Unless Zach Lavine goes off for 45+ OKC *should* win this one rather easily.

I assume Dort will draw that defensive assignment in order to make sure SGA doesn't get into foul trouble.

Hopefully we see Shai and Lauri talking with jerseys over their mouths after the game.

Ugh. Watching Ferguson play is so upsetting. It's like he has lost his drive or spark or whatever you want to call it. Last season, we saw him smiling all the time. This year, he just seems down. He front-rimmed that open 3 he got around the 2 minute mark in the 1st quarter. He's just so passive. At least Dort drives.

The bulls make our offense look better than it is.

Ferguson is making me eat my words. Decent drive for the foul and made both free throws. Proceeds to hit three 3s in a row and flashes that smile. Lol.

It’s pretty obvious that he plays to his confidence level.

Oh, for sure. In these easier games, like this one, I’d like to see our guards actively looking for him to get him touches and get him in rhythm. I think that would certainly help. By no means, do I think we should cater to him, but I think it helps if we look for him some games.

Dennis just threaded the needle on these two passes to Nerlens.

That’s twice in a row now that Shai is trying to play hero ball. He just needs to settle for running a simple P’n’R sometimes.

He just keeps making me look smart

Adams has never really learned how to shield the ball from defenders when he catches it in the paint. He either pushes the ball directly in to the body of the defender or ends up flinging the ball with one hand across his body.

Felicio is worse than I realized.

Shai looks really slow on defense. I hope he can find a three point shot this offseason. Lavine has had his way with Dort.

The silver lining to a potential collapse is that I really don’t want to lose our draft pick.

Welp. It looks like the thing I feared would happen is happening.

Just gotta pray that his legs get tired in the 4th qtr since he played the entire 3rd.

We're also catching the Bulls during a time where Coby White is going on an unexpected torrid rookie scoring tear. That's three-straight 30+ games for him.

Still doesn't excuse turning our 17 point halftime lead into a 2-point deficit at the end of the 3rd against a terrible team.

Lavine is going crazy out there.

Wow last minute is taking forever.

Close one. I fully expected that last second heave by Lavine to go in.
