The bulls are playing against bums but they look a lot better. We finally have good IQ winning players in the lineup. The only sore spot is Coby at PG. But temple can take his minutes. This could become a really good offensive team.

And the score keepers are being nice. We def have more than 7 turnovers.

Coby clearly had 3 and they have him listed as 2. That last Sato turnover they didnt even count it lol

We have 2 floor generals(Sato,Zach) and 2 more big generals ( Vuc, Thad),that’s not an issue.

Lauri's also finally getting touches in scoring positions. I liked the theis no hesitation entry pass to the post. If it has to come from the bench so be it

You could tell last post game Billy wanted to choke him, he had to literally say "I'm joking" and he STILL looked dead serious chewing out KC.

Coby might be better served in a BG type of role where he only needs to score and not set up plays.

They ended that quarter bad but overall so far they are clearly the better team and had a big lead at one point.

To me its not just about wins and losses. Its how you play. I dont care if we are winning by 20 in each of these games. You still cant have sloppy play with a ton of turnovers. Or poor and uninspired defense.

Thats how you really get to that next level. A playoff team, a contender and then a champion.

The big difference is IQ and defensive effort. Both are greatly improved over the last 5 games. Team just looks engaged and sharper.

ESPN box score shows they gave it to Vuc

4.0 Nikola Vucevic lost ball turnover (OG Anunoby steals)

I don't think anyone would consider Zach a floor general. It's a stretch to call Sato one too.

If it isn’t an issue the why are we turning it over so much.

That's what pretty much everyone thinks except for Billy Donovan apparently.

I think our PG options arent great. If we ended up getting Lonzo, I think he wouldve been better off. I think its something we either address in FA or in the Buyout market.

Sato is not at all a floor general, see that last play. He's a decent backup PG. We need a real one next year.

I'll go ahead and make a sig bet that Mikal is better by RPM this year than Zach.

We have 7 turnovers against a team that easily leads the league in forcing turnovers. They force 16.6/game, Memphis is 2nd forcing 15.5/game.

We are not "turning it over so much".
