The Cardiac Bulls Strike Back in Nail-biting Win vs Jazz



The Cardiac Bulls Strike Back in Nail-biting Win vs Jazz

Oof those cardiac Bulls man I love them I love this team but can we ever just have a good handily one game where we don’t have to worry and can feel comfortable going into the final minutes of the game and it also would have been

Nice for the Bulls to put the Jazz away early in this one and you got to see some garbage time where the key guys could get some rest before they travel over to San Francisco tomorrow to take on the Warriors a game I’ll be at by the

Way and I could have maybe just maybe seen arrested Demar and Kobe for that game two guys who lead the NBA in minutes play this season but no of course that can’t happen the Bulls have to add another clutch game to their docket even against a very short-handed

Jazz team with Kobe playing 42 minutes in this one and Demar 38 but again I’ll take the win I’ll take the back-to-back win so far on this West Coast trip I’ll take the Jazz blowing two wideopen opportunities to take the lead and win the game with a three in the final 9

Seconds I almost lost my mind at the rest for nearly handing this game over to the Utah Jazz had either one one of Clarkson or seon’s threes gone down because how on Earth was John Collins not assessed two technicals and thrown out of the game for choking Chris

Fleming I’ve never seen an instance where a player puts his hands over another coach’s neck and just gets a technical and stays in the game I was absolutely Blown Away by that call especially when Fleming was just trying to diffuse the situation after Craig got up in seon’s face when he took acception

To that hard intentional foul DeMar rosen how is it that walking away from that altercation the Bulls were assessed two technicals one on Craig one on Fleming and the Jazz just got the one technical on John Collins which gave the Jazz a free throw since the Bulls got

Two T’s and the Jazz just won I would have been okay if they had given both Tory Craig and Chris Fleming each a t and Collins two and he was thrown out of the game which would have made the penalties offset but leaving the guy who

Tried to choke out a coach in the game that was just beyond wild to me like when the scuffle started happening I thought okay great the game is over because Collins is for sure getting thrown out after seeing that and the Bulls will get at minimum one free throw

If not two and Demar can then ice it by following up with the free throws from the actual personal foul anyway enough ranting about that but yeah screw the refs that was such a questionable call to have the Jazz walk away from that situation with a free throw of their own

You know what was odd about this game though is that the Bulls weren’t that great in the clutch in my video from earlier this morning I was talking about how the Bulls have been shockingly good there I say Elite in clutch situations defined by the league as a game within

Five points for five to go and when this game became a clutch situation first of all I was annoyed that it got to that point against this Jazz team but at the same time I thought eh the Bulls got this they’re one of the best teams in

The league in these moments but tonight they allowed the Jazz to go on a 10 run and actually take the lead in the final two minutes kept me on edge the whole time but thankfully dear staying cool Cal and collected at the foul line enable the Bulls to pull out a win I

Will say though there were some possessions from dear that were not it some drives and fadeaway jumpers that were one and them possession where he missed the shot and the Jazz scored on the ensuing possession like I said in the game against the Kings I would have

Liked to see Kobe getting the ball more in those moments this was another quiet fourth quarter from Kobe Kobe had seven threes halfway through the third quarter and didn’t take a single three thereafter Kobe was on fire in this game could not miss and yet somehow they

Could not get him the ball they could not get him looks in the final minutes now I get it the Jazz were guarding him very differently after he went 7 for 11 from Deep so it’s not like he was Finding easy ways to get open because he was obviously being defended very well

But with Demar controlling the ball Kobe playing off the ball I would have liked to see some of those drives to the basket by Demar to kick it out to Kobe when he’s being heavily contested on a double team and had to force up a tough

Shot but yeah I mean what a game for Kobe came out on fire he was taking advantage of the fact that the Jazz are the worst team in the league and defending the perimeter another 25-point game for Kobe white 25 points on 9 for 15 shooting 7 for 11 from three six

Rebounds six assists only one turnover in 42 minutes making the right plays pushing the pace and transition Kobe finished with a team High plus n of the night and then dear you know despite the criticism I have of him in those final minutes he still had a very good game I

Mean we’re also not giving dear enough credit for all the minutes he’s putting in at his age and still playing at a very high level 10 for 21 7 for seven from the line 29 Points and six rebounds and seven assists and then vuvi had himself a nice game taking advantage of

The fact that the Jazz were without two of their big and marinan and Kesler Bulls were able to find him in the post and unlike what we’ve seen from time to time this season vich was actually efficient in finishing inside 11 for 18 23 points to go along with 12 rebounds

Caruso man Alex Caruso is just a Madman on defense I’ve said this recently on Twitter I know he’s not going to win defensive player of the year because it’s so hard for guards to win that award and everyone thinks goar is going to run away with it anyway but what he’s

Doing this season and being top five in steel percentage and even top 20 in Block percentage which highest among all guards in the NBA the number of deflections per game the way he reads screens knows where to be he is just so gifted on that end of the floor that he

Deserves consideration for that Ward tonight not only did Alex guso have another game in which he had four steals like he did against the Kings but also three blocks he also seemed to get his three-point stroke back after having a really off shooting night in Sacramento

He was three for seven from three in this one you know IO it wasn’t really his night tonight offensively went cold shooting two for 12 but it was good to see contribute in other ways with nine assists and actually the Bulls yet again another game where they move the ball

Well as a whole 29 assists as a team after telling 28 the other night only seven turnovers so taking care of the ball despite the better movement and the Bulls shot the ball incredibly well in this game one of the better shooting nights we’ve seen from them from

Downtown hitting 17 threes in total going 17 for 39 43% from three 50% from the field to be honest it’s actually shocking the game was as close as it was with the way the Bulls were shooting the ball the biggest difference there was the Bulls allowed way too many Second

Chance points to the Jazz which kept them in this game Jazz had 14 offensive rebounds in total and they were without their starting front Court in this game that can’t happen especially when the Bulls are such a great rebounding team as of late but anyway the Bulls they get

The win they give us a hard attack but they get the win still chasing that elusive 500 record now two games back of 500

Reacting and recapping the Bulls narrow win over the Utah Jazz

  1. Yeah u are right on collins choking our coach and was not given 2 techs and ejected. The refs really hate the Bulls. And u are right on that game.. bec i almost got a heart attack.

  2. Collins is probably still salty from last year’s Ayo game winner when the bench stampede over him lmao

  3. I just cant believe that after collin choked a coach we got 2 techs and them 1! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! I would probably be ok on a tech each on both teams but how did it go in favor to the one who instigated the aggressiveness.

  4. Jamal those 29 asts are deceiving. We had 26 going into the 4th. We completely stopped playing team ball in the last frame. Im really sick of just pick n roll or iso Demar as soon as the 4th qtr starts. We'll get a decent lead and then just stop doing what got us that lead. I want Billy gone SO bad.

  5. Not only did Collins put his hands around our coach neck, but to end the game he sets an illegal screen ties up Caruso and throws him to the ground which is why Sexton was so open in the corner on that last 3.

  6. Demar and Vooch actually carried us this game. I just need to see offensive rebounds. How do we get 74 rebounds against the Cavs and four games later we have this poor an effort. Torrey Craig come back tmrw plz 🙏

  7. I am a bulls fan and they were making me mad when they almost lost but idk what to say about John Collin’s I mean he should’ve been ejected but he’s actually my cousin not a close one though

  8. My thoughts are these. Bulls overreacted over the hard foul which wasn't intent to injure. Craig would of never got a tech if he just sat down. He escalated the situation by standing up and yapping. Yes putting your hands around somebody's neck should an easy thrown out. You gave kind words to Vucevic I didn't see it that way. With the level of competition in front of him he should of scored 50. It was that easy. I give Ayo a pass he's been great lately. We could use a healthy Craig to help our bench who has only played 33 of 62 games. We have 20 games left now the fun begins.

  9. Collins should have been ejected for sure but man sometimes I think you got some bias against DeMar or something lol. Man wills this team to life in the 4th
