Bulls vs Nets @Barclays 12-4 7pm 

Post#1 » by bearadonisdna » Fri Dec 3, 2021 11:38 pm

Preliminary matchups:

Vuc > Aldridge
Djj < Durant
Derozan > Bembry

Lonzo < Harden
Zach > Mills

Coaching : Donovan > Nash
This I’ll give it to Donovan . He is coach of month and direct competitor .

As on most nights the bulls have an advantageous amount of positional advantages .

———————————
1st half rotation;

Vuc-18 Bradley -6
Djj -16 Brown -8
Derozan- 12 Ayo-6 Brown-6

1.Lonzo -18 Zach-6
2. Zach -12 Derozan -6 Ayo-6

1st option Zach. You don’t like the idea of any Brooklyn guard being able to guard him . Also there’s reasonable discussion to be made for vuc. Hitting him high and low can open things up for everyone else. Also hard to say vuc when Zach and Demar are 1a and 1B in the whole league in points ! Good dilemma to have . Which #1 scorer should I feature today ? :lol:
Even James harden is less FGM per 100 than vuc.
As per usual I would like to compliment big 3 play with high level point guard play which would be Lonzo.

I was thinking the same, but then I remembered that they have Harden too. So I am thinking Zo starting on Harden, and DJJ on KD. Ayo is going to have step up big time, both offensively and defensively, because I agree that Zo will need to spend some time guarding KD.

IF we split with BKN I am not going to cry. Would be nice to beat them and we have been in NY so we should have good rest.

Go Bulls! I actually predicted top 4 finish this season. But this game would go a long way to moving up to a place where Home court advantage would be critical in later rounds of the playoffs. Taking down the Nets would prove to your team, and expand their confidence that a top 3 dare I say top 2 finish is realistic.

I doubt DJ starts as the 4, Donovan finds him to crucial as a center. Billy seems to trust only 2 people to play the 5 and that's a critical role.

If Caruso is out, likely loss.

At least the Nets will be on back end of B2B (albeit they're at home still). Hopefully some of the older guys there are a little slower tomorrow night. If I'm the Bulls I might think about running them out of the gym early.

Nets on a back-to-back and they ain't no spring chicken.

Just need to be aggressive from the start to stamp some authority on them and to hit then mentally.

Just watching the first quarter of Nets Wolves. Wolves playing with a lot of energy and have a lead early.

If we play with energy and speed then I don't think Brooklyn can keep up with us

One thing I thought of is having off ball picks .
Mainly the PF picking off Zach or Demar guys for easy looks and reads from the point guard.

A lot of what we see now is Zach and Demar creating on their own which shows it’s very natural but imagine if we could get them offense systematically .

How many national TV games have we been on so far? Feels like we're never headlining.

Brooklyn won which is good so they won't be so hungry tomorrow and it was a close game down to the final minutes. Could get some tired legs from the nets come the 4th.

We swept L.A, we'll sweep N.Y.

The Bulls need this win for league wide recognition.

Win here would be huge. Gonna be rough without Green and possibly Caruso simply because of how poor our depth will be

I'd rather the Nets win a close game as opposed to losing and coming out with more urgency tomorrow.
