Kevin Durant’s game winner lifts Suns past Chicago Bulls | CHGO Bulls Postgame

Hello Joseph we Good there’s the point what’s going on bulls na welcome in to C Bulls post game coming to you live from our studios here West Loop downtown Chicago I’m peek you can follow me on Twitter at Bulls guys big day B bwl Sports will the go goly

Willor go Le our pal producer Joey B is on the controls he is at Joyce BS ah wow just a heartbreaker a back breaker and everything breaker Bulls fall to the Phoenix Suns 115 113 is the final Kevin Durant the go-ahead bucket double clutch midi difficult shot Caruso contesting it

From the back PE will contesting him from the front uh and D rozan after a fail lob to the rim play towards Patrick Williams uh didn’t work the Bulls get one more chance at it d rozan Almost pulls off the miracle uh running three but it rims out and the Bulls lose lots

To get to in this one a wild game an entertaining game sadly the Bulls can’t hold on thank you for joining us we’ll get to as many of y’all’s thoughts in the comments as we can hit that like button for hanging out with us tonight we appreciate

You Dave where you want to start man that I mean that was a wild and crazy kids shout out Nickelodeon that that game was Bonkers yeah insanity and I enjoyed every second of that was so much fun to watch um you got a little everything in that you know like but it

Ended with greatness and you know how much I love watching greatness and Kevin Durant man Kevin Durant went greatness on you like that was it like I’m you can’t even be mad when I’m watching him like I don’t think I was mad one time just like yep that’s Kevin Durant that’s

What he does I think I would been more mad like Bradley Beal or even Deon Booker was you know the ones doing it to you but damn watching him do that I was like damn I mean I’m not happy they lost at all but man dude that was tough but

Man I love the way the Bulls played um I love I love their resolve honestly uh they they look together they look cohesive as a unit um everybody was involved and pitched in a little bit uh except drumond had a bad game I thought uh but yeah man like man they they

Really did play well but they couldn’t other than the other than the final five or so minutes of the third and then a few Wayward possessions in the fourth I thought the Bulls played a solid game tonight they did they did play a Sol unforunately you know they started out

Red hot from three while the sun started cold and then that story kind of flipped and uh and that started in the third and also the other big key the sun started that run late in the third quarter when Caruso picked up his fourth foul went to

The bench that you know I’m sure Suns fans are going to want to credit Drew Eubanks for being a gigantic you know wrecking ball machine for flipping the script because that kind of happened simultaneously to Caruso leaving with his fourth foul but Caruso leaves with that fourth foul and the Bulls just sort

Of let go of the Rope for a little bit all of a sudden you’re heading to the fourth with just a seven-point lead and then the Suns see that seven-point deficit even on Tire leg second night of a back toback they’re like okay we can chip away a seven-point deficit that

That run they made at the end of the third was was key will absolutely and yeah I mean you you kind of said it the Bulls started this game playing maybe the best basketball that we’ve seen from them and I don’t know like if just saying that really does it justice

Because they’ve had games where they’ve looked really good but that was kind of a while ago now and they’ve had like kind of a stretch here where they just haven’t looked great this was like truly one of the most exciting Bulls games that we’ve seen in a while man and yeah

I mean it’s just great to see them play like that against a team like the Suns who is playing as well as they were um obviously the Suns did not really shoot the ball all that well and in the second half just exploded the the shot making

From Kevin Durant was just outrage I mean it’s it’s like really fun obviously you don’t want it to happen against your team right but like it’s really fun to see great players have great performances like that like alltime great players have just incredible shot making I mean it’s just it was really

Special to watch that that was a lot of fun but yeah I thought from the perspective of like execution when things kind of stopped just you know the ball was moving really well they were getting a ton of Threes once that kind of fizzled out a little bit I thought

They tried to get into some of their like half court stuff with dear and it just never really clicked and I don’t want to like criticize Demar too much because I thought he had a fine game did but uh yeah I think they were just like up against this machine that was making

A ton of shots cusa went down I thought that was a great point that you mentioned um about how that really changed the script and they were just a great team making a lot of great shots I see Colin was saying um he he was disagreeing with me you said no what you

Do with Kevin Durant is you wrap him up and you foul I’m like the man’s shooting like 96% line shooting 96% from the line in the last seven games no you absolutely don’t do that you don’t foul him and even on top of that you saw them wrap

Him up yeah you we watched them do that immediately when when they had defended him as well as you could possibly AB man it’s Kevin Durant though like I I don’t y’all got to understand greatness is greatness bro that’s like saying you know just wrap up Steph Curry

You know what I mean like just wrap up LeBron like greatness is greatness you saw greatness it’s nothing you could the man double clutched the shot two people on him Caruso swiping at him and patting his face and he made the shot that will didn’t even know it went in I like

Literally thought it was like a foot short because the net did not move move like he is that kind of great man like y’ sometimes it’s just greatness dog like y’all have to understand that in basketball sometimes it’s just great we watch it with D Rose we watched it with

Mike I watched it with Ben Gordon sometimes it’s just greatness all right and you got to tip your cap to that Mrs Corningstone you got to tip your cap to that but damn like you can’t just say let me foul one of the greatest free throw shooters of all time man like

That’s just what he is like you foul him he goes to the line to get to you have to play the defense you have to take the chance while you’re playing that defense against him M guarding him now I do agree with Caruso taking that fifth foul

I don’t agree with that [ __ ] at all I thought Patrick should have been up there on him if you’re gonna take that foul and wrap him up no save that because regardless Matt of if when he got that it’s still five fouls because so I think mentally that still changes

How you defend somebody because now you have to worry like oh man if I pick up this foul and we going to overtime then I’m done so you still put something in your brain but that’s why I’m like if you’re going to do it fine put Patrick

Up there let him make the foul and that’s fine but regardless it’s still Kevin Durant man y’all got to accept that sometimes it’s just great man he was some of the shots it wasn’t even that I said B Gordon in greatness are you kidding me did you watch Bing Gordon

Play in the fourth quarter that that entire fourth quarter was just Kevin Durant being Kevin Durant yeah and you know credit to Kobe white who made a couple of big buckets Demar couple of key shots including you know the one to tie it on the Bulls final offensive

Possession before the the last 1.6 second heave even Vu who you know love him or hate him and you know there’s good V and bad V he had a couple of key buckets late um obviously a good look at an open three that would have been huge

But um but before we move on just I I see a lot of people in the comments talking about it including joean who said call out the refs you pathetic Chicago media hey thank you give a second first of all hi thanks for joining us appreciate you being here uh

Second okay I know that there are a lot of people confused and or upset about the dear Baseline midi that was originally called an an one and then was challenged by Phoenix reviewed and overturned because as they showed you on the replay eight times and this is

Coming from one of the biggest Grayson Allen haters in the world top three but someone who’s lucky enough to have two functioning eyeballs what we saw out shout out to sight is that dear after releasing the shot on the follow through grabs with his off hand with dear’s left

Hand grabs Grayson Allen’s arm and Yanks it and maybe jamar’s trying to do a little sneaky Ploy way to get an and one there which you know an extra free throw on top of the M bucket would be huge but that’s what happened am I a little surprised they

Wiped a bucket off the board and called it an offenseive foul instead of just saying successful challenge no foul bucket good right yeah very but also if you think about it do you know what they call offensive fouls for sometimes Shooters kicking their legs out after their shot is relased released mhm if

The shot that they release goes in wiped off offensive foul instead dear yanked Grayson Allen’s arm down on his follow through it’s a weird thing that happened but I don’t think that that was the refs like calling the game for the sun’s favor it sucks but that’s what happened yeah it sucks and

That would happened but they were shitty tonight I’m not going to I’m not going to just say they weren’t shitty like they did they did may have some really really shitty calls but that one I won’t won’t remove that even though I’m still like I thought the shot should have been

Allowed so Cody Cody Wan just tweeted out the rule from the rule book on this Joey I just threw it to you in slack maybe you can throw it up here come the rules baby come on Goat no CU it’s interesting but he says I’m with it

Regarding DeMar rosen foul NBA rule book States no points can be scored on an offensive foul it also states that quote if a loose ball foul called against the offensive team is Then followed by a successful field goal attempt by the same offensive player no points may be

Scored so even if there was a foul the rules like before or after the play because it was on that same play they could not have called the basket good so even if they called it a loose ball foul on Demar after the shot as opposed to an

Offensive foul like as like within the shot either way the the bucket gets wiped out is what you’re saying the rule book says loose ball foul called against the offensive team is then foued by a successful field goal attempt by the same offensive player no points may be

Scored that that is the rul them’s the rules is thought you knew uh Paul Williams said we don’t get the same contact fouls going to the hole as our opponents it’s ridiculous what maybe some nights you feel like certain people and Kobe why in particular doesn’t get

The foul calls that he’s starting to honestly deserve and earn yeah the Bulls took 14 free throws tonight the Suns took 17 so like I mean I’m sorry I’m not blaming this one on the refs I’m not you had a 23-point lead in the second half

Of a game where you yeah you had to fly out but you had a night off and you’re opponent playing the second night of a back toback you cannot blame the rest for this loss you can’t can’t blame him for the loss no I can’t say some of them

Calls were shitty sure I could definitely say that because they were but I’m not blaming them at all for the loss but they they did have some really questionable shitty calls out there tonight that is for sure I I feel like they kind of just played it pretty loose

The whole game like they just you know they were obviously you’re going to get some foul calls but it didn’t feel like they were just calling a bunch of ticky Tac fils either way it just felt like there was they were playing through felt little ticky tacky like there were

A couple where Drummond like put his shoulder through Drew Drew Eubanks like two or three times but the first time that I thought that could have been an offensive he was in the circle so that’s the reason I felt they didn’t even call anything cuz he was standing in that

Circle when he put his shoulder into him but yeah but can’t you still get a foul within the circle if it’s just like a offensive foul like not necessarily charge you can’t really call it a charge or offensive foul like if he’s in the circle you know me okay maybe that’s

True I’m just yeah that’s why I thought they let it go and it’s for for that reason yeah my point is just that there was a lot of contact in this game that I thought was not being called for both sides yeah but bottom line greatness I

Can’t I got to give that this is where I’m at with you man I’m with you on this like that was still greatness that we watched win you know and that’s why we got to you got I don’t I don’t know if you got to accept it or but you you

Ain’t got to like it but that’s what it is you watch the dude be great you know he pointed it out to you the free throw discrepancy even though it was large in the beginning the bull started getting like you coming back getting their free

Throw shots 17 to 14 is not a lot you know either way you know it wasn’t like they were getting 30 you know I me attempts at the line that’s not a lot so that’s fair in the sense I’m not happy with some of the calls that were being

Called No but I’m not blaming the rest for the loss but I can call it call shitty if I see it and I think that it’s shitty but that ain’t why you’re lost you’re lost because Kevin Durant is freaking great you did a great job on

Booker you did a great job on Bill and we talked about it in pregame how excited I was to watch them go up against those guys because I feel the Bulls best defenders are guards and I thought they did a really solid job against those guys Booker was barely

Involved in that fourth quarter Booker Booker only took 11 shots all night man like that’s great but there’s nothing you can do about one of the greatest players ever when he decides to be one of the greatest players ever yeah like there’s no defense for that I don’t care

Who you’re putting on him you put Caruso on him he’s shooting over him you put Pat on him he’s shooting over him and he’s taking him to the cup like what do you do you’re just right you know what I mean there’s a crazy angle from Twitter

Account posted you see Caruso flying by and trying to block from behind you see Pat contesting it’s just absurd and by the way that’s as well as you can contest a shot without fouling someone yes by the way KD 17 points in the fourth quarter Buck 13 points in the

Third quarter he just he just went off he’s like dude just you took your cap so so he had so he had 13 at half and finished with 43 that is what I’m telling you the Beast that is a damn Beast slim Reaper man like literally tip

Of the cap you TI and we’ve done it before for we’ve seen Demar de rozan do those kind of thing that Clippers game comes to my mind and that was probably like the fifth most impressive half by a player tonight cuz there’s just some craziness going on town did some dumb

[ __ ] tonight uh but okay so if if there are some Bulls fans it seems like there’s some of you out there in our comments who aren’t satisfied with the tip of the cap to KD it is what it is because you’re wanting to nitpick what happened with the bulls you know last

Handful of possessions down the stretch that that’s fine that’s fair I I’d like to do so too because you kind of expected the Suns even on a back to back we’re going to make some kind of run this is a good team that’s cooking that’s playing at home on a five game

Winning streak you knew a run was coming it’s just whether or not you could withstand it I see plenty of people in the comments talking about Kobe white and a lack of touches and/ or shots down the stretch Freddy pun one of several in the comments saying you got to set up a

Three for Kobe or cruso down two on the road with 1.6 seconds I’m I’m sorry uh a lot of other people wondering about D rozan ISO uh Jamie the D rozan ISO stuff on every fourth quarter possession needs to stop it isn’t what you uh it isn’t

What got you through the whole night I like did I have an issue with some of the Demar possessions down the stretch that were ISO not not tonight cuz you know what he did he got buckets like obviously the we already covered the Baseline midi that turned into a

Offensive foul instead of an and one that’s unfortunate but he also got key buckets for for you I did have an issue with those when Vu came back in in the fourth they went to V three straight possessions and I was like and you said

It will and I was like nodding with you and I was thinking the same thing I like it’s a lot of but the thing is like at that point they had taken Demar out for a quick uh quick breather uh that was like around six minutes I think and then

That’s when they went to V three straight times and obviously I think one of those was a pick and roll was like a dump off pass from Kobe two of them were post-ups and it’s just like that that’s the value of having three guys that can

Go get you a bucket at any point and I think people are trending towards this idea that like you got to give the ball to Kobe and get out of his way and I just don’t think that that’s the kind of player that Kobe is I think he’s capable

Of doing that and he obviously shows that he can score that way but what has Mak what’s making him so great is the ability to play off of dear and V and attack when guys get doubled like he is so good as a floor spacer um and attacking Closeouts and getting into the

Paint obviously can run some pick and roll he obviously has shown just an incredible improved handle he was like toasting guys in transition in half court like just absolutely freezing Defenders um so I’m not saying like he can’t be an isolation scorer but I don’t think that’s his primary skill I don’t

Think that’s his best skill and I don’t want to like take him out of that and then overload him with more stuff that will make him look a little bit overwhelmed so I I do think like on that last possession we can talk about those last couple plays the there was one it

Was like uh Aly play where they set up a lob for Patrick to go it was 1.6 seconds like that was a fine play I don’t really understand why they would go to that with like 1.6 seconds as opposed to like that’s a a half second play and like no

Offense intended but of all the players to draw up a play for and for a finishing through traffic at The Rim Yeah Patrick Williams yeah when has his name ever been synonymous with clutch and converting at The Rim cuz never is the opportunity I think like if it’s one

If it’s like 6.5 seconds left Patrick’s probably the guy that can be most effective in that situation like you’re not lobing up to Kobe or IO no offense to those guys that just Patrick can probably get up a little bit higher but to me I just didn’t think they really

Needed to go to that right away obviously people probably would have wanted them to put the ball in Kobe hands and I’m sure that’s what they’re saying in the comments right now no I’m laughing at P whe supporter but what did he say he said he got fouled he did no

It was before that like the jump out the gym that was a great play the criticism there is more just like about running that play at that time he’s that serious I think people are pissed about Kobe not taking the final shot Kobe set the screen for dear there’s one second Demar

Got an inbounds pass and immediately shot it like they didn’t really like have time to set up an isolation uh you probably could run that play for Kobe he’s probably a better shooter in that scenario coming off the screens I agree uh from that distance but I don’t think

In that’s like the way that the inbound pass happened like the way that dear was being defended he had to come closer to the sideline they probably didn’t want it to get to that point at all um so yeah I mean I could totally see that argument that like you probably want to

In a catch and shoot situation where you’re looking for a three look for Kobe I get that that’s that’s the yes everything you just said exactly uh what I was thinking about that with Kobi because and especially because he had Grayson on him now he was going he was

One-on-one you know know with Grayson at the top of the key and coming off after setting that screen for dear coming to the top of the key so he had a little space you know not a lot just a little space to get the ball and do and do

Something with it and I would have been completely comfortable you know with whatever shot that was going to be more so than I was with that Demar shot which felt like oh my God I hoping the prayer because you got Durant on you you know what I’m saying like and when you got

Durant on you and no time to do anything but go up with it you know seven eight times out of 10 that’s not going to go in you know what I mean think the I’m just rewatching it here I think that the idea was to get Durant switched onto K

Right right and they just didn’t switch it like boom so once you get there comes out right go ahead go ahead go once you get there it’s like hard to I know you guys can’t see this sorry we’re like talking not great podc but I think the

Idea was to get Durant switched onto Kobe so that so that Grayson would be on Demar correct so that he could get the ball at the elbow but Durant didn’t switch force him to come closer to the sideline which is where now you’re in really tough shot yes situation but I

Think that’s where if that’s the case that’s where you go to Kobe and I and I felt like it was he had time to outlet in that situation where okay Demar is not available now Kobe needs to get open somehow it just felt like it was DeMar a

Bust and I felt like Kobe should have had a little more say so uh in that cuz Kobe was hitting some clutch buckets also in that fourth quarter man KOB had 10 in the fourth Yes Man Kobe was going off so I’m like if you’re doing it like

That I get and and I feel like you though too Matt because I’m like it wasn’t like dear was just Chuck up bricks out there in the fourth bro he was in some key buckets we we’ve seen bad Demar ISO resulting in a loss and you know bad Demar fourth quarter ISO

Resulting in a loss this season tonight was not that I don’t think at least uh and like if you have an issue with Demar taking the last shot instead of Kobe specifically damn it I wanted Kobe to take the last shot tonight and dear took it instead okay you’re allowed to have

That gripe maybe there was a wrinkle of that play that was drawn up where they tried to get Kobe a shot mhm dear ends up taking it also dear’s hit how many clutch shots in his freaking was so close to making that he was double covered and got a shot off before the

Clocks hit zero and almost banked it in like it wasn’t trash no that when you are in a 1.6 seconds heave in a prayer situation Demar got a pretty good shot at a Heen of prayer he of pray if you want to be pissed that Kobe didn’t take

The last shot okay be pissed well I I would I have loved to see Kobe take a last shot there absolutely and I like to see more of it going forward like cuz I he continues to prove it Kobe has always been good in the fourth quarter yeah so

Now adding that to his game and what he’s doing now in all three quarters and then combining what he can do in the fourth he has earned an opportunity to get some last second looks uh s uh sang huno in the comments saying it’s not about the last shot it’s about the whole

Clutch time we also saw Kobe get touches and shots in the final five minutes of a very tight game wouldn’t have been close without him like the other thing is like Billy Donovan is writing up a sideline out of bounds play with 1.6 seconds left

In a game where you’re down by two and you’ve just given up a 20-some point lead and you’re in and away game and you’re trying to win like he’s not thinking about well are the fans going to prefer that I like go to Kobe in this

Situation or Demar he’s like no I want to give it to the guy who has proven that he can hit gamewinners I understand that there’s like an element of we want to see growth and I think that’s a valid argument sear ARS are TR now weed if you’re trying to devel players

You got to go the developmental route if you’re trying to win games today you got to go with the win games today route and part of that is going to Dear in those situations because dear has proven he can hit those shots did it work out the

Way that they wanted probably not but I don’t think it was a terrible shot it almost went in and yeah I think I agree that it would have been nice to get Kobe a nice catch and shoot in that situation but I’m not going to come down on Billy

For giving it to a guy who’s proven he can hit game-winning shots no he was the first option I have no issue with him being option number one uh in that situation it was just more so I thought the better option was to get Kobe when

He was coming back you know to the top of the key now whether that’s on Billy or whether that’s on Alex or that’s just how they felt the game Flow it’s another topic you know what I mean but I no I don’t have an issue with Demar being

Number one option because it’s freaking Demar de rozen I just thought Kobe had a better look as soon as you see Demar is going to stay with uh I’m see sorry as soon as you see KD is going stay with Demar for me immediately my vision goes

Totally agree that they did not have a good backup option on that play yeah yeah uh flip side in the comments saying I love me some King in the fourth Deo but it just felt like Kobe should have got the last shot exciting entertaining game though Gabriel in the comments

Saying when we see Kobe go Subzero play design for him uh man watch man Kobe uh Bridget saying how are you going to know what you have with Kobe at the end of a game if you never give him the ball I think it was bosi who hold on do we not

Know what we have in Kobe Kobe was awesome yeah I mean like I’m not trying to take away from Kobe at all was incredible standing he had 26 on 10 of 14 four of five from three oh by the way also 10 boards and nine assists one

Assist shy of a triple double which is I think the point that I a lot of bulls fans are making and and what they’re feeling Kobe has been playing incredible lately he was playing incredibly tonight give him the last shot I think it’s a fair argument to say give the last shot

People in the comments also saying you know dear’s stunting Kobe’s growth somebody was talking about dear’s uh ego and and Billy being afraid of dear’s ego not letting Kobe have that final shot because dear won’t let that fly and Billy’s too chicken to tell dear you

Can’t take the last shot look who are we to know if that’s actually what’s going on um but I did see some dear teams interested in trading for him updates earlier today will I hate it if the Bulls find a trade partner for dear before this trade

Deadline on February 8th and a lot of people in Bulls Nation clamoring for more Kobe and L dear get to see what we see I won’t hate that at all because it would be Forward Thinking in my opinion Kobe white I’m I’m sure I want to I want

To save Kobe white for the second segment because I really think he just needs more time at how good he was playing tonight so he was amazing I’m not going to uh get too much in into him but I just really feel like the Bulls played a really excellent game and it

Just came down to Greatness and you knew Phoenix was going to make a run you just knew it was coming all right this is a really good team and I think you did a great job on their guards you took out two of their three of their two of three

Of their big three they didn’t have just backbreaking games but Kevin Durant is a beast he is the Durantula this reason he has two nicknames that we both know him by He Is that damn good but man dude they just played so well but it’s nothing you can really do about

Greatness at a certain point in time now you are who you are in certain areas as far as a three-point shooting team they were shooting lights out you know in the first half you knew that was coming down you know in the second half we knew that

Was going to happen the Bulls were shooting like above 65% early on just not going to be 50% from three they end up shooting 48% from the field and and about 38% from three not terrible but regression to the mean yes you’re going to come back it’s going to come back

Down to earth um and guys like like I’m men Drummond in pregame but I thought he played a one of his worst games I’ve seen in in recent memory I should say he really had a tough game man and uh he let Eubanks kind of get under him a

Little bit and got called when he got called for that uh technical foul like you said it coincided with kind of Caruso getting his foul and going out but I just felt like that was all at once because you kind of felt the winds shift you know what I’m saying a little

Bit in that game and when those winds shifted you saw the dude dude who was who was in the boat driving the sale was Kevin Durant and it just went insane with them man so yeah they didn’t they didn’t have anything to counter it back with they did a great job just

Maintaining and sticking with it and trying to maintain their lead guys like IO dumu I mentioned Kobe white 19 and 17 for V you know what I mean like those guys did their best to do it man but it’s only one Kevin Durant out here and

When he decides to go that it is what it is bro oh my goodness we have to take our first break sure but David Williams in the comments Billy never called a out during the sun’s run yeah he did he did he did bro he he did he did for sure if

You’re going to if you’re going to come at somebody whether it’s Billy or anyone else come with accuracy uh all right like Tom we gon to take our first break we’ll come back plenty more to get to on tonight’s game Dave wants to talk about Kobe some more I want to talk about

Last shot moments to continue to build his confidence as the future of this team tonight what a what have been great tonight would have been a great opportunity to find uh get that ball into Kobe’s hands for the final shot um he did I mean as you pointed out will he

Had what 10 10 points in the fourth fourth qu so it’s not like Kobe vanished in the fourth he was there um it was uh you know I I love what we saw from Kobe in the fourth tonight I love what we saw from him all night long all night we

Have all established none of us would have had any issue but rather would have loved to see Kobe get that final shot with 1.6 left on the clock didn’t work out that way Dave what what do you feeling about Kobe after tonight man 26 points 10 rebounds nine assists two

Steals he was 10 this is dumb 10 of 14 from the field yeah that’s dumb all right that’s your point guard that’s Joker [ __ ] you know what I’m that’s for real DG you know what I mean that is crazy that is crazy good four of five from the three-point line as well that

Man played amazing amazing basketball and you know this I know you’ll love this Matt one turnover damn nine dimes one turnover one one turnover the the growth in evolution look I’m I’m through talking about just how great I thought Kobe white was going to be and all that other stuff we’re

We’re seeing it right now I like the the spot I’m in right now will is the fact that I expect it now every single game I go in and I just expect Kobe white to be great to be awesome to do some awesome things out there on the floor

Defensively and offensively I love the fire that he showed also cuz he got into it a little bit you know got a little chess bumpy a little bit with Grayson Allen and all those guys the hard fouls that he committed yeah little chest bum bumpy it happens man you got the hard

Fouls he was committing as well you know which were just basketball hard fouls cuz you saw um I can’t remember who the young man he fou but you saw Joshua K thank you as soon as uh that happened he went up shook his hand you know it was

All love you know what I mean because they understood it was just basketball was nothing malicious about it and Kobe just becoming that kind of dude and growing in his role man that’s leadership stuff that he’s kind of growing into which is why people wanted

To see him you know kind of take that last shot cuz they just feel that leaders ship quality growing in Kobe white you see it you watching it you’re like yes more more put more of this in my veins he is Distributing the ball so beautifully the way that he is getting

Guys open because that one play where he got Patrick open on that Baseline for that three-pointer shot was so nice my God man just taking that little extra dribble that allowed him to float out a little bit more on that Baseline and then he hit it was like he hand

Delivered it like here you go fella you know what I mean this is what you want bow cash money I love this kind of stuff from Kobe white that is the point gmans ship is off the chain right now with Kobe I just love the fact will that I’m

In a place where I expected every night and what’s crazy about that I because I want to talk about the defenses and the way teams are guarding him so NBA defenses there’s like a couple of different ways that teams defend and obviously there’s like variations on

Each one but for the most part like the rotations once you get into the paint are all pretty much the same the low men so the opposite side uh corner Defender has to pull over to the helpline to try to pull off drives and then everybody

Else exes out and fills in and he understands that and so he also knows how to manipulate it when something’s happening so on that last play he saw on the drive that somebody else was going to fill in on to one of these other spaces that was being occupied and he

Drew the defender over there with him and then found Patrick in the corner and so it’s like these examples of ways that he is just understanding the game but beyond that just like understanding how to manipulate in those moments and and knowing when uh defenses are going to

Guard him in certain ways and what’s the counter to that yeah and I think when you’re five years in the league when your game is like really flowing the way that it has been for him and he’s like in command of his Pace his ball handling like he’s just able to play through

Different paces and speeds of the game um and just take advantage in those situations so I was super impressed with Kobe this was like one of his best games I thought obviously there’s games where he just explodes from deep and scores a bunch of points there’s games you know

Where he just looks all around really good and to me this was one of those situations where it was everything like he was hot from three he had 10 points in the fourth quarter a near triple double he was defending well he was like Blowing by guys off the dribble he was

Getting out in transition he was hitting spot up threes he just he did everything it was a complete game from him and yeah four of four for 10 points in the fourth quarter four of four he was just he was Sensational I mean the blow byd was vicious you know the

10 of 14 overall from the field and knowing he was hot which means that he was six of eight inside the ark and I swear when I think about that six of eight six made field goals inside the ark tonight and I feel like I can vividly remember five of them being

Disgusting handles leading to a disgusting layup yes that’s just one of those where you just oh my God yeah but in a good way in an awesome way I mean his his ball handling and his layup package is becoming something truly special yeah it’s awesome to watch it

Really is man it’s so much fun and it’s the fact that he’s doing it against who ever’s on him he’s not just picking on the worst Defender out there they put KD on him he blew by KD blew by him do with that ill in right there you know look is

Katie getting a little long in the tooth and taking some defensive possessions off here and there yeah but he’s also like maybe their best defensive player and he needs to be their defensive anchor yeah yes so putting him on him like you just wear expecting that and I

Don’t think Katie was he like wait what where’d he go oh [ __ ] this dude’s good and the way he laid it in you know he’s learning well I shouldn’t say is learning he’s learning how to lay in and protect himself and protect the ball when he’s going io’s doing that as well

Also but going in and laying it in and and letting the rim and everything around protect him you know what I’m saying even more uh to finish that layup it’s something he did not have early on absolutely I remember watching him so many times and he’s not like an Above

The Rim kind of player he get up for a dunk every once in a while but he’s like not really an Above the Rim kind of player and if you are going to get to the rim and score to open up your game you need to have different types of

Packages to finish and yeah he’s just gotten so much better with timing change of pace different spots on the backboard different angles like from it’s like closer to closer to his face you know more of like a hook shot he’s just he’s changed up his his game so much he he

Just looks like a completely different player this year uh Gabriel in the comments said now we need Kobe dribbling to influence Pats dribbling I mean you’re talking about a wide Chasm there look but we’ve seen the growth in Kobe’s ball handling skills yeah it is massive I’m I’m not saying that we can’t

See Pat make an improvement on his ball handling I’m saying I would be shocked if it gets to the level that Kobe has brought his ball handling to I mean Kobe before he got this good at ball handling was not dribbling the ball off his foot every other time he tried to

Mhm am I you know exaggerating a little bit there when referencing what happens when Pat tries to put the ball on the floor a little bit but just a little bit just there were multiple times tonight where Pat tried to put the ball on the floor yeah the one with KD immediately

Took it from him as soon as he uh started dribbling I mean it’s like an auto turnover Auto it’s on pass to-do list but again this is his fourth season yeah it should have been on his to-do list the whole freaking time mhm and we haven’t seen

Any evidence that it’s gotten any better and I don’t I don’t want to hear about Pat and you know needing touches and like oh Demar is hampering his development or Zach’s hampering CU like guess what you can have a basketball that you dribble anywhere it doesn’t

Need to be in the parameters of an NBA game work on your ball handling spend the offseason working on your ball handling you know what other Bulls player though did have a big breakthrough uh after spending four years in the NBA choose that Kobe white this is true so this is true fully

Developed not yet yeah I like I said my my year for Pat was next year I I said that to start my just have really like it’s just too and I agree it’s definitely but you never know you just never know when it’s when things are going to click for him and

When the thing is at the end of last year year we really saw Kobe start to figure some stuff out the last stretch of last season he really it started to click for him and obviously he’s like taken that to a totally different level I think that’s that’s a big thing is

Going to be how does Patrick finish this season obviously it’s going to have huge implications for his contract situation which is looming but also I think just for Player Development in general a lot of young players they start to figure things out towards the end of a season

And then they try to carry that into the next year uh usually it’s like their second year into their third year or their first year into their second year but guys develop at different rates and I also think we I wrote about this the other day we talked about it um after

The last game with Billy but like to me the situation that that Patrick’s in like a lot of people and I’ve said this before too will criticize Patrick because well he’s got opportunities to take guys off the dribble in attacking closeout situations so you can’t tell me

That like just because dear’s on the team he he has no room to grow like he’s got chances to attack but I think that like attacking a closeout is a different skill to learn than attacking when you’ve got the ball in your hands at the

Top of the key and the defense is set and you see where everybody is you can survey the field and like understand where you got to break ass down that’s a totally different skill then attacking a guy closing out to you and you’ve got a split second to make a decision of

You’re going left right shooting passing getting off of it obviously like if you put the ball in Patrick’s hands at the top of the key and ask him to make a play I don’t think it would always go well because we just talked about it his

His ball handling is not that great um and I think his his like pull-up shooting is too slow but I do think that’s a separate skill and it’s taken him probably too long to really get good at that and figure it out but he is getting better at it and he is starting

To figure it out and you’ll see moments where it kind of clicks for him and he gets all the way to the rim you’ll see moments where he hesitates and that’s why Billy took him out of the game early against the Grizzlies um so I just I

Think it’s the CH those are those are different skills and I I do think Patrick is learning and getting better am I expecting him to take like a Jimmy Butler Kobe white kind of fifth year leap probably not but I do think it’s okay if he’s just a good 3 andd Wing

Role player and if anything else happens that’d be even better and also stepping out of bounds got to stop that also that’s with the ball handling is his footwork correct footwork is not right um you know in a little bit of P defense uh and I do like this comment from Tyrone

Stevens who said I love Stacy King but I swear he acts like Pat was just letting Durant score in the words of Pat Bev he’s Kevin Durant Kevin Durant look I I mean did KD cook Willi a couple of times tonight yeah did we see Kevin Durant cook

Basically everyone in a Bulls jersey at various points tonight especially in the third and fourth quarters yes sure it was you know you said in pregame you were looking forward to seeing what pack could do defensively against KD tonight and you know I I thought we saw some

Valiant efforts uh have we seen Kevin Durant cook people for the last 15 years in this league kind I I think multiple Bulls did an admirable job ding up Devin Booker throughout tonight we even saw one possession where it was like hey D Terry just stood his own against Devon

Booker good for you Dal Terry but yeah Kevin Durant tonight said I’m one of the five best basketball players on planet Earth I don’t care if I’m tired I’m going to take over the second half and we’re going to win this game and there’s nothing Patrick Williams or anyone else

Can do about it so yeah I mean I I I heard Stacy Dogg and Pat in the broadcast and I at times and I was like it’s it’s Kevin Durant yeah like that I’ve said yeah keep saying it tonight like it’s Kevin Durant do like certain

Things you just got to accept and deal with like I said with Steph Curry man dude Steph taking all these threes why can’t they stop it’s Steph Curry like what do you what do you want right here um Luke said uh who has Katie not cooked

In the league come on Stacy like yeah like he he cooks that’s what he does he is Kevin Durant and they put their two arguably their two best defenders on them like you had Caruso on them and you had Pat on them like they both had opportunities and they both were getting

Cooked M the final shot was those same two Defenders on him and he double pumped it and hit the bucket he had they they played him so well that he had to alter his shot in midair he still made still made it the net did not move he’s

Just vicious dog like he’s just vicious like stupid there’s nothing you can do about that you got when like uh older players like retired players be like well I simply wouldn’t let Steph Curry shoot threes like okay good luck uh let’s take our second break we’ll come back with some more thoughts on

Tonight’s game uh I think I saw a few more people in the comments want to talk a bit more about Bo tonight um anything else on your mind keep those comments coming we’ll get to them we’ll get to all the super chats we have hit that Thumbs Up Button how many people hit

Pack threw me off a little bit with that that was a weird c um I did want to touch on iO and the S game he had tonight I know uh shout out to our guy French bull TV he said let’s talk about Iowa before we get there

Though I do want to just briefly touch on this um Luke lauo or I’m not sure if that’s a capital I Luke AO eoro saying uh talk about V’s defense and shooting please uh and then also um South garon saying it’s infuriating the tendency of

This team to take a BS V 3 at the most inopportune times that [ __ ] is indicative of Billy Donovan okay yeah Vu has been cold from three pretty much all season long yeah he was one of five tonight yeah he missed a big open three in the fourth he

May have missed two threes in the fourth I I remember he missed one that was like yeah he did uh and look the the thing about Vu and the The Taking of Threes South carar and you’re saying like indicative of Billy D look I I I don’t necessarily think Billy’s out

There you know in timeouts the drawn up plays to kick a t voo for a three think the Bulls are trying to keep Ball moving and find good open shots and sometimes the ball swings his way to vo when he is out on the perimeter instead of operating

Inside and yes he is ice cold from three this season and that sucks but you have to take those shots when they’re open I mean do you disagree will no I think you you have to and that’s like part of his value as a player I think the the play that you

Guys are talking about maybe there was two of them where it was dear uh in the post area and Vu was spacing it was like an empty situation where V was at the top of the key and the ball got doubled I think actually one of them was dear’s

Kickout foul that got overturned and the other was a v 3 so like the question is like why would you have Vu spacing the floor there well I think the reason is one because he has proven to be a valuable three-point shooter at times in

His career but two he’s the best side to side passer that the Bulls have and so if the ball does get doubled if dear does get doubled in the post you kick it out to V he can then move the ball and keep the advantage alive you also take

The opposing Center away the basket so Demar and spin Baseline and get to the rim and there’s no rim protector there so I actually do like having him there it’s probably not as lethal as just having Kobe there for a spot up three but I don’t think that that gives you as

Many options and avenues to find a shot if the Demar isolation the post doesn’t work the side to side passing by the way V seven assists tonight yeah in his near triple double with 19 and 17 yeah it sucks that he went one of five tonight

It sucks that he’s been cold from three pretty much all season long had a solid game uh South garon following up saying he I assume you mean Billy is not getting on guys for taking B shots but again to me that’s the point when Vu is

Open and like maybe if it’s early in the shot clock then say okay that’s a bad shot but most often when V is taking threes it’s because the Bulls succeeded in getting some ball movement on that possession like that that big three that V needed to take in the fourth quarter

Tonight as I recall the shot clock was at 0.8 when the ball got to V and it it came from some decent ball movement but it was like okay the Bulls used all 24 seconds you’re going to call that a BS shot and you want Billy to get mad at V

For taking a shot when the shot clock is running down to zero yeah cuz guess what if you don’t think Billy calls out guys or gets on guys for taking what he deems to be bad shots look at Javon Carter’s minutes over the last 20 games because I

Think that’s what we’re seeing there there’s a thing as a good open three and there’s a thing as a bad three I don’t think Vu is taking bad open threes just kid they just look bad because he’s not makinging them and that sucks yeah that’s that is there’s a difference

There though that’s the true Point uh when the ball is finding you and getting to you what do you want him to do when he’s wide open he taking those shots like yeah cuz if he doesn’t you’re really disrupting the Rhythm and that could lead to a turnover you know what

Cost the team a good shot if you pass that up yeah so he’s got to take those and and again that’s right it sucks because he can’t hit these shots and there a reason he’s wide open when they swinging that balls cuz he can’t hit these shots but he’s got to keep the

Floor balance so he’s got to take them you know and I understand that and honestly V was necessary very necessary in this game tonight because like I said Drummond had a horrible game and and he should have been on the floor for for those moments with that so I have no

Problem with uh V’s game tonight I wanted him to hit more of those shots in the fourth when he was taking those like yeah I was with y’all I was like no God cuz I didn’t have any faith they were going in but I got why he took it like

That getting understand standing while you’re taking the shot and then being mad because the shot doesn’t go in are are two different things man you know what I mean I was mad they didn’t go in but I understood completely why you take the shot within the Rhythm and flow of

The offense I think it’s also a process thing like you’re talking about within the Rhythm and flow of the offense there’s a difference between like a drawn up play okay so you could have V taking two shots one could be a post shot the other could be a three-point

Shot at the wing if Vu is getting a post up it’s usually a design play or the play has broken down and that’s like the final option where you’re just kind of like getting it down to him and bailing him out but a lot of times in those

Situations it’s like V dribble dribble dribble everybody else stand on in the perimeter and wait to see if he’ll kick it back out to you maybe he does maybe he doesn’t but that I think is a different situation in process than you know dear posting up or getting into a

Pick and roll action and then V popping out and being the beneficiary of somebody else’s Advantage so when you were the one creating the advantage when V is creating the advantage through the post I don’t like that as much I think those are ones that often times can feel

Really forced compared to an open three that he’s getting as a result of ball movement it’s not like Billy’s just designing a play to get vua three it’s usually like somebody else’s play that gets broken down and then V is the open guy exactly right and when he takes

Those threes where I feel like it’s contested I hate it you know I can’t stand it he doesn’t do it yeah but sometimes he’ll take it I’m just like no but it’s few and far between but I’m just I’m just want to just specify and just making sure everybody know I feel

You you’re right like when he goes up and takes it I’m not happy about it you know I’m like oh [ __ ] because he’s shooting like 20 something percent but I get why he has to take it because he’s got to keep that floor balance dalen Terry is another example y’all know I

Love him but damn it I know I know that shot probably ain’t going in but I get why he has to take that shot because it’s within that Rhythm and it’s open to him you got to take that shot man because him putting it on the floor and

Making a decision to get to the bucket might lead to a turnover which we’ve seen it happen before so or if he doesn’t feel comfortable with the shot swing it out you know rotate it back but a lot of times guys you got to take that shot when each offensive possession is

Really about trying to find for the team the best shot available sure and so often times that can be a dear isolation mid-range shot because that’s like the highest probability of the ball going in sometimes it’s ball movement sometimes it’s V in the post you also have to play

The guy’s Tendencies and where they’re comfortable and like V is very comfortable in certain areas of the floor in order to keep him in involved in the game you got to find him and keep him in a Rhythm by playing him in those positions so sometimes that’s at the top

Of the key sometimes that’s in the post like you can’t just have like a mathematically perfect scripted game because it’s not they’re not robots BB 4556 saying outside his abysmal three-point shooting Vu is actually playing well uh Conor adding in V was an absolute beast on the boards

Tonight he was he had 177 uh 12 of those defensive boards it does stink that that one possession for the sun’s late that ended with the second chance Point uh kick out three to Durant just right from the top of key you knew as soon as KD

Pulled up from that I mean even before the pass found its way to Durant you’re like Bulls didn’t Coral the rebound right this is going to be a dagger from Durant you just knew it you just knew it you just it sucks that V who was among a

You know just a pile of players under the hoop on that mist couldn’t come up with that ball that sucks he did come up with 17 rebounds tonight that suck um got to talk about IO yes we do yeah should we take a break should we come uh

Yeah let’s take a break real quick um also Garson wants Billy to show him something when it comes to holding guys accountable and sit the big three when they aren’t performing we saw that one time and Zach is still mad about it so join us in reality won’t you you

Now and see how going electric connects us to a better way of doing business and a better future for generations to come boom doggy boom goes the dynamite uh and boom goes the dynamite all right wrapping up we got a few minutes left um I see Dave uh just

Another incredible night 30 minutes off the bench I Billy is clearly relying heavily on iO yeah has well uh surpassed Javon Carter in this rotation um basically he’s been leading the Bulls bench yeah um in minutes for the last month it feels or at least the last few

Weeks worth of games 13 points tonight on fairly efficient six of 11 didn’t knock down either of his threes but they were right you know you know they were close one of them went half three quarters of the way down yes also doing what we’ve come to expect from iio doing

On defense had a couple of steals tonight I mean what what can’t you say about this this young guy attack attack attack o transition I oh he’s just always in attack mode man and his layup package just becoming Mah it was awesome um the defense that he played when I

Can’t remember what who missed that first shot but then uh we saw the guy coming back down the other floor and then he took that away and went back down the score and got the dunk like it’s so much fun watching him play you

See him playing with a lot of fun a lot of smiles on his face when he’s out there playing basketball now uh and will you talked about just the Comfort level of him right now this season just say how comfortable he is I guess with the

Team and now being that way on and off the court you know it’s kind of showing you know on the floor and it’s amazing because you know to come from where this offseason was pretty much the last guy uh to sign with the bulls to resign I

Should say uh with the bulls and then it was a lot of questions and we talked about it here on the show like okay well where’s he going to fit you know will he get time like whose minutes is he taking and iio was never he never wavered you

Know in his confidence in his ability to get down out there on the floor and showcase what he can do he just needed the chance and so he was scoring as I kept saying like the game within the game like he was score needs Pockets you

Know and just when the Bulls needed a bucket B I got it I’m going I’m going to the bucket I’m and I’m finishing it’s so in control watching him go in and finish and it looks so chaotic until he gets to the rim and that is a real straightup

Skill that is a dude that got some real straightup skill as a finisher iow is becoming just really really dope at that man and knowing he’s got you know that little thing he can do as far as the inside pocket passes when he’s inside getting the big man involved even though

We did not like that pass to in that fourth quarter but that’s okay but he just really uh will just really looks like he’s com to his own is finding his own Niche on his team yeah you never feel like he’s really doing anything that is like out of his comfort zone or

Stuff that he doesn’t feel like he can do like he’s good at a lot of different things and he sticks to those things yeah um and going back to your point about like him in the rotation yeah I mean he was the last guy signed on the roster the Bulls paid more than

Technically they needed to because uh you know basically with the way that his money was working like they could have just offered him a smaller like closer to his cap hold and they overpaid technically to keep him and we were all kind of like Well why’d you do that if

You just signed Javon Carter to be your starting or backup point guard like where does IO fit into this and why are you now giving him more money than you needed to and I mean another guy that is just going to be on a steal of a

Contract yes for this year and two more after that um IO has been outstanding he’s outplayed his contract already and I just feel like his defense is so outrageously good that is kind of overshadowed at times because of how good Caruso is and just like the team

Being a really good defensive unit he was shutting down Bradley Beal for the majority of this game I know Beal had uh 17 18 points on 17 shots which is like not great efficiency MH um he blocked him a couple times waight that he was just getting over screens contesting

Shots picking Pockets he blocked the [ __ ] out of Bradley Beal on a drive gabri just mentioned that that block was insane he was just amazing and like the shots that be was making were tough shots with like contests he followed him once uh but I thought it was pretty

Ticky tack I did not love that call that was like one of them that I thought could have gone the other way um just really special defensive talent that they’ve got in iow and then yeah just turning that into offense and transition um attacking Closeouts like he’s just

He’s found the things that he’s going to need to do as like a role player that’s going to play a lot of minutes and he’s got good at those things and then yeah you like sprinkle in some of the pick and roll stuff that he did at Illinois

Uh I just he’s like very much in command of his game his confidence seems like it’s through the roof and he really knows his role and he’s executing it yeah uh Mias in the comments said I was at the game in Phoenix ad was out there practicing free throws after the game I

Assume you mean IO dumu and not Anthony Davis that’s awesome aw that’s awesome man like they yeah I like what their mindset is right now man like they really feel like they can win every game that they’re playing like again it’s a mentality the more they continue to play

The more they’re in these kind of games this is why this game was so exciting to watch because it wasn’t a fluke you know what I mean like they were really playing basketball it was fun to sit here and watch which is why I can sit here with some excitement like damn that

Was a fun ass game of course I wanted to win of course I wanted to get this Victory but damn like it just gave me like oh man we can really kind of do this right here this is a good it was a good game let me just say that it was

Just a good game flip side in the comment said anybody else hold their breath when iow went for that early layup on Grayson thought Captain dip [ __ ] might lay him out we we did but like Dave you had a good point which is like IO the way that he sort of slow

Played that layup in transition didn’t give gra an opportunity to pull some dirty fluky [ __ ] he didn’t allow it like he closed off his body and was like Hey Grayson I’m going to get this bucket and you’re not going to touch me that’s right he didn’t jump into him he didn’t

Tried to body contact which is what Grayson you know is known for and good for which is how he got Demar de like later on in the game yank down when dear’s coming through the paint exactly why man [Laughter] yeah all right let’s uh get to some

Super chats and get out here we’re already over time let’s super Joe let’s knock these out Joseph oh so many super chats so many chats so super AK said the Bulls played well until the end of the third lost their composure after drum and Tech moment uh that was a momentum

Swing wrest questionable calls Bulls had their chances it has a momentum swing for sure agreed uh some questionable calls you know uh I did look uh Bulls recall for 18 follows tonight Sun’s 13 so little you know little imbalanced but again the Bulls had plenty of chances to

Win this game regardless of what the rest were doing uh Adam Hoover shout out for the Super Chat saying why not put Drummond in for V when they’re just picking vo apart on switches in the fourth is it just ego and perception of being benched in the fourth no Drummond

Was getting cooked Drummond is not better in those situ he’s not not he’s not yeah the right decision was made tonight I understand why some Bulls fans especially in V’s short absence with his injury and we saw the Pistons version of Drummond we’re like oh my God we got to play Drummond

Even more minutes maybe even start him over vo and play will it’s like yeah cuz he was playing well but but like produ if that’s your specific you know argument about switches on defense Drummond is not better than vo yeah exactly production in the box score is

Not the same as executing a defensive scheme and Drummond is capable of switching out and guarding smaller players he gets those steals he gets out in transition that’s great uh but Vu is I think a much better Team Defender a scheme Defender and the way that the Bulls are successful and they are

Successful defensively is really reliant on executing that piece of the defense at a high level and V does that and I thought eubank’s got in his head mentally as well which why I was like no get him out of there give V back in the game man because he started coming for

Him you know what I mean uh the dww podcast with a 499 Super Chat thank you saying in all caps screw this team I spent my night watching that inexcusable I’m done with this play in BS trade V toar and LaVine please imaginary hat throw I’ll give you a real one go just

For you that’s for you also you’re just now deciding you’re done with the playing tournament [ __ ] cuz welcome to the party pal no [ __ ] that party we going baby let’s do this post season on the way keep playing Bulls let’s go uh Melvin windman in the comments with a

Super chat saying I still don’t get that Grayson Allen overturn call in tomor Bulls versus refs refs win P Wills should have had two free throw attempts on the tip end broke it down again will broke it down with the Demar Baseline midi which was if you watch the replay

Grayson did this in between dear’s two arms did not touch him no and then dear yanked Grayson’s arm on the way down that’s what happened and as will wrote read the rules via our friend Cody over at 670 that’s that is the correct call to make Wipe Out the basket if you’re going

To review it overturn it and call it an offensive foul basket’s no good even if it were a loose ball foul baskets wiped out and then the pat one I you seemed like you wanted free throws out of that yeah I saw Pat never really gain possession of that ball and

How do you call it a shooting foul if anything a loose ball I actually thought Pat might have like pushed on his Defender to try to like get a little bit more leverage like I I thought I thought no call but like that could have gone either way offense

Defense no no call uh yeah that just again not blaming ref tonight uh Jay bedy 123 said so that IO kid is becoming quite reliable he very much is I mean just they reliable thriving in this role playing 30 minutes off the bench pretty much every night yeah and it’s just

Doing all kinds of Wonder or the 19 Off the Bench uh Hoops Legion with a 499 Super Chat thank you saying even though we lost I’m still motivated by the way this team has been playing especially Kobe let’s go Bulls what a what a delightful Outlook let’s get Kobe to

That Allstar Weekend okay I didn’t say game there was a pause there was a small pause between you saying let’s get Kobe to that Allstar we can no you to be a pause just so you could throw that stank in there you just wanted to throw the stank in

Don’t put this on me who was was a it was a pause have they announced anybody who’s committed to the Three-Point Contest yet I don’t think so I think I’ve seen a couple of names for the dun the uh skills challenge that’s the only one I’ve seen right and I feel like we

Already got a couple names for the dunk contest including good old M mclung oh yeah got to get those ners back contest uh Mario P with a super chat uh got here late can’t rebuild this team after seeing this game teachable moments bad refs at most we trade Zach dear and see

The next phase some would call that a rebuild I would definitely call let’s not rebuild let’s just trade our two most expensive players that’s like the definition of a rebu oh bless your heart Mario appreciate MC a game like this swap Zach for dear and the ball movement and Pace

Continues which would have led to a win tonight oh Demar continued desire to slow things is hurting this team it’s not like the ball completely stopped moving uh in in the fourth quarter in the second half it it did get the game got just junked up a little bit they

Also stopped making their shots they were I think nine of 20 on threes in the first half and five of 14 in the second so like and the the suns were the other way I think they made like nine of 20 in the second yeah and like you know I saw

Somebody making a note of it on Twitter that the Bulls had 17 and says it halftime and I think they finished with only 25 you know you’re on Pace for 34 team assists you only finished with and I think they even had 22 halfway through the third quarter so really they only

Managed three assists for the last you know 18 minutes they proven they can do it they just need to do it consistently okay if if you just don’t uh brick all your shots down the stretch then then maybe it’s better I don’t think it was necessarily that it was

Like the ball stopped moving they stopped hitting shots yeah uh AK with the last chat saying uh no people hearing on Drummond hating harping on Drummond tonight uh but Alec cat has been really good the bowls this season leading Center the steals uh battling mental health 100% yeah he’s been

Playing well and you know’s been great hopefully we haven’t heard anything about you know the Drummond you know taking time off at some point last season to you know for the sake of his mental health and and emotional well-being hopefully everything’s good in that department he’s been good more

So than he’s been bad but just had a tough game tonight Hein had a bad game he did and a lack of drum ad minutes was not why the Bulls lost tonight this is a fact uh okay thank you guys for hanging out with us it is late on a Monday night
