and Vucevic paying huge dividends.
