I know some are managing their expectations and mentally preparing for a scheduled loss, but come on now, it's the Bulls. I'm more worried about how atrocious their offense was against Charlotte, so they'll probably bounce back a bit against us. Looking forward to some random role player hitting 5+ threes. Even so, we still have to win this, no matter how ugly.

Beverley should return, right? No way he skips out on his hometown, concussion protocol be damned. Just have Doc clear him to play.

Lou will probably sit out again, no point in rushing him. McGruder is still finding his legs. Which means that one of Mann/Rome/DWJ will need to ball out. Too bad that Mann doesn't really shoot, because his hustle was good against Minny. I was surprised that DWJ was able to play so soon after that hamstring issue, but can he do it again in less than 24 hours and actually be a threat out there? If Rome somehow gets the call and actually scores 10+, it would be the ultimate early Christmas miracle.

PG and Trez played heavy minutes, gonna be the toughest on them. It's time to fully unleash the Zubac, hope he'll be feeling it. Maybe Doc didn't play him more against the Wolves so he could carry the load tonight. Will Fi actually get some non-garbage minutes? His shooting would be useful, but how do we hide a guy his size on D?

Whatever happens, let's end this trip on a strong note!

Should just troll the league by sitting all the starters. Clippers didn't get any rest between this back to back game.

All this is is opportunity. Ivica Zubac, Terance Mann, we're looking at you.

More opportunity for Derrick Walton JR as well.

I'm hoping Mann can redeem himself from yesterday's pedestrian performance. Walton Jr. seemed to have a better game and played 30 minutes last night. Either way, George better have another big game since we won't have Kawhi's scoring tonight.

DWJ was the cream who rose to the top and was out there at crunchtime
obviously Doc has more confidence in him than he has in Zubac :wink:

That made no sense for them to take WCJ out the game

In case people were wondering why some of us were criticizing Doc's coaching last night... this is why.

TheNewEra · Post #19 » by **TheNewEra** » Sun Dec 15, 2019 2:36 am

Better off resting Paul George this carry over game was a complete waste

Bulls with terrible shots
