DDR is worth his weight in contract. Never knew it.

We’re going to be vulnerable to big runs until we get bigger inside. It is what it is.

That said, a win is a win, especially on the road.

I have nothing but good feelings coming out of this one.

Caruso certainly deserves MVP chants. As much as DDR and Zach bail out the team on offense, AC does the same on defense. The way he covers for his teammates' mistakes on defense is unprecedented for a guard. He does the same for his team that Rudy Gobert does for the Jazz.

Felt like an important win considering they’re in Brooklyn on Saturday and face a Jokic led Nuggets after that.

I'm tired of this idea that we blow leads we shouldn't and totally discounting the opposition's part in making a run, especially against a playoff tier team like The Knicks at home.

We aren't the Globetrotters letting the Generals storm back and take a lead!!

20 points lead is nothing in the NBA. Bulls were great in the first half. Knicks were awesome in the 3rd, give them credit. Bulls closing 5 is just so strong and having Demar and Lavine (despite the terrible shot) to close things out when things get tough with Caruso and Ball up top on D is really hard to beat down the stretch.

We almost had three players put up 30 in a single game. No clue if that’s ever been done, but I was cheering for it! Just came up a little short. Fun stuff!

Hard to beat a team that has three players scoring like that from all levels of the court.

DeRozan and Zach are just...really really good.

There was a step back 2 the Zach hit right in front of the Bulls bench with about 18 seconds left on the shot clock...that was a HORRIFIC shot to take at the time. Literally an awful attempt.

But he's Zach so. Awesome.

Vuc seems to be gaining steam.
Lonzo is soooooo bad at the rim. Like, one of the worst in the league.
Ayo keeps getting blocked, although trying to finesse in a layup over Robinson and Toppin is a terrible idea. He still has been valuble.
TBJ sighting?
IMO Tony Bradley should have been used tonight. 5 min? 8 min? Too much to ask? Comon.
We need a big Donovon will actually use.

It’s concerning how bad everyone outside the top 3 is offensively. Lonzo especially seems to completely disappear late in games.

I would say Coby is the answer but he seems to have regressed into mediocrity.

The Bulls are no longer allowed to have 20 point leads....until the 4th quarter

Julius Randle's game confuses me, his size and where he operates on the floor has me often times rubbing my eyes.

madvillian · Post #57 » by **madvillian** » Fri Dec 3, 2021 3:10 am

Knicks made so many circus shots. Derozan is the man and without Vuc Bulls lose this one. Zach played a nice game but again he did some silly hero ball late. Worst game of the year from Ball perhaps. AC was huge. Good use of TO from Donovan for once.

Rowland Garrett · Post #58 » by **Rowland Garrett** » Fri Dec 3, 2021 3:10 am

I love Green, but he cannot guard Randle. Should have some sort of upgrade there by the time we play them again.

I might have lost months off my life there. And I don't really have enough to spare, HWhoooo... :beer:

In 1993 we were 16-7 at this point after 23 games.

In 1991 we were 15-8 at this point after 22 games and then lost the next game.

In 1998 we were 15-9 at this point.

And just look at those teams.

The frustrating thing about the Coby situation is that we really dont have any shooting off the bench. I mean guys are capable like Caruso, Ayo. But even if they did well, they are only good for like 2 3s a game. We do need Coby's shooting. Its only in theory based on what he has done in the past. Hes obviously been trash this year. But even if we snapshot Coby from last year in the bench role, he would help tremendously.
