SoxAce Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 LaVine has just not been the same since injuring that ankle. If I'm the Bulls, I'd let him sit a game or two. Make Vucevic the focal point of the offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks because there isn't that much time left but they do deserve some time. People were making fun of the nets post harden acquisition as they were getting destroyed on defense. Eventually they found the right mix. Even though this ain't harden, it's a huge roster shake-up regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see this team being a super dangerous low seed if they gel in time, but I'm worried after the last two games (and very glad for pick protection).

SoxAce Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 The lack of a floor general (PG) has been exposed alot this season but it was really evident tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I ran one mock draft on Tankathon and the Bulls got Cade on the first go, Jalen Suggs on the second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 2 Straight for the Bulls - both vs. potential playoff teams. Albeit - Nets were down a couple stars. Either way - turnovers are down last few games (tonight not so much - 20 on the game)...defense much improved and 2 wins. Hopefully this is a better indication than the first handful of games...especially knowing how hard it is with all the interchangeable parts. I'd still say we still have a super limited sample size...but it sure is nice that they have won the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately now Carter turning in some good games. Had he done that earlier this season it may have saved the Bulls some picks in that trade.

bmags Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 It was an interesting game to really watch yesterday. Still very much feels like they are still working through a lot of chemistry stuff, nice to see a win again with all of that. Main reason I say that is Zach and Vuc's efficiency seems way down now that they've been paired together. Some of the rest of the team has found some groove within the offense last night, but when things falter seems like it goes back out to lavine/vuc for a tough/late shot.

bmags Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 One of my favorite games I’ve ever seen from Lavine. A true superstar like game where he made plays for his teammates, then when Toronto threatened, came in and hits layup, three pointer to put the nail in the coffin. Theis is freakin great too.

Lavine and White had 9 of the 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t even watch them right now - so frustrating. Williams so passive - White horrible - Lauri actually not bad and probably should be starting. Don’t get me wrong - Lauri had issues with his passiveness but his defense had really improved. Donovan is struggling right now too - bad rotations - too many minutes for Thad - but worst of all we went from a fun, ball moving and fast paced offense to this horrible Boylen like offense since the trade deadline - just dump it into Vuc lazy offense. God they have failed in the draft - when Lauri leaves for nothing they will be left with White and Williams from all their top 10 picks...pathetic and having given up two more picks. I had to be the downer in the room - but I am really really down on Bulls right now and this front office. Vuce in a vacuum was okay - but it was a lot of chips for a borderline all star who is at or near his prime...especially with the other guys flailing. Hoping I am wrong but after a surprising fun start - I am starting to be annoyed at what we blew our asset load on and whether the Bulls are now painted into too tight of a corner. Donovan will figure it out and maybe they just need more time plus a point guard but they need to get lotto lucky and keep this years pick!

Mark, White, and Williams - 8 points total tonight in 67 minutes. Williams with 2 points in last 2 games. And White - completely broken. One of the worst players I have seen - given the minutes. Horrendous defense, disaster point guard...and now a worthless scorer too...the one thing he did decent prior to the team getting him inside his own head for being a crap point guard.

bmags Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 This has been really miserable but this schedule has been rough. Not sure how but they need to get a serious PG upgrade, this is just ridiculous how trash that position is. Sato is a fine 2nd unit player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
