Chisoxfn Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 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.

chw42 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Right now the Bulls go as DeRozan goes. If he scores 30+ with good efficiency, the Bulls win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Caruso comes back and the Bulls limit the Cavs to 91 points. His impact is impeccable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can win one round but that is it. That said - arrow is still pointing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWill doesn't move the needle much either. 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.

That would be admitting their first big move was a flop. Betcha they do it anyway. Unless he's up against a midget, he gets dominated.

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
