Now we have that timetable s to 10 days he’s going to be out this means he’s going to miss about six to seven games in that time as well um when you look at that like what what hey how do you feel about Nicola vich missing extended time

Now that we kind of have that timeline listen I I get everybody’s excited about drum and everybody’s really oh he 2425 this is what the Bulls are missing I love the the way the Drummond played and I hope that that does continue but the one thing that we have been able to

Count on with Vu is his consistency at least on the rebounding and offensive end that’s the one thing with Andre Drummond that when you kind of look at the reason that he started to become a backup center in the NBA was because the consistency wasn’t always there right

He’d have games like that then in the next game he’d go out there need had four fouls in the beginning the one thing the Bulls really have to do over this next seven to 10 days uh which is what five games right that he’s gonna miss pretty much like you said five

Games um like five to six games right the one thing that they really have to do is TR really try and just keep Andre Drummond out of foul trouble we’ve seen this many times where you know he has the big game the next game we’re talking about three fouls in the first quarter

Now you can’t play him most of the game then you have to go small ball Center I also think I know I said this on the last pod gotta find a way to work in a [ __ ] I don’t want Andre Drummond playing 40 minutes a night every single night

That he’s out there find a way to work in another big I like Terry Taylor I don’t love Terry Taylor you you you’ve got these guys on the team and to me the the number one flaw that Billy Donovan has is we’ve had these guys where we go

Hey we need seven Footers out there Billy’s like I’m gonna put this 62 guy out there at Center and see what he do yeah I mean like I I don’t want us to go back to small ball Center every night I’m not saying put a do Nago out there

There for 30 minutes but give him like 7 to 10 minutes just so that Andre Drummond can breathe and I don’t have to worry about him falling out of the game in the first half yeah I mean I think that’s what it comes down to is that you

Know and I I expect Billy Donovan to still use Terry Taylor but with this extended period of time the way Adam soogo is playing keep in mind sonogo it’s not like he’s just he’s averaging 18 11 one I think one and a half blocks one and a half steals per game and he’s

Doing so in efficient scoring if nothing else Adas go can bring you rebounding block shots and putbacks let’s just say Don’t run a single set for him he can do that and so and and you know I get why you’re going with Terry Taylor I I know

That Billy donov he’s always going to go with the experience especially when you’re trying to win games but I think when you look at the next the set of games that we have for the Chicago Bulls in this stretch that uh that that vots can be out we got Indiana that they got

Uh Jaylen Smith and Miles Turner down there Philadelphia 76ers that speaks for your the New York dicks they have their own big man uh injured down there but Isaiah hartenstein and then the Charlotte Hornets you you got all teams with legitimate big men down there that

Can do some damage to you on both sides of the ball so while Terry Taylor yeah he’s a really good small ball rebounder and he’s a Defender he plays with energy I don’t want to take anything away from him but what is the point of giving somebody an opportunity if you’re not g

To actually give them an opportunity I’m not saying that soogo is gonna make or break these games but I do think working him in five eight minute stretch to see how he plays in that then increase that role after that that should be the thing

In our in my opinion I’m a guy sitting in the studio in his crib though I’m not an NBA coach so it is what it is no I feel you and I think right like the the one thing about this is in this stretch right we’ve talked about niik lavich

Being a key piece that has really been consistent for the Chicago Bulls there’s been some up and downs in there right there’s a couple of games where he’s put up 13 but for the most part I mean you look at V’s game he’s averaged 18 and n

And 11.2 rebounds three assists in all of those games uh multiple game 26 and 16 24 and 12 23 and 8 20 and 12 20 and 12 21 and 16 right like you know what V is going to be able to bring to the floor who’s going to give you that level

Of consistency and that that’s really what you’re looking for right and this is a time if anything to go with the hot hand for me if you got a guy out there who’s doing a good job giving you some rebounding numbers and maybe he’s able to give you a little bit of offense

Nothing crazy but he’s just out there giving you some some rebounding numbers a solid defense don’t go away from that guy that’s that’s a major Billy Donovan thing with with Andre Drummond included right it seems now he’s gonna give Drummond all the minutes that he could

Ever want but don’t you don’t have to go away from that guy because oh my goodness well you know we we didn’t feel like uh that lineup was really going well for us with the numbers well you know what the numbers looked bad on the offensive rebounds that you were giving

Up right like there’s too many times that we see that and I just I don’t want to see the Bulls over this next stretch of games without Vu shoot themselves in the foot the one thing about Vu that people are always going to do your always gonna complain your always gonna

Say he’s not good enough defensively we need more here we need more there and then he finishes the game with 24 and 12 yeah yeah I mean V has been a key a key part of this team I know a lot of people like the crap on vot but you know it is

What it is I do think Andre Drummond is going to do what he does well like you said you just got to keep him out of foul trouble things like that and if you can do that listen it it’s it’s six games potentially so in the grand scheme

You think it’s not a lot I know Nicola vich was hoping to hit that that 82 again this season like last season but you know that that rarely happens for anybody period so and he’s hit it so consistently bro Vu has been the the the

Pinnacle of uh just I’m going to be dur like you don’t even think about it at CLE like when they were like Vu is out I was like oh like he’s probably gonna play like V is honestly one of the more durable players we’ve ever had in a

Chicago Bulls uniform it’s it’s listen this is this next seven to 10 days is going to be very interesting the one thing I will say is this though in that game where we watched Andre Drummond uh in the in the starting role it did feel like Chicago Bulls ran the floor really

Well it felt like they ran the floor much better than when Vu is out there Vu is usually the trailer there were times where Andre drummer was running right with Kobe white I thought that I thought that Andre Drummond really allows the Chicago Bulls to actually push the ball

And get out ahead of teams and that that we haven’t we don’t see that as much with v granted V is 34 33 years old like he’s not going to be he’s not sprinting down the court and he’s never been breaking any speed records well it’s also the fact that that Andre Drummond

Started some of those fast breaks with his ability to get Steals and that that helped as well in that stretch so yeah I mean you definitely have that with Andre Drummond that you don’t have with Nicola vous vich and you know that’s why you saw like like IOD dumu play as well as

He played as well so you know the it fits into what the Bulls stylistically want to do there still it offers some limitations but defensively there’s there’s very little you can poke holes into it when it comes down to defensively he does have that really nice like he’s a underrated on ball

Defender he’s still he’s listen him and V got the same problem they struggling pick and roll but is W he’s a he’s a very underrated on ball Defender where there was a couple of times where like his man would try to drive past him and he’s like hitting him with the little

Just that little tap right the little Boop and then the ball goes the other way and and it’s like cookies wait a minute did did Andre Drummond just rip me up and he’s going the other way for a for a two-and jam like like I I have to

Give Andre Drummond credit he does a really good job staying with uh the big man the one thing I do want to put out there as a caveat for a lot of people though is right the excitement around Andre Drummond and will it still be that over

The next five or six games because if you were ever going to play against a center that you know Andre Drummond is going to just be better than it’s Clint capella and there’s no disrespect to Clint capella but what you do is dunk and rebound and Andre Drummond is

Literally one of the best I’mma just grab this ball and then dunk it back or I’mma just grab this ball and throw it down that you’re gonna face so Clint capella going up against drum was a really tough matchup for him yeah agreed agreed and and you know

You’re not always going to have that to what to what you’re saying and pointing out there but it’s it’s up to the Bulls as well to create different matchups and so we got Billy D is going to have to coach especially offensively we’ve seen him do really good defensively he’s

Gonna have to coach offensively as well to get this team rocking and rolling offensively because it’s about to be tough oh yeah it’s going to be an interesting game it’s going to be an interesting next few days and but what I what I do love and what I got to

Commend guys are stepping up we haven’t seen like remember like we lose a guy and it be like well we’re going to lose the next seven games guys are step it up when their numers being called they’re ready to play I love seeing that from the borts team absolutely nextmen up

Mentality is big for this team but next up we’re going to be talking about uh somebody who could be gearing up for their return and Zack LaVine moving into the next phase of his rehab and what that could present for the Chicago Bulls but before we talk about that we got to

Talk to you guys about one of our sponsors and that is eBay Motors our partners at eBay motors have teamed up with locked on Fantasy Basketball host Josh Lloyd to bring you some of the best fantasy picks each week all season long whether you’re preparing for a daily

Draft or scouting the waiver wire every week we’re going to provide you players that are guaranteed to fit your roster so let’s see who Josh has picked out for us in this week’s eBay guaranteed fit fit fantasy pits of the week uh he has Dante exom surprisingly on here uh with

This saying Jason kid said when healthy the Mavs are still planning to start exm his shooting will regress but the role is in tying Dante exom is a name that I’ll say with this is that I really have not did not expect this season to be

Talking about Dante exom at all bro like who would have thought that Dante exom of all people would have made their return to the NBA this season and he’s putting up decent numbers when you look at his last five games for example only one game he did not score in double

Figures he’s averaging nine points per game on 57% shooting but he’s really starting to up the shooting and three-point shooting as well for the month of December so far he’s averaging 15.6 points per game on 62% shooting from the field and 52% from three-point range taking three and a half

Three-pointers per game Pat when you hear the name Dante exom and still making an impact how you feeling about that just reminds me of that random moment on 2K where Dante xon was in the game for absolutely no reason and y’all had the same agent like I it didn’t make

No sense I like what what do you want me to say about Dante exom shout out to him eBay Motors let’s go J from locked on fantasy basketball is going to help you win your fantasy championship and eBay Motors knows a championship team is about each player

Actually I just looked up his numbers he actually been balling he’s balling bro this is kind of pretty good in 18 minutes and 26 games he got nine points so 57% shooting at 4 3% from three crazy the way Dante actually cooking for a role player right now but uh moving on

From that Pat Zack LaVine uh we got word from Billy Donovan over the weekend it was actually the day of Christmas he said that no Zack LaVine seems ready to move to the next phase well we got a video released today he actually has started cutting things like that I know

There was some initial doubt on how legit this injury is for Zach LaVine it seems like it may be something legitimately going on there but when you hear that LaVine is now moved on to the next phase of that have like I said cutting now in practice doing some

Runarounds uh how does that make you feel about a potential Zack LaVine return to the Chicago Bulls I mean listen if everybody keeps getting out on Zack LaVine you know he’s gonna have no choice but to return you know I mean like we thought people were in but it

Was just the toe yeah so you gota watch that but uh I guess that was we jok around about the toe so much they said we wasn’t dipping all the way in it it was just the toe baby we we can only give him the toe but uh I

I think I I don’t know the LaVine thing at this point is is very just whatever AK is going to do he’s going to do right to me I feel like you can’t put him back in this lineup because we haven’t seen this Bulls team play at this level um

Everybody the the people that are in favor of him talk about him adjusting um and adjusting to what the team is currently doing I don’t know if that’s going to happen because I don’t believe that he is is a big fan of the coach and I don’t think that’s going to change

With that being said it’s good to see him reh stabbing and and moving in the right direction cutting and running again um and I never want to see him down right you don’t you want don’t want to see him out of the lineup and and you

Feel like if he is able to come back and give you anything one it UPS his trade value two he’s he’s an asset to have when he’s playing like Zack LaVine but what is him playing like Zack LaVine entail for this team is that going to

Take away from him there’s there’s a lot of questions that have to be answered before I feel very very comfortable about Zack LaVine putting back on a bull’s uniform and and suiting up with this team yeah and so Billy Donovan actually after practice was asked about the situation with Zack LaVine he was

Asked if there was a timetable for his return and he says this even if he passes part of it I’m not sure how many days of cutting it will be it’s going to be more uh loads of more intensity and and a lot of it for him right now is

Going to be structured when it’s when it’s to cut here cut there uh the next step after that would be to have him start randomly cutting and moving with without it being a directional workout so very very clearly there setting that expectation that it’s going to be a

Minute still before Zack LaVine returns um he still kind of right in the middle of that initial uh timetable for his return he could like I said I think the earliest in that if I have my dates right would have been January 10th based off when it was initially PR much yeah

We’re still we’re still a little bit away from uh over two weeks away from zakine potentially returning now I know we’ve talked about this a little bit Pat um has your has your mindset changed at all about Zack LaVine is healthy at January 10th there’s no trademark yet

For him do you just play him do you start him like do you can’t sit him you can’t sit him I mean listen he he he still makes $250 million he’s still your highest paid player on the team you can’t sit him just just off of I feel

Like sitting him I don’t want him to be here right if if you if you want to move on from him that’s one thing but if you’ve just got him sitting on the bench for no reason why that makes you look as an organization too um that he hasn’t as

Much as I I compare the addition by subtraction to the James Harden situation he is not James Harden this situation he has not um come out and been a poor teammate he has not been somebody who has not been in support of what the young guys are doing he’s been

Somebody who’s out there cheering every single game you you have no reason to not play him if you haven’t moved him I think that is all the more reason for AK to get kind of a little bit more on the phone with some of these guys and try

And find a market and if there is no Market there is no market right like I guess if we get to January 15th and there’s still no Market there’s not much you can do about that um and then it then it falls on Billy Donovan to say

Hey listen you have to find a way to play this guy you have to find a way to play him to where he works the best and you have to find a way to play him to where he works the most with the team and you cannot allow the grip that Kobe

White has on this team right now to fade away because Zack LaVine is back yeah and I think that’s that’s the biggest thing is like how do you incorporate him back into the offense now with the way the ball’s moving around things like that theoretically you can get him back in there pretty

Easily but you don’t want to you don’t want to take away from Kobe especially while Kobe’s playing well and if you start seeing that it’s starting to disrupt Kobe’s Rhythm or whatever uh Billy Donovan’s gonna have to coach now Billy Donovan’s done a pretty damn good

Job coaching here lately I got to give him his credit for it he’s he’s done a really solid admirable job at working out these uh the balance of this roster and hopefully hopefully that that’s going to continue but like on paper the way that the Bull’s playing right now

Should play into what Zack LaVine likes to do and on paper doesn’t always come into reality but on paper it’s there I mean and and maybe I guess here’s the flip side of this is is the scenario that that we have talked about as the one scenario of this works for the

Chicago Bulls is zline comes back he adjusts he allows Kobe white to keep doing what he’s doing and they they find a way to incorporate him in his catch and shoot role which he’s been very good at but I do think that you’re at a point

Now with Zack LaVine where if he’s off you go somewhere else and that’s what we’ve seen over the last 13 games there hasn’t been this Force feeding of anybody it hasn’t been Force feeding the ball to DeMar rosen Force feeding the ball to Kobe white Force feeding to D

It’s been oh my bad I’m off let’s get somebody else involved di Duma what do you have today okay you’re knocking a shot down when when Zack lavine’s been on and and listen here’s the other thing too when when you’re talking about a foot injury and if he was trying to play

Through it of course he can’t shoot it’s a foot injury yeah right like if we believe that that he really was injured and it seems like he’s really rehabbing or whatever so I would assume that he’s actually injured I I think we’ve always said there’s some injury but maybe he

Could have come back a little bit sooner uh than the January date which lines up perfectly with them being able to trade him but if you’re dealing with some kind of injury in your foot you’re not gonna be able to shoot so I’m not especially when Detroit’s trying

To dip their toe into you I mean l you got to watch that bro like he dropped 50 and they was like too bad they haven’t dipped their toes into any wins lately my God bro I F bro I’m not gonna lie to you I felt bad for Kade bro I felt

So trying bro he gave it everything he could bro and that M came up short that that was tough bro that team sucks bro somebody somebody bro pointed this out they said this team is I think it was baky said this team is worse than the Denzel Valentine Cristiano felicio bulls

And I was like nah bro he was like bro they never lost this many games and they never lost this many games this bad and I had to really go back and look and like dog this team is dog waterer it’s bad bro it’s bad luckily it’s not us

Though that’s all that matters it’s not us us we don’t have to deal with that just shout out to Detroit for struggling I ain’t got nothing to with us we are actually winning games over here with Chicago winners we we big winning man Killian Hayes who we’re high on hey man

Before we get into the final segment where we got to tell you guys uh to talk about this matchup I mean this is this is oddly enough turned into a pretty elite point guard matchup here with Kobe white versus Tyrese halberton before we do that though we do have to tell you

Shouldn’t get guarantee something something crazy Could Happen relax now that’s not yeah oh would that said take a breather here the Chicago Bulls face off against the Indiana Pacers in in uh division rival uh the Pacers right now have been uh a little little struggle there with the with the inded Pacers uh

There they’ve lost four out of their last six I believe um so there is something to be said about that uh Pat when you look at uh the Bulls playing against the Pacers that coming in in in town in Chicago uh what’s the the match

Up I have on here is Kobe white versus Tyre hbert I’m really excited to see that matchup but what do you think about that match up or any other match up you’re excited to see when the Bulls face off against the Pacers well I mean

This is big right because this this is a matchup now where if Chicago Bulls win this we’re tied up in the win column both teams would have 15 wins on the season out of bulls have 18 losses bulls have played the most games I believe in

The NBA right now so there’s still that this offense is still a very potent offense one to worry about uh but yeah when you look at some of these games that they lost I mean they lost to Memphis they lose to Orlando um and you know those are two

Teams that it’s weird because when you look at uh when you look at this Pacers team you’re like you should be able to go out there and beat them but the reasons why they lose I mean it’s to me it’s just the defensive side of the basketball offensively they are dogs

Right first and field goals made first and field goal percentage their first and field goals attempted so they’re going to get those shots up uh Sixth and three pointers made uh uh a ninth and three-point percentage in the NBA there’s a ton of things that this Indiana Pacers team does really well but

One thing that they don’t do well is the defensive end of the basketball and I think really with Chicago Bulls have a a kind somewhat Advantage here is the Bulls have been able to stop these high-powered offenses and and I mean stop like it’s not like they’re slowing

Them down like we’re going into fourth quarters with the score 88- 76 like it’s Tom thibo back in 2008 again right like the Bulls have really done a good job defensively versus a lot of these teams and if they can keep that defensive intensity going the matchup I’m watching

Most is down low Miles Turner versus Andre Drummond what is that matchup going to look that was crazy yeah that was crazy I saw it in your face I saw it in your face I’m trying to be better I’m trying I’m trying to evolve bro GNA let

Fide I’m not trying to evolve I just that was crazy that was insane on my part no the matchup is is the uh I don’t even know what to say the center position how about that I was I was I was going to say big man that felt wrong

Right after that one but uh the the center position I think Miles Turner versus uh uh uh Andre Drummond is going to be a really big matchup to watch for and I think that’s going to be the one that when you when you look at okay

How’s the night G to go the rebounding numbers are going to tell you yeah I think that’s a great point there I think when it comes down to it um if we can win those boards especially offensive rebounds to keep them off the offensive glass limiting Second Chance points for

The other team while we get some of her own that’s always been when the Chicago Bulls play their best and so let’s hope that we can see that continue for the Bulls um in this game against the paat but I’ll tell you what this is a team

That I’m really excited to see the Bulls play against I just I don’t know why like when you look at it of course me and you have always been high on Ben mathin who by the way they started him he he was starting at earlier in the

Season they moved him back to now coming off the bench take that for what you will yeah uh teeth are coming in the building with Buddy Hill all the dentist in Chicago are probably looking being excited about that he’ll bite you bro you got to watch yourself and then you

Also got uh uh Aaron A Smith as well in there Bruce Brown is actually going to be out in this game so really excited about this match this is a team that you know was playing really good to start off the season a lot of people had them

Peg to be a team that’s really going to make a move in the Eastern Conference been a rough goal of them basically since the mid part of December um and we’ll see uh they’ve only won two games since December 13 so we interesting Team bro it’s a really

Really interesting team when you when you look at some of the games that they’ve lost I mean like against Washington they lost against Washington yeah I I like offensively they can put up points with the best of them excuse me but defensively it’s just they can’t get stops when it’s most

Important man like like that’s that’s the one thing to me that I’ve seen like that I was just about to say God you got to help me man I I you know I’m gonna be real with you you want to know how bad it is defensively for this team bro like

100% they lost to the Clippers 151 to 122 that’s crazy they put up 122 points and lost I’m sorry 127 127 points and you found a way to lose that game now you got blown out in that game it was over pretty quickly in that game I mean the second quarter alone

They went on a 40 to 28 run the biggest thing the Bulls can’t do going into this game um you cannot allow a big offensive run by them because if they do get ahead offensively it will be tough for you to get back and you you just have to keep

This defensive intensity that you’ve had over the last 10 games bulls have been a really really good defensive team over the last 10 games offensive rating has only been a 119 but you’ve only you’ve been a 115 defensively keep that up keep it up that’s what she said so yeah let’s hope the

Bulls listen I Can Only Hold It Back so long um but yeah keep it up man yeah got keep it up by the by the way by the way the Demar roen custom red up tempos just went on sale for anybody who’s looking at them uh they they’re on sale for only 170

  1. Dante Exum 😂 I remember his scouting report from the 2014 draft. He was in the same draft class as Zach LaVine and went top 4 or 5. The NBA comp for Exum was Derrick Rose. Oh well, at least he kept healthy knees. #TheBigComeback

  2. I'm sorry guys, but you realize Vucevic is durable because he's plays soft as a feather pillow right? I'll root for him once he grabs a 50 50 ball. I've never seen it.

  3. People always give the bulls shit for taking p will over Halliburton. We were already a guard heavy team back then we had drafted coby the year before. Would you rather have coby or Hali?

  4. Honestly fellas, I've been waiting a whole year to see how this team would perform without Vuc starting and now we know…1-0. The reason Vuc doesn't get in foul trouble is because he's blown by all game long. He gives no effort to block shots so there's no real threat to foul. Also, it was another close game where missed shots by the opposing team were actually rebounded by us instead of them getting second chances to score

  5. Drummond staying a 2nd year in Chicago shows he loves his role here. Its not a Drummond or Vooch conversation. Drummond & Vooch for 48minutes is nice.

  6. Off topic: the strange thing is that on paper the Pistons are not that bad. Coming into the season, I thought they would actually be pretty good considering they had the first pick in Cade Cunningham, Bogdonavic, and a lot of top five pick players. Maybe the league is just getting more competitive?
