PG: Bulls - Nice Win 

Post#1 » by MickeyDavis » Tue Nov 14, 2023 3:28 am

It’s a game of runs. Bulls made theirs, we slapped them back.

AJJ/Ajax/Dre was fun to watch. Looking forward to more. He’d have been buried on Bud’s bench.

MarJon had a nice game.

Giannis was Giannis.

Bobby with a double/double. +24

Khris played well but that lingering minutes restriction has to be a concern.

No concern about Dame. Last seasons splits on TS%

November - 53.5%
December - 63.5%
January - 67.0%
February - 68.5%

Then he got hurt and they tanked.

Obviously still things to work on. I’ll enjoy the win.

23-4 the last 27 vs the Bulls.

Giannis: “Nothing. Just get a ring now.”

Don't agree with this take, MD. Bud played Donte lots during his first year. He would recognize that Ajax can play and would definitely have him out there. Our coach doesn't really understand lineups, rotations, or really anything so he has Beasley and Patty out there doing regular cardio.

Another game with really strange minutes distribution. Still can't figure out what Griffin is trying to achieve with this.

Also, Midds slightly regressed again on minutes (under 20), but looks amazing when he's on the floor.

Some of you are bummed by the win, thinking losses mean a coaching change. No guarantee of that. Enjoy the win guys. The pre Giannis dark days were filled with hoping for losses.

Good run by the youngs.

Dame looking like that contract is gonna suck more than it was already gonna suck at the end of it.

We're not going to miss Jae Crowder. He's not a difference-maker.

I'm not concerned with Khris, but I am impatient and want him playing full minutes, damnit.

Our rebounding still a big problem. The Bulls with 18 offensive boards.

We let through way too many 2nd chance points this season. No one but Brook knows how to box out, and then when Brook is boxing out, no one is there to take the board.

Why can't Dame make his shots? I don't get it

I had to check if Dame raised his percentages after this game.

Maybe. Donte only averaged 15 minutes in 27 games as a rookie before getting hurt.

I like they we're starting to use the right schemes with the right players. Griffs scheme was actually executed tonight, and it was successful. There was communication and anticipation. The deep drop got cooked.

I want to not be concerned but I feel like this level of micromanaging just isnt that normal. Like, Giannis also had a knee procedure over the offseason and he's out there playing normal minutes.

The thing with Khris reminds me of 2014 Wade.

No worries, he's a chronic slow starter.

Going to be hard for Dame to find rhythm with this calf injury. He doesn't look anywhere near himself yet.

Not sure why Griffin found it necessary to close the game with Lopez and Beas? Those line ups weren't working tonight.

Actually not sure who has the higher 3pt% this season out of Giannis and Dame. They'd both be between 20%-30%.
