Drummond continues to be better than Vooch.

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.

Ayton is one of the few bigs that is softer than Vuc.

Its irritating. Im not mad at, if he is wide open and the shot clock is wearing down. But he has taken plenty this season, after one pass and he just launching it. :banghead:

That game wasnt pretty at all. Blazers hung around and they were terrible for most. We couldnt really get in any flow. Not because they were playing amazing defense either. It was just a meh game.

The only real bright spot was Phillips. He was excellent in his stints.

Really liked what I saw from Julian Philips. Has the size to match up with most forwards, the length to help bother centers (in spot minutes anyway, he needs to bulk up), and the speed to keep up with smaller guards. Decent finisher around the basket too. Plays more in control than Terry, and has a much, much better 3pt stroke.

Glad Billy finally figured out that Drummond + Vooch together ain't it, and he played them to try to counter Grant and Ayton lol. Play the forwards you do have - next man up and all. It's fine, you don't need to go small all the time. Play your forwards and Caruso can go back to terrorizing the other team's smalls.

The one positive was some great plays from Phillips. The "Karch Kiraly" block was awesome.

I agree about Vuc-I think his overall game looks fine (same as before) but his 3 pointer is KILLING our offense. Shoot it as a LAST resort, just chucking it up with 15 seconds on the shot clock

Great game overall.

Our Guards should be White and Caruso. Ayo can backup both well.

Another thing-that Port first doesn't look promising-2028 is a long way away and I know Sharpe didn't play, but they suck

dude seemed to have a proclivity for rotating to defend the rim. makes me think he's going to be a much more natural 4(/smallball 5?) than pat has been
