Still very concerning that Lauri is essentially non existent playing with Zach. They rarely ever have good games together.

Will add again that LaVine won them this game considering the continuous awful decision making of Boylen with his rotations and lineups.

Just enjoy it for one night. We can all go back to being miserable again tomorrow. It’s ok :D

I shut the game off in disgust about 3 minutes into the 4th quarter AND deleted it.

Luckily they play it again at midnight and I’m re-recording it.

Boylen didn't even mention Zach at first. He had to be asked.

But Lauri "didn't play poorly, he just missed shots"

OK, I'm going to let you all enjoy this. I'll go be miserable by myself. Sorry, if this is how this team plays, we are going to win less than 30 games this season. We might win one out of four or five when Lavine is on fire. But overall, it's a crappy way to win a game. Nobody is hitting 13 three pointers on a regular basis.

But, go ahead be happy and have fun. Bulls fans deserve this for a night. Even if it's just fools gold.

And what the HELL is Lauri doing. He doesn’t even look
like he belongs anywhere near the NBA. I’ve never seen a promising young player just become trash like this out of absolutely nowhere, and at warp speed. Completely unprecedented in my experience.

49 points. 13 3's (tied for 2nd... only 3rd time it's ever been done). 27 in the 4th quarter. Game winning 3 with 0.8 seconds left.

That's historic ladies and gents.

Not like this is good for the Chicago Bulls or anything.


The thing is, Zach didnt get into his rhythm with hero ball - he was playing within the offense - especially when Sato was excelling early at the PG spot.

In the 4th after Boylen's 'Scary Squad' had lost the lead and built up an almost 10pt deficit - then Lavine turned to hero ball - which was successful because he had rhythm from earlier in the game.

Hero Ball isn't the answer. However, setting Zach up to be successful and get him in rhythm is a great recipe for success.


Agreed. He played a controlled game for most of the night. I've been clamoring for him to be the off ball scorer/driver
