Daniels was such a sneaky add.

What an awful win. I don't think I've ever seen a team miss more open shots than Chicago.

He's gobbled up every rebound in sight today.


Don't bring facts into the Len discussion. His haters will ignore all of them, but yes, he has been good this season. I don't think we have a chance of keeping him though aside from giving him a ton of money because he isn't going to trust us to give him PT.

He's having the best year of his career so far. But since he's not part of the team's future anymore, he has fallen into 'scapegoat' category. Wouldn't be the first to suffer such fate. I mean he wasn't anything to brag about prior to this year, but now that he finally doesn't take mid range shots anymore and is focusing on other aspects of the game, he's looking a lot better. Yet some remarks about him paint him like he's having the worst season of his career while it's the opposite.


Yes. We gave IT the same treatment and then rampantly criticized the GM for the trade even though people on this very board were saying we should attach things to him just to dump him as addition by subtraction.

Dunn/Lavine/Valentine/Porter/Markannen is a solid young starting 5 with enough playmaking, shooting and defense.

Like us, experience and a better coach could make a big difference

Yeah, I've been mentioning how great he has been rebounding. Doesn't matter. Apparently he's terrible and that's that. 12 pts and 16 boards tonight. Not bad so far. Yeah, it's the Bulls but he does it every time. Last game he had 12 boards and 2 blocks in not that many minutes.

Why isn't Monroe playing btw?

Not enough minutes to give out to 3 C's. With Len on a roll, why stop him?

That's what I figured. Len usually gets on a roll, at least rebounding, when he plays. But he is also 6-10 from the field tonight.

I’d like to see us work on setting and (especially) USING screens with our ball handlers. These are little things guys like Booker can do to get better during a ‘timeline’ year. I’d include Bender a lot since Booker gets trapped a lot and you can end up with Bender playing 4on3

Well Booker hasn't done as well as I hoped defensively. Justin Holiday is normally horrible by default, but tonight he's got 25 with 6 3s.

I certainly like our young center more than I like our young PG atm.

As early as last year, Len was getting his ass kicked by Robin. Not tonight.

Let's leave their best shooter free for a spot up 3 after a timeout, of course

We don't lose when Booker and Warren score 58 points on 43 shots.
