That was because everyone knew they were taking Lonzo.

Bulls one of the very few teams that can beat the Cs from 3. They take a ton of them and have a few guys who can heat up from there. Last time it was Vuc. Today, it's Lavine and Pat.

9 mins and 3 Rebs, for Springer.
Think he comes back in?

Chicago needs to be in the hunt for a top 5 pick

This starting five hasn't dominated as they did last season. Just a very slow start to the season so far. KP's been back for more than 2 wks already.

I love it when we run after a stop.

Make your FREE throws, JT.

It feels like Tatum has been fouled .Shooting a 3 pointer more this season Then his whole career combined I hope he doesn't get injured one of these days.

Lots of experimenting and KP’s late start has definitely played a big part

C's been taking it to the rim and getting to the line.

But Bulls have 12-pt advantage from 3. Must be record low attempts in a Q for the Cs. Just 7 3PAs in the 2nd.

At least 5. Very slow start to the season by them so far. Which is true.

This team has had so many crappy shooting performances this year than last year thus far. Once again shooting it very poorly 42.9 percent.

Just expected they'd hit the ground running once he came back since chemistry from last season already there. Our five with Horford has been so much better so far, thank god. Plus PP-led bench has come in and saved our asses most games.

These guys are just not shooting it well. Those are just facts. The Jays shot it well last year and their fg percentages are down this year. Hope they start to play better.
