- Pat the Designer: Host saw Matas Buzelis being much more vocal in the game, and thought Josh Giddey was too, urging teammates to adjust. at 14:03
- Pat the Designer: Josh Giddey had a rough night: 1-of-10 shooting, 0-of-4 from three, 6 assists, 5 turnovers. at 25:43
- Pat the Designer: Host analysis: the Raptors' coverage of passing lanes really bothered Giddey. at 25:39

- Host's opinion: Giddey was maybe the most disappointing part of the game, and the offense never got flowing, which was largely on him. at 5:07
- Host holds Giddey and Matas Buzelis to a higher standard than the younger players, who get a pass early in the season. at 4:22
- With the Bulls down 73-47, Caleb Wilson failed to handle a bounce pass from Giddey on a breakaway, and the turnover led to an easy Raptors transition bucket. The host said the game felt fast for him. at 12:57
- Matas Buzelis, Wilson and Giddey played in the fourth quarter of the blowout instead of being pulled. The host contrasted this with Billy Donovan last year, who would have benched them. at 14:16

- Haize: Hayes thinks about $15M feels right for Jalen Smith if he stays healthy and keeps up his preseason level. He wants a two- or three-year deal so it lines up with Josh Giddey's contract or Caleb Wilson's extension. at 5:11
- CBS Sports; The Ringer (reported): CBS Sports ranked Norman Powell ahead of Josh Giddey. The Ringer used that ranking to call Giddey the Bulls' biggest question mark. at 13:56
- Haize: Hayes disagrees with The Ringer and says Giddey is one of the few Bulls players whose game is known. at 14:06
- A host says Giddey creates open looks for teammates at a rate matched only by Jokic, and that Giddey's potential assists were higher than Nikola Jokic's last season. He blames the gap on teammates who could not hit threes. at 15:32
- A host predicts Giddey will easily score 12 to 14 points per game. He adds that if Giddey is around 10 points per game, the Bulls probably have a top-eight offense because everyone else is scoring. at 18:00
- A host says Giddey's ability to get to the free-throw line is on a big rise based on the preseason, and that it remains to be seen whether this carries into the regular season. at 18:31
- Giddey's rebounding is down in the preseason. The host's explanation is that the team has more good rebounders now. at 20:56

- Haize: The Giddey–Claxton half-court pick-and-roll (Claxton) is expected to be a backbone of the offense, but it hasn't been seen yet because Claxton is missing. Hayes thinks Claxton's lobs and putbacks will help the offense at the rim. at 17:33
- Kevin O'Connor (reported): Kevin O'Connor said the Bulls' biggest offensive problem is not Josh Giddey, Caleb Wilson or the defense, but the transition offense. at 10:57

- Pat the Designer: Pat observes that Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson haven't been closing many preseason games. at 19:50
- Haize: Hayes says Josh Giddey has not been shooting much this preseason, with only 16 shots. Hayes is unsure what Tiago is asking of him beyond getting everybody involved. at 26:23
