No more 16 point quarters and we'll be fine. We have to cut out these lulls where our offense falls apart.

Mirotic and Gasol are gonna eat us alive

At least the Panthers have a chance at 7-0

Regarding Hairston remaining a starter, some analysis on his solid defense against Korver last game:

Really enjoyed seeing the Pokemon. Totally unexpected.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Please, team, Derrick Rose has one eye right now, every time he gets the ball, his man should just retreat right into the paint and stand there (for less than 3 seconds obviously.)

I'm mildly optimistic about this one, the Bulls strangely have not played good offense so far, their defense been good but probably can be beaten with a good 3 point barrage.

We've actually played well against Chicago these past few years. Just two defensive-minded teams grinding it out against each other. Will be interesting to see how we fare against Hoiberg's Bulls.

Schedule is really not doing us any favors. Playing all the best teams in the east back to back to back to back.

The funny thing is that the more things change the less they do, so far the Bulls are #5 in defense, #22 on offense, and Jimmy Butler is playing 36.7 minutes per game (granted, that's sliiiiightly down from the 38 min he played under Thibs.)

Mirotic is a perfectly good ceiling to achieve but Kaminsky's ceiling might be higher. Looking forward to seeing them matched up in the 6.5 minutes Frank gets.

I know coach clifford is from the Van Gundy school... but for this team to work, he has to let Kemba and Lin pick up the pace and run... other than AI, other bigs can run too... it will make the offense so easier... three point shooting/spacing is not enough

i am watching the warriors killing the grizzlies now... man, the warriors are so fun to watch, their D to O transition is so fast, everything is so easy and effortless... their d is superb too, very active hands, very active feet too...

holding, elbowing and tripping is hardly good defense

well Bowen does it intentionally cus he can see with his third eye whether or not the refs are looking. PJ does it in this game because he couldn't keep up with Korver
