The Bulls Beat Down the Indiana Pacers in Impressive Win

The Bulls Beat Down the Indiana Pacers in Impressive Win

After the worst loss of the Season nay the worst loss of the continuity era as I now like to call it losing in a lackluster effort against the worst team in the NBA the worst team in the NBA who didn’t have their key players and had to resort to starting guys on two-way

Contracts after a loss like that the bipolar Bulls strike again and not only beat one of the best offensive teams in the league they smacked them down so badly handing them arguably their worst loss of the Season holding them to below 100 points for the first time

In their season you can’t make this stuff up I don’t get this team I never know what to expect from these guys like just when I said yeah it’s done they’re going to make the play in but not a chance in hell they’re going to make it

Out of it because a loss like that to the Wizards and playing some of their worst basketball in the final stretches of the year that doesn’t bow well for your team’s confidence but now after a game like this against a team that is actually trying their best to win right

Now to stay out of the playin by holding on to that six seed I don’t know man I guess anything is possible at this point this game got a little scary when the Bulls came out flat to start the second half like after they went up 21 had a

Commanding lead played incredibly well in the second quarter in a big part thanks to Javonte green making his debut on the season who I’ll get to in a little bit but that third quarter was a little too reminiscent of so many games we’ve seen this year where the bull

Start out with a big lead and then blow said lead in the third quarter of course the opposite has been true the Bulls have found themselves in a big hole and have come back to life in the second half in a game to all but lose it but

The Pacers definitely made this a game where I thought the bull s were going to blow yet another one after having an impressive first half the Pacers kicked off the Third on a 70 run they managed to cut the lead to seven at one point I tweeted this but the Bulls looked

Absolutely gassed they were missing shots left and right they looked like they did at the start of the game against the Wizards the other night and I thought to myself well here we go again but the Bulls responded very well they didn’t let up and hit the Pacers

Right back where they started and finishing off this game early where the Pacers cleared the bench 5 minutes left to go in the game why Billy Donovan didn’t do that as well and even ended up keeping vuvi and Kobe in the game longer made absolutely zero sense to me like he

Initially took out Al kuso then he subbed out Demar Rosen and when he did the intentional foul to bring dear out I thought okay they’re bringing out all the starters but then for some reason Kobe white and vich remain in the game when the Bulls were up by 25 points I

Don’t know I get that you kind of want to develop a level of consistency with some of these rotations but in a game that’s clearly over which is a rarity for the Bulls to happen so early and you have an opportunity to give your guys some extra rest just do it anyway maybe

Billy Donovan left vuvi in the game because Vu barely got shots up the other night and they certainly made a point of that in this game where Vu had five shots in the first five minutes of the game whereas he had five shots in total against the Wizards was a good game for

Vich 22 points on 9 for2 shooting came out aggressive early was attacking the paint despite the Pacers having one of the better Rim protectors in the NBA and Miles Turner 22 points and 12 rebounds you know I was going to talk about the Bulls offense which was great tonight in

Shooting 50% from the field 44% from three excellent ball movement guys were cutting and moving without the ball well 28 assists in total they outwork the Pacers on the glass 54-40 only turn the ball over seven times but the defense was much much more impressive in this game again you’re

Talking about the number two offensive team in the NBA by offensive rating the number one team in the league in points per game and the Bulls absolutely shut down all of their main offensive weapons nart LED all scores for the Pacers with 18 that’s it SE yakum 2 for S nemith 2

For 11 halberton four for 15 was 3 for 11 from Deep Miles Turner 12 points and only four rebounds like yes the Pacers were also a bit off tonight because they also missed some open looks that these guys normally make but the Bulls were great on their switches tonight

Excellent closing out on the shooter great off ball defense and reading Cutters to the basket and of course Alex Caruso was just Alex Caruso who was all over halberton and making it a nightmare for him to get any kind of open looks what a game for AC I mean a plus 23 in

This one 12 points on Five for 10 shooting seven rebounds seven assists two steals he was doing everything the Bulls needed him to do on both ends of the floor and generating offense but being the ball stopper they needed him to be for one of the best offenses in

The league I would assume you know Billy Donovan mentioned that he wasn’t really feeling well in this game but it didn’t really seem like the case with the way that he was playing still effective and efficient on offense 7 for 11 from the floor three for five from three 17

Points but also just as locked in defensively Kobe white though struggled again he started to get things going towards the end the end of the game finally started finishing on some of his drives had better ball control and handles he ended up finishing the game with 18 points but on eight for 21

Shooting two for five from three didn’t get the foul line at all in this game seven rebounds and two assists I will say I was encouraged by what we saw from Kobe in the fourth quarter he kind of started looking like his old self again and hopefully that continues going in

The next game but man and I tweeted this but that injury that sidelined him for a few games really is killing his most improved player candidacy the way he’s playing down the stretch might be tough for him to be able to walk away without award I mean we’ll see how he closes out

The last nine games if he starts getting hot more efficient on offense then yeah he’ll find himself back in the running but it’s not looking good for him right now to be able to win that award then of course dear obviously great was a plus 19 27 points 9 for 18 six rebounds

That’s also the fact that dear was key in helping stop the bleeding when the Pacers got themselves back into the game into single digits calming the guys down getting them a bucket when they needed it and of course closing things out in the fourth quarter as he does best

But listen we’ve got to talk about javante green his first NBA game of the season he was initially signed by the Warriors played for their g- league affiliate before getting waved Bulls pick him up on a 10-day contract not sure why Billy Donovan didn’t get him in

The last game when the Bulls certainly could have used his energy but javante makes his return and instantly has an impact on the game don’t get me wrong he had some not so great plays a couple of bad turnovers some missed assignments on D maybe shaking off some Russ after

Having not played in NBA game for so long but seeing him come back igniting energy into the group in the second quarter that sparked that run to bring the Bulls up 20 and then again in starting off the fourth quarter to get the Bulls back to a big scoring lead

Again I know that’s not all because of javante green but it’s the energy his effort and hustle that gets the guys fired up strong defensive effort the Bulls were a plus 26 when he was on the court and just 19 minutes of play Five Points four rebounds hit a nice Corner

Three when the Bulls were going on a run we needed back baby it was good for The Vibes brought the atmosphere back to the United Center and above all you got to be happy for javante who has gone through this journey where it looked

Like he might not be able to play in the NBA again and getting another chance on a team where he meant so much to the organization is also just such a fgood story anyway Bulls get the win an impressive win the Sixers also lost again tonight that puts them now only

Four games ahead of the Bulls very unlikely the Bulls can catch them for the eighth seed but who knows crazier things have happened with this team if they can keep playing like they did tonight and the Sixers don’t get dill and bead back it’s not out of the

Question we’ll see though the Bulls got the Nets on Friday I’m going to be traveling tomorrow and for the weekend to see my family so I might be out of pocket a bit here and there if there’s some breaking news but until then guys as always be sure to subscribe and I’ll

See you in the next one
