Still No Mathews

[Joel Embust]

8th seed battle.

8th seed battle.

Tank battle - turrets rotated!

[BigA]

Saw that the O/U on this was 230.5 and couldn't believe it.

[Meliorus]

Don't really like how Jerome takes Bonga's and Brown's minutes.

[nate33]

Rui continues to play well ever since his return from injury. He has 14 points, 4 boards and 2 blocks in 15 minutes with a TS% of .778.

This game would be a blowout except Chicago has had a bunch of fluke long offensive rebounds setting them up for wide open 3's.

Jerome Robinson is aggressively crashing the boards. He has 5 rebounds in 10 minutes, and he tapped another board away from a Chicago big man so that Troy Brown could corral it.

I hope the same ones writing Rui off for his defense and rebounding comment on his play since returning from injury. It's almost like a rookie just needs some time to gel and adjust to the NBA speed.

We knew Rui's bread and butter would be that midrange shot, but he didn't always know how to set himself up for it early on. But now, he looks really comfortable with it. He is getting it off whenever he wants. It's a legit weapon. You can really see the Kawhi comparison now. (On offense, not defense.)

[tontoz]

Not sure what i like more from Rui, 18 pts or 2 blocks.

[nate33]

If Bonga can just continue to get stronger and improve his catch-and-shoot 3-point shot, he could become our own OG Anunoby.

Is Troy hurt ?

Not sure what i like more from Rui, 18 pts or 2 blocks.

So far he has 2 blks, 2 stls, and 4/4 from FT line, and that is what I like.

[nate33]

We could have been utilizing this starting lineup all season.

[youngWizzy]

The Bulls are so bad lol. Good gameplan tho to keep Lavine out the game.

[nate33]

What a pass by Hachimura!

No. The tandem of Hachimura and Bonga have been killing it at forward. No need to bring Brown in the game.

[gambitx777]

Mathews is probably with the G League team.

Napier has been very ineffective in setting up the high screen. Gonna take a little time for him to develop some chemistry with our bigs.

[nate33]

Bertans is missing everything tonight. I've never seen him get so many open looks.

[nate33]

Brooks may have to bring in the starters early. No one from the second unit can make a shot.
