It's so insane that he's actually 7th in the NBA in RAPTOR WAR and he's done that playing less than 30 minutes a game. Honestly - I could just watch a game that literally just followed Caruso around on camera playing defense. His defensive game is so special. I have no idea how sustainable it is on the long-run but just such a talented defender and I'm so glad the NBA has adjusted the foul calling to allow real defense to be played again. I will caveat - Ball is also incredibly fun to watch play D as well, in particular watching the two of them play together and switch on pick and rolls and play off eachother is an even better watch. If you can't tell - I love love love watching this team (partly because my brain was so toxically broken from the past couple years sets of Bulls teams).

chw42 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Bulls getting out-hustled tonight when Brooklyn is playing in the 2nd game of a back to back. They really miss Caruso on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Great win again. DeMar was MJ-esque again in the 4th. Lonzo hit a huge 3 after missing all night. Ayo was absolutely amazing. His energy brought the Bulls back after they were down by double digits in the 3rd. 2-0 against the Nets, although we caught them both times on the last game of a back to back.

DeMar evoking mid range memories of Chet the Jet as well as MJ. But Chet was more of a post up PF. If you're too young to remember, you missed some fun teams. I'm on Cloud Nine, keep it up Bullies.

TheTruth05 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Really hope this hammy isn’t a lingering thing for AC. Really impressive they won today without him most of the game. Just gotta hope it was more precautionary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 It really sucks they only got Ayo on a 2 year deal instead of the typical 3 year. That's a bigly mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we keep talking about the teams attitude, but DeMar, with the hot hand, could have kicked to Zach — a little less open, but the high scorer. Zo makes the three and the whole team goes wild. Including Zach. They just want to win and support one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Hope all the guys that came down with COVID get better. Tough to have so many guys out. If we are lucky - Demar had a false positive and will be back quickly, if not at least there are only 6 games in the next 2 weeks. Caruso out for the next week (at a minimum as well). Got to be careful with that calf/hammy. Don't want this to turn into a full season issue. But no: DDR, White, Green, Caruso, Williams (longer term)...that is 5 guys who were rotational pieces (and obviously 2 key pieces) out right now.

Get well soon Stacey. I hadn’t realized this but Stacey Kings brother died from Covid. Hopefully Stacey is vaxd and has mild symptoms (since it seems there is some hereditary nature to Covid severity). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Wow - that game was fun. Damn this team is fun. Lavine was incredible tonight. Defensively, offensively, he passing. Super super efficient…just special. Ball defense was unreal and he put up a double double with 4 blocks and 4 steals!!! And Ayo was fantastic after that slow first quarter. Vuc rushed his shot but did well on d against Jokic. This team is so athletic and fun to watch in transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 0 steals but he should've had 4+ the way he created turnovers off guys (lots of times the ball bounced off a guy's leg or hand out of bounds).
