I always thought it was interesting to see what happened with Lebron's heave statistics once Battier joined Miami. I had no idea that Durant was that low either. It really isn't a huge issue, though.

 

He had 0 heaves in the last 3 years with Miami. You could tell he was very selective with his shots and was challenging himself to shoot .600 for a while.

They should treat heaves like sac flys

At least Dunleavy was in shootaround. I remember when I was relieved when he said it was just a jam. 4 weeks later...

Kirk out with turf toe. We have a chance!!

Dunleavy is a game-time decision, and it sounds like he'll play. But we'll see

I'll believe that when I see it.

Given there are 2 games until the all star break, I kind of wonder if they'll just shut him down and be conservative. Would be really big if we were able to pull these next two out and head into the ASB with some positive momentum.

Really good article breaking down why we can't defend the pick and roll anymore.

So basically the things Boozer was terrible at on defense were more acceptable for our scheme than the things Gasol is terrible at. This is what worries me about Gasol, as Taj/Noah are no longer the closing unit, so it's really hard to get late stops without over and backs.

If he's healthy enough to play then he should play. Thursday night against against the Cavs is both important in the standings and in the season series vs them. We could use some positive momentum heading into the break.

Mike Dunleavy WILL play tonight.

Doug will never play now.. Hopefully Snell and Niko still get minutes though

More concerned with cutting down Gasol's minutes than upping Dougs.

Frustrating first half but the Bulls are up 57-49. Rose and Snell combined for 29

Rose with 16 on 7/10 shooting and 5 assists.

Butler won't return. Should sprain. It's your time Snell!

Snell responding nicely. It is great that he actually looks like an NBA player now

I thought Snell would be in dleague by now. Hilarious considering what a baby Bernstein is being about McDermott right now. Snell had like 8 straight DNP CD before this. Practice matters. Now we see how Snell looks with seasoning. He was raw as hell but you are nevr given up on with thibs.

Snell challenging Jimmy for MIP

Love that Summer League Snell!

McDermott with a nice and-1 in garbage time, Bulls win!

Thibodeau said Butler will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder strain tomorrow.

Again, Harden trade=one of the worst in nba history.
