I don’t think so he collapsed the defense.

Although I think that lineup had too many ball handlers

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

So far

I was liking what I saw from simonovic he got sat don't know why

Pwill is going to be a good pf and I think he has gotten taller be looks 7ft out there

Dotson is showing me why he couldn't get any minutes last year he has tunnel vision

PWill doing a little of everything. I love it.

They better start to defend better now.

Ayo or Dotson need to come off the bench guard play needs to be balanced

Ok, mixed bag for Williams in the 1st quarter.
Shittu is big and active, if limited.
Simonovic was fine.
Constantly underwhelmed by the Bulls.

The announcers just commented on Lavine's good defense (I am a couple minutes behind due to pausing the game).

It's amazing what one trip to the Olympics does for a reputation.

What is with these rotations? Are Ayo and Simonovic on minute restrictions? They've played like 6 minutes in this game.

Why are these scrubs getting so many minutes? I want to see actual Bulls players.

I'm also a little behind from pausing the game, but happy to see Patrick going for his shot. Just need people to not stand and watch so he can dish it off in case they find themselves open for an easy layup.

PWill is definitely being more aggressive than we saw in his rookie year. The results are very mixed, but he's out there working on his game. Thats all you can ask for.

I like that they are getting Williams handling the ball coming off a pick at the top so that he can make decisions in the middle of the floor.

Spellman has had a few nice blocks, although 1 was called for a foul. He's been our best defensive big imo.

Agreed. Counted 3 times he got into trouble after driving into traffic, but it's progress.
I'm kinda underwhelmed with Dotson so far, thought. And not good minutes from Bey so far.

Would like to see more energy from Patrick. He's doing some watching and not getting into good position for rebounds.
