He isn't a pure point guard, but he definitely has point guard instincts and knows when a player needs touches.

1. Zach takes over the game.
2. Bulls players are disengaged as they are no longer involved in the offense.
3. Opposing team makes a run.

That is what you saw, eh?

I missed it so it didn't happen. Let's go!

Big shots by Lauri. We would be in big trouble if he wasn’t out there right now.

I have seen a 72 win team do that. The earlier you get it. The harder it is to maintain. They just need to figure it out.

You know what this team is missing? A guy like Enes Kanter off the bench. Everything is so perimeter-oriented, we really could use someone who can easily get buckets inside. We sort of had that dimension with Robin Lopez, but haven't had it since.

Good hustle from Wendell, great job by Lauri to keep shooting! We're the better team, now let's close this out.

He does do this every so often, but not nearly enough. I love his fearlessness, but sometimes that takes away from his overall impact.

Let's not forget Coby is only 76 games into his career, hasn't even played a full 82 game seasons worth of games. He still has tons of room to improve and grow.

i feel better about wendell on offense than defense at this point, which is not something i expected

Absolutely agree.

He's already got my Adrian Griffin Hustler of the Year award in the bag.

Aka "That Old guy At The Y" award.

WCJ has been absolutely great on the boards in the second half.

We are taking some really bad shots

Absolutely agree.

Enes can definitely jump right into the Antonio Davis role. I want a vet big who knows how to move his feet in the paint.

Wendell needs someone to teach him how to play in the post. So many travel calls on him at the top of the key.

These unforced turnovers man...

DroseReturnChi · Post #217 » by **DroseReturnChi** » Sat Jan 16, 2021 3:02 am

lavine 4th quarter is really questionable.

weneeda2guard · Post #218 » by **weneeda2guard** » Sat Jan 16, 2021 3:03 am

Lavine just has these weird turnovers sometimes its weird how he just loses the ball sometime.

Bout to suggest he sleep with the ball under his arm

Lauri and Wendell need to make it personal. They are being challenged. Standup or find a new job. Wendell really needs to drop 20 pounds. It would really help him.

But Lauri should have rotated over though.

It seems like most teams go small with their backup C, while they have a true C as a starter. There seems to be an opportunity there to take advantage. Not sure if the answer is to go with a big inside player or actually use Lauri (something I’m normally against)
