Comes down to our lack of a functioning offense in crunch time. Derozan isn’t bailing us out as much and Lavine is shooting 36% from the field and 18% from three in in the clutch.
Lavine has only shot over 40% during clutch time twice in his Bulls career. At the end of the day we don’t have a closer and it’s killed us.
This is basically a clutch measure, right? We lose close games.
this stat is eye test confirmed
I’m inferring “underperforming ” as if they had bad luck, instead of what were witnessing as habitually changing how they play down the stretch; ie, not moving the ball and playing intense defense, insane coaching choices where Billy watches us get destroyed on the boards until we’ve blown the game. The results seem well deserved based on what we’re witnessing.
Now that’s an interesting advanced statistic.
We massively overperformed last season this felt like prophecy
Last season we were 46 wins with a point differential expecting 40
They did the exact opposite last year.
Demar isn’t bailing us out like last year essentially and the team is still a poorly constructed team
What’s would this indicate? That we can’t seal games we should be winning?
We’re the best at being the worst.
