I dont care about the season hes having TBH with Demar. Zach is the best player on this team and will be their best in the playoffs when it matters IMO

Back end of a b2b without Draymond/Klay/GP2? Crazy embarrassing for the Bulls. This was a lock win for them.

Far from a lock. Bulls are without Lavine, Caruso, Patrick Williams, DJJ, Javonte Green.

But yes embarrassing.

As soon as Lavine went down I thought this would be a blowout, as they need Lavine And Demar together to be really competitive against the top teams. I just didn't expect it would look this one-sided.

Not even close. The line was 2 points and that's before LaVine left 2 minutes after the game started.

Dubs are missing a bunch of guys also, so missing Lavine is just an excuse.

Franc Wagner is great, but needs to take it easy with the refs, he makes Luka look tame.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

Just caught a few minutes of the Boston Philly game.

Boston's game really is just iso dribble for 20 secs, can't find a shot so hand off and hope for the best.

Tatum and Brown just don't want to share the ball around. Must be brutal for a C's fan.

The fact that Kerr has Kuminga buried on the bench in favor or far inferior players is really stupid. He will probably bury Wiseman on the bench when he returns as well, just so he can play scrubs like Bjelica, Lee and JTA.

Dubs are deeper than Bulls. Bulls missing Lavine is just a death knell for them.

Draymond is far more important to his team then Lavine is to the Bulls.

Bulls should be blowing this team out right now. Thats not even mentioning Klay. Curry has also been shooting worse then Westbrook in the month of January.

Nope, don't agree. Lavine and Demar putting up almost identical numbers, and Demar is in MVP discussions.

Bulls are completely dysfunctional without Lavine. If Iggy and others elevate (as is happening in this game), missing Draymond can be mitigated against more than missing Lavine. Bulls have no one to fill that void.

The Bulls offense revolves around them. They've been pretty bad when missing either one

This is a typical Demar Derozan led team implosion

Based on the results of this game, what you're saying is clearly not true.

The Warriors wouldn't be winning by 30 if Draymond was so important.

Wow the Hawks look so much more engaged. DeAndre looks solid already. It’s amazing some people thought Cam was the better prospect.
