March 10, 20224 yr Wasn't easy - but that was a strong 4th quarter (nice change from the 4th quarters they had during the losing streak). In particular they played aggressive and got to the line and winning this game despite the other team hitting significantly more 3's isn't easy.
March 10, 20224 yr Right now the Bulls go as DeRozan goes. If he scores 30+ with good efficiency, the Bulls win.

March 13, 20224 yr Caruso comes back and the Bulls limit the Cavs to 91 points. His impact is impeccable.

March 17, 20224 yr Yeah, I just don't see this Bulls team going very far in the playoffs. I don't think Lonzo or PW coming back will be enough. I don't remember the last time they beat a good team.

I don't remember the last time they beat a good team. Lavine injury is hurting them and Vuc has to get upgraded. I think they can win one round but that is it. That said - arrow is still pointing up.

If Vuc is going to provide little to no interior D, he has to give you more than 10 points vs playoff teams.

He's just too inconsistent and doesn't impact winning enough IMO. There has to be another 5 option that can pass the way they need but also protects the rim. And doesn't fall in love with jacking 3s.

He used to be able to rely on his 3 point shot against the bigger centers. He's been bricking everything this year, so when he can't get his points down low easily, he just disappears or chucks 5 3s, only to miss them all.

Not if they move him with other parts for a better player. I don't think that admits a flop - that is just a step up from your initial move. But with that said - I don't think this front office has that sort of attachment. I also think a lot of this would be different if they had a 100% Lavine and not a 70% (or whatever e is) Lavine.

He just doesn't look right when he jogs back on defense. Something just looks off.

Yeah - it’s more I think he has to conserve and that means defensively it just doesn’t work. What I don’t know is come playoff time does it look different and does he have another level that doesn’t cause his body to explode.

It's only a drop from 34.7 to 30.4 on 3's, but it sure seems worse. I cringe when he looks like he's going to launch one.
