I would donate my left ankle to one of these guys but mine would get destroyed in like 3 minutes of NBA game time.

So, Gordon, Jalen and Cody all hurt their left ankle somehow. And Bouknight probably got mad and hit something, which hurt his wrist.

Great news.

i wish it meant we'd see some Thor or something, but it won't. just means more chucking, less defense

White- Lavine- Derozan- Green and Vuc starting for Chicago

Ball- Rozier- Oubre- Miles and Plumlee starting for Charlotte.

I would put Rozier on White, Oubre on Lavine, Miles on Derozan, hide LaMelo on Green and Plumlee on Vuc.

Last time we played them I feel like we gave up a lot of open three looks to Vuc, need Plumlee to stay attached on perimeter. Bridges needs to stay down on Derozan pump fakes and make him hit contested jumpers. Oubre should be able to play somewhat okay defense on Lavine with length and quickness.

Surprised we aren't starting PJ tonight over Oubre. Seems like our depth is more upfront with Thor, Richards and PJ tonight. Setting up for some weird rotations I think.

Chicago last in the league in 3PT FGA? We just improved on defense.

Shooting a bit better today. We’re going to stick to the outgun them tactic. I guess it’s their only choice

Passed up open 3 to take contested 3, nailed it.

Dare I say it? PJ has looked good.

EDIT - I can't praise anything on here without it resulting in an immediate clanked 3.
