Bulls @ Jazz. 8 PM CT
The Bulls, coming off another quality win, head down to Utah looking for another W.
Jazz are 2-8 in their last 10, with those wins having come against the Wizards and the Spurs.
Hoping the Bulls can come in and take care of business early - you don't want to get in a situation where you give the Jazz confidence because they have a number of guys who can get hot - Lauri, Clarkson, and Sexton in particular.
Hoping we can get more from our bench - could see Drummond having a big night.
Also just realizing Lauri is out with injury - certainly beneficial for the Bulls.
You gotta win the games you should win. Beating teams like New Orleans and Sacramento is great - but if you just turn around and lose to a Detroit it doesn't mean much.

Re: Bulls @ Jazz. 8 PM CT
Should be an easy win. I know people will bring up the Pistons, but normal shooting in that game and we'd have won by 14. So barring some kind of 7% from 3 or other record breaking awful anomaly, I think we got this one in the bag.

Jazz are tanking. Needs to be a win. I think the team is starting to turn the corner and get more serious.

We’ve lost plenty of these types of games before but this is a must win on the first night of a back to back if we want to push for the 8th seed.

If bulls lose this game.....
Was so excited for this game beginning of the season. Now it's a worthless game for both teams. At this point Utah is trying to lose while chi is trying to win and both have a lot of rotation mins out

You follow the jazz a bit? What exactly are they trying to do? Seems like they have some decent young players.

I'll go ahead and make a sig bet that Mikal is better by RPM this year than Zach.

Aingw pivoted to tank again at the trade deadline. Their pick is top 10 protected to OKC. Apparently he was trying to be a buyer of a star at the deadline but it didn't finalize. My guess is he's trying to add another pick to make a blockbuster trade in the offseason.
Right now the jazz have zero wings on the roster and are playing 3 raw rookies heavy mins. Their anchor like vuc is Jordan clarkson. Their one legitimate player in Lauri is out. This should be an easy win....

Sucks that Lauri is out, but should makes things a lot easier for us.

Lauri and Kessler out. Olynyk traded at the deadline, I legit had to look up who their starting center is - John Collins.
Backup center is Yurtsteven - just another guy who looked full of promise in Miami, goes somewhere else, and is wallpaper.
Our bigs have the potential to dominate. Will they is the question. Wouldn't mind the two big lineup tonight.

If Utah decides to tank again next season do you think Lauri will ask to be traded?

That would seem uncharacteristic for him. But who knows if he just takes a risk with money and declines extension, and waits for FA 2025. I doubt it as well.
There's no chance Bulls Lose this one. Clarkson will drop 30 but that's it.

I think the jazz plan is to sign him to a max extension. But if they pull a third year gutting the team, I could see Lauri trying to move. It's frustrating seeing how elite Lauri can be with competent players around him and then pulling the rug out from under him to make him create like he's LeBron. That's just not his game.

seriously flashbacks to a prior era of Bulls ball and Realgm debates.

That's about the handicap bulls have going in with the (lack of) 3 point shot. So at least the game should be competitive. Just how AK likes it

Yup. Seeing THT/clarkson/Sexton brought me back to the young helpless coby/lavine backcourt. And then them trying to force develop Hendricks right now is like when bulls tried to make WCJ a hub. History is repeating itself.
