Yes but Levert and Turner are both quality NBA players. The fact is we are starting to play some decent ball, not exceptional but decent. Zach is not 100% healthy and the transition period with new players on the roster takes time. Having said that, we didn´t play a 100% error free game. The turnovers have been a huge issue all year long. I am going to try and see if the pace for this game was quicker than the previous 2 or 3 where the turnovers were less than half of what they were last night. That would co-incide with the disparity in the numbers.
Not taking away from the game, but Turner did leave early in 3:rd and didn't return. Missing players always have effect, not necessary in the starting 5, but you are going deeper in the bench you normally would.
How well would Bulls play if they didn't have Vuc and Lavine? Would Bulls have won this game?
Win is a win and you play with what you got. Every NBA is damn good basketball player, so even if you lose MVP caliber player there is a damn good basketball player replacing him. So you shouldn't take teams lightly even if they lose top players and Bulls didn't take these teams lightly and that is the good thing.
