He leads the team in steals + blocks and is one of two real players on the roster with positive DBPM. At some point we're going to have to put this "Giddey can't play defense" take to bed.

Bulls are down 3 in the 4th and I take it everyone is watching USA vs Canada?

I don’t mind these games as long as we give it up at the end.

There’s zero benefit to winning with someone like Vuc playing well.

DPBM is an outdated stat. When I commented, Kat got a dunk because Giddey didn't want to slide over despite not guarding anyone.

Hopefully we are seeing the worst of Buzelis right now and he is ready to be solid starter next season.

I don’t really understand how (or why) the Bulls are winning this game.

What a game this turned into. Knicks vs Bulls will always be entertaining.

This is the problem with the roster remaining. There’s still plenty of good NBA players. They see themselves as the 10th seed and will play hard every night whilst they have a chance of making the playoffs.

Vuc isn’t very good but he’s good enough to carry us to a bunch of meaningless wins over the remainder of the year. He should’ve been dumped because players themselves do NOT tank.

We’re going to pick 10th again.

That was first time Billy drew up a smart play but somehow Vuc got blocked

This time Billy calls two great plays back to back but the players blow it.

He’s was pretty bad especially when he first got here. Hence why he got benched a couple of times. He still gets blown by but that’s due to the limited athleticism he has. He can be a Kyle Anderson type player.

Don't worry guys, we got this (and by "got this" I mean we're definitely going to lose).
