Bulls played the Cavs real well the other day. Didnt expect this one to be a walk in the park on a back to back. Knicks look tired out there. Thibs gotta get more of the bench involved. Gonna have to give Kolek some minutes.

Theres no urgency in this team right now. Last year we would have went out there to try to stomp the Bulls by 40.

that's something we're gonna prob have to deal with until precious/mitch comes back. and thats if thibs even decides to play kat at the 4

They aren't going to stop the threes if teams are taking 40 and we refuse to switch. The problem is that we defend like stopping twos is more important than stopping threes.

Which is wild cause like, we're not even good at protecting the paint

We're the 5th worst team for DFG% within 6 feet of the rim.

Why is Brunson always so slow to kick the ball out to the open man after penetrating? Every game I'm saying pass it to whoever and he always hesitates. Gotta be quicker with that.

It's the main reason why the Pacers were a problem for us in the regular season last year.

Haven't scored in like 5 minutes. Bulls have the ls defense in the league

Thank you KAT

That'll get better through the year. Its his right handed passing thats really weak. It forces him to turn his whole body to sling the ball with his left.

they're overhelping to protect the paint cause kat struggles heavily at that. to compensate for that we're gonna give up a bunch of 3s. it is what it is
