Quin Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 It's been a disappointing first part of the season, but there are positives to build on going into the ASB. Jo is looking more and more active. Gasol and Jimmy showing no signs of slowing down. Derrick beginning to attack more, pulling out the old MVP moves. Shooting less threes. Snell gaining confidence. McDermott is healthy. Dunleavy is back. Kirk is on the bench at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 QUOTE (Knuckles @ Feb 12, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) Just catching the replay and Cavs are playing sloppy. Mentally on break already. Still a good win for the Bulls, just saying. What I liked was the Bulls looked fast and energized. Offensively, we were a different team too. Excellent ball movement and great spacing and the team did an excellent job moving when they didn't have the basketball. During our stretch of losses, our offense had poor spacing & awful rotations (no ball movement). Team basically looked like the Knicks (where it was total one on one basketball). Big difference when Rose is both attacking and distributing the ball (while protecting the ball). Those turnovers we were giving up were brutal and I think they are an underrated part of why our defense (from an OPP PPG) has taken a hit as PG turnovers tend to result in a lot of transition buckets.

Rowand44 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) This Snell thing is becoming very interesting. I haven't been able to watch as many games as I'd like to so do we think he's actually turning into a real basketball player or is this just a hot stretch?

Jenksismyhero Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) This Snell thing is becoming very interesting. I haven't been able to watch as many games as I'd like to so do we think he's actually turning into a real basketball player or is this just a hot stretch? I feel like he's shot really well all season. He'd come in and drain a three or two on 3-4 shots. Now he's getting extended minutes and expanding his game beyond just being a spot up shooter in the corner. He's cutting towards the basket, hitting floaters and even making some runs in transition.

Yet another reason why it would be terrible if the Bulls FO traded him away. The guy can clearly coach and develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Bill Walton was calling the Zona game and they started talking about Jordan. Walton says if you picked a team he wouldn't stand out. He then named a bunch of centers and forwards saying they stood out more (Malone etc). Whoever was with him just said "ummm you are just picking guys by height." Hilarious exchange.
