Bulls Win in Zach Lavine and Vooch Return!

Bulls Win in Zach Lavine and Vooch Return!

An interesting game tonight for the Bulls going up against the Charlotte Hornets a win is a win and it was a win that they had to take which would have been unacceptable for the Bulls to lose against a super short-handed Hornets team who were without their best players

And then they even lost PJ Washington he had to leave the game early in the first half and yeah the Bulls were without Patrick Williams Alex crew so obviously that’s going to impact their overall performance but uh the Hornets hung around in this one and it wasn’t because

They were playing well no in fact watching this Hornet’s team made me realize just how awful they are right now but they hung around because the Bulls would have the really nice plays nice possessions good stretches they were solid on defense for most of the game and then they would

Have these head scratching plays where you were like what are these guys even doing out there that was especially the case in the first half the Bulls turned the ball over a lot they were missing a lot of open looks Zach was passing the ball way too much which just feels

Bizarre to say but I’ll get to him in a minute but in the second half especially in the fourth quarter the blls finally button things up a bit started playing with better Pace more ball movement knocking down shots and because the Hornets are the Hornets naturally everything took care of itself from

There must have been nice to be out there in the stands in this game to see Zack LaVine and nikich both back in action in the lineup I have to say I’m jealous of those who were at the game tonight speaking of going to games in person it’s truly one of the best

Experiences you’ll ever have as a fan but for me personally the experience of buying tickets often times isn’t the best are you getting a good deal are you not getting a good deal are the tickets legitimate how do you know you’re not being scammed I mentioned this at one

Spot tickets years ago to a baseball game and I thought I was getting this amazing deal on the tickets super cheap and then when I got there the view was partially covered by a scoreboard which there was nowhere on the ticket or on the platform that I bought it from that

Indicated it would be partially blocked anyway you’re probably wondering why I’m telling this random story well it leads me into the sponsor of this video game time because with game time they take the guesswork out when it comes to buying tickets you shouldn’t have to worry when you buy tickets to your next

To be heavily scrutinized by everyone in this game the fans the media other teams who were trying to see if he’s a player that they should go after in a trade and you knew that he knew that as well and I feel like in the first half anyway you

Could tell that was on his mind might have been overthinking things a bit he was pretty passive overall on a lot of plays where you would see him normally drive to the basket with authority he would pass it up to the outside man he was even passing up on fairly open shots

I mean there were times where you would just see him standing around in the corner watching a play happen and look you knew there was going to be a little rust from Zack tonight he hasn’t played in 38 days it’s going to take some Reps

For him to get his win back up get back into the flow of the game and Zach did look a lot better in the second half a bit more decisive on offense was taking better shots wasn’t over passing he was cutting the basket and you know one

Thing I will say about Zach in this game and I noticed it more in the first half his energy on defense was much better than I’ve Seen It All season by far the most active and aggressive he’s been on defense still not the best playing off

The ball when it comes to the defensive side but he was at least trying on that end of the floor and looked like he cared and for Zach coming into this game talking about how he just wants to come in and do whatever he needs to do to

Help the team and fit with what they’re trying to do even if it’s the small things like recognizing he needs to put forth Better Effort on defense trying to move the ball more not just hoisting up a bunch of contested shots even just having that selfawareness and presence

Of mind when he’s out there is a good sign to me now I need to see it being done more consistently and of course against better teams and whether Zach is doing this more for himself to just increase his trade value so he can get moved or if he’s actually doing it for

The better than of the team I don’t know but if it helps the team win that’s all I really care about Zach finished this game coming off the bench with a minutes restriction 15 points on six for 11 shooting struggled from outside going one for five from three four rebounds

Four assists and was a plus4 on the night solid game for Zach let’s hope that continues as long as he remains with the bulls then there’s Nicola vuvi who also returned tonight like Zach also in a mince restriction he also struggled with his efficiency 5 for 12 from the

Floor 1 for five from three eight re rebounds three assists all in 24 minutes vuich he did have that monster throw down of a dunk that was the exclamation point at the end of the game I don’t even remember who that dunk was on because half the guys out there for the

Hornets I didn’t even recognize but whoever it was that was a poster they’ll remember for the rest of their lives now how about this from demard Rosen tonight played 36 minutes only took 10 shots in a game where the Bulls other two primary scorers came back he decided not to put

Up so many shots sacrifice some of those Touches for the better of the team he shot 6 for 10 5 for five from the line to go along with six assists and three steals finished the game with 17 points and a team high of plus 18 that’s

Another thing I’ve noticed about Demar d r roza because when you see the Bulls and their offense it still looks like Demar is pounding the ball a lot just dribbling up getting to his spot at the elbow but dear actually isn’t taking a lot of those shots that he would

Normally try and just pull up with a pump fake he’s getting to a spot but then trying to divert the defense’s attention and looking for an open man or a cut of the basket and generating offense that way it’s still not my favorite style of basketball and I would

Prefer to see the Bulls just keeping the ball moving but the point I’m making is DeMar isn’t just hogging the ball and putting up the majority of the shots that we’ve historically seen he only took 10 shots tonight while Kobe Vu and LaVine all put up more than him speaking

Of Kobe great game for him maintaining that shooting looks like he’s finally out of that shooting slump but it wasn’t just the 22 points on 7 for 12 shooting three for six from three and passing Scotty Pippen for fourth all time and the Bulls three point shooting list big

Congrats to Kobe for that by the way but it was definitely not a my bingo card to have Kobe white lead the team in rebounding in this game with both Andre jum and nikolaich playing kobby finished the game with a double double by snagging 11 boards and also going along

With six assists five turnovers though you know Kobe has been turning the ball over a lot more recently which has been very unlike him based on what we have seen this season it’s like going back to Kobe of the past where he always had a hard time taking care of the ball with

His loose handles and some of these are just turnover where he straight up loses the ball and traffic on a drive so hopefully he tightens that up a bit but it is good to see him impacting the game in other ways and also just getting that

Stroke back IO solid game for him played 40 minutes in this one 12 points five rebounds four assists a steal and two blocks getting it done on both ends of the floor and this coming off a bad game for him at Madison Square Garden uh how about dalan Terry getting his first

Start tonight with no Patrick Williams and Caruso in this game did he really go two for four from three when we talked about Terry developing that jump shot and how that’s going to be really key for the health of his overall career because he can do a lot of things when

He’s out there on the court impacting the game defensively pushing the pace and transition with his court Vision but he’s got to get that shot down and so to see him knock down a couple threes was a sight for Sor eyes oh and then how about Andre Drummond obviously didn’t see as

Many minutes with vich back but man was protecting the rim tonight not letting the Hornets get any easy buckets in the paint seven points 10 rebounds three blocks was bringing energy and muscle in this one looking like a men amongst boys on some possessions with his bully ball

In the paint but anyway Bulls tonight 29 assists very solid good distribution of the ball and overall scoring they were very efficient from the field shooting 54% which seems crazy because the Bulls offense overall looks so bad at times even when the shots were falling and they also shot 35% from three better

Than what we’ve been seeing recently Bulls improved to 16 and 21 thanks to the Hawks losing they’re back to 10th in the East and only a half game behind the nets for ninth still a lot of work to do and that trade deadline is approaching quickly just a little more than a month

Away now I’ll obviously keep you guys posted should any news break and as always be sure to subscribe and I will see you in the next one
