Saberestar · Post #1 » by **Saberestar** » Wed Mar 19, 2025 7:50 am

With a win here and the Mavs losing @ Indiana we would be 10th tonight.

And Sabonis is out for at least 10 days. We have a game against the Kings on April so 9th isn't beyond our reach yet.

Injuries:

Bulls
London Ball OUT.
Josh Giddey QUESTIONABLE.
Ayo Dosumnu OUT.

Suns
Bradley Beal OUT.
Grayson Allen OUT.
Mason Plumlee OUT.

Definitely weird to see Gillespie getting starts. Is he beating out Jones or is Budenholzer thinking we're somehow going to make the playoffs and he's saving him or something?

Ayton would have either fumbled that pass.out of bounds or layed it up rather than dunking it.

Bud is gonna **** this lineup that's working up once Beal/Allen/Plumlee get back. He shouldn't, but he will.

The insertion of Caleb Martin into the lineup and removing the three players you mentioned has done wonders for this team.

Plumlee can still be a productive player but he should not be getting more than 15 minutes a night at most. Grayson and Beal should both sit the rest of the season as they have not been proven to help us to win games this season.

Bud benching Dunn and Oso most of the season should be illegal.

Really liking Gillespie in the starting lineup and Tyus off the bench as a 3 point shooter works better.

Bulls do this often when down all game, but Suns also let their foot off the gas.

Bulls have the most wins in the NBA after being down three quarters and coming back to win. I wouldn't be surprised if we fall victim to them tonight due to defensive failures and lackadaisical offense.

Team also seems more balanced without trying to force feed a third "star". I really like when Booker is an aggressive scorer
