Battle of the mids. This will be of great importance to Zach and Demar. I’ll almost feel bad for them if they lose.
Feel like since Vuc’s re-integration, we’re back to losing more and playing catch-up from the opening tip. Whatever bum’s matched up at C is gonna get a season-high FG%, rebounds and loose balls will be lost, offensive boards and 2nd chance points will be off the menu… while the paint becomes a lay-up drill.

Zach probably took off last night just so he can be ready for this one lol. Also don’t forget Kevin Huerter is also going back to Sacramento,will drop 30 on them.

Don’t think DeMar will care too much. Zach will desperately want the win against us though. Demar was treated great by Chicago. Zach not so much at times.

Giddey was only playing one of the back to back wasn't he?
Wish he'd play this game, he'd get what he wants with the defense of the Kings.

No Sabonis in this game.
I wonder if Jonas Valanciunas will go to town on Vuc though?
Who wants it more? Zach LaVine or Kevin Huerter?
Is Giddey playing? He's listed as GTD via ESPN website.

Might be closer than people expect then. Not a lot of sample size, but without Sabonis the Kings are only a 40% win team. We're 60% in our last 10. But is Giddey playing?

I'm actually expecting the Bulls to win regardless of if Giddey plays. The Kings aren't all that good.

I think our surge after the trade was a lot of hot air, but being Vuc-less was not. Unless you have a very special roster, it's really hard to field a good team with him as your starting center. Collins / Smith gives you a way better floor most nights.
I'm actually glad Billy put him back in the starting lineup, because he hurts most there. It's an effective way to do an analytics tank. Off the bench he's actually not that bad. He's a 20 MPG bumslayer at this point in his career.
I'm glad we have him in the lineup for the rest of the year, but that last year of guaranteed money on his contract really stings.
Really wish we had negotiated a PO for it when we signed him to the extension.

It would be a revenge game if anyone actually cared.

He is on pace for 40 points and 40 rebounds and 16 assists currently.

No one rotating to that 4th 3 by Lyles is unacceptable.

And a 20-point loss. Definitely deserves a razzie at the HOF ceremony.
