NBA Gametime reacts to John Collins is seen shoving Bulls assistant coach Chris Fleming
Utah Jazz they will fight all right so what a finish there the Chicago Bulls getting an important win 119 117 demard Rosen in his last two games now has 36 points in the fourth quarter uh 29 in this game but overshadowed with what happened on the sidelines late in
The game you don’t usually see that better start a fighting between these two teams CU somebody going home at the end of season Jazz with a Chance For the Win right there Kobe white stepping out of bounds so Jordan Clarkson 3 is no good but you get a good look at right here
Yeah that foot out of bounds what about number eight to push on Demar de Roan on the rebound he we and it’s seon getting a great look here yeah that was a a really physical screen that was set there to give him that opportunity I think he was a little bit surprised he
Was that open in the game situation was that a legal screen that should have been a switch though yeah I think it was yeah generally you’re supposed to always switch in those Situations but normally the inbounder guys the inbound guy you start in the middle 1 1,000 2 1,000 3 1000 to protect a back door for a left and then you automatically looking over your right shoulder because as you see this guy coming off you jumping the big should
Slide in you should be jumping out to take that pass the guy on the the ball that’s what you normally teach so again Chicago got lucky because that was look you don’t get that open look ever especially when the team got to have it yes that’s a pregame warm-up shot he was
So open he caught it he was open took a rhythm dribble and still never got contested so again great play by the coach but didn’t make the shot yeah figure out how did they run this play to get him it’s a simple play it’s not that
Difficult play if you switch it yeah I think I think Caruso and it looks like that was V they just weren’t set initially cuz there there was nothing that sophisticated about the action and I just think that every night everybody 20 time and the guy on the ball to my
Point he as he seeing you’re paying attention right that’s coaching you jumping 1 1,00 2 1000 I know the back door is taking away I’m jumping because the number one pass you trying to take away is that corner three because that’s the easiest three-point shot to take
Give some love to DeMar rosen here too 29 Points again mentioned in his last two games 36 points combined in the fourth quarter we were just talking about it during that break um he’s over 23,000 career points yeah that’s pretty amazing you think about the history of
This game I think there’s only 25 guys that have scored 25,000 and so he’s obviously heading in that uh into that spectrum and all those guys are in Hall of Fame so you know deard D Ro is one of those guys a little more understated you
Know you you don’t think of him that much but he has had a really consistent if is he a Hall of Famer if he gets let’s say he plays three four more years he gets to 28 29 it’s going to be interesting to see how you know he’s
Played multiple All-Star games he’s been a part of a lot of really good teams he’s obviously an elite level player the numbers if you if he gets to 30,000 points well 30 yeah I don’t and he’s got a chance if he plays cuz the way guys play longer everybody just in their
Career because you don’t have to play as many games now and the medical guys take so much better care of themselves and with the money out there now it behooves you to try to play as long as you can and you know he’ll be determined to go
For 30 tomarrow for sure 100% uh so again big win for the Bulls another game going on right now is on game time let’s take a look at the Warrior Way since January 30th the most wins rebounds and assists per game in that span second most threes made for per game time now
To welcome in Anthony Slater who covers the Warriors for the athletic I know you just got back from a road trip couple days off how you doing I’m feeling better uh you know refreshed how are the Warriors doing I don’t know they’re coming off a 52-point loss so they need
To get a little refreshed too right I know I know we don’t want to go back to the Warriors last game but we have to we can’t move forward without it a 52-point driving to the Boston Celtics what’s the team saying about how they want to
Respond tonight well I think that was a level fatigue and kind of you know pulling the parachute early in that game the way the Celtics were playing unbelievable but also it was the end of a four-game trip they just had a backtack that included some like nightmare travel day in Toronto and um
They’re feeling good refreshed they had a practice a rare practice in the middle of the Season at home yesterday Andrew Wiggins is back from a recent personal absence and this is the first time since late November they do not have anybody on the injury report they have their
Entire rotation available tonight so I think they’re feeling pretty good but it’s a tough matchup tonight yeah being back at home has to feel nice Brandon psky he’s also back after missing two games with KNE soreness you mentioned Andrew Wiggins being back after missing four for personal reasons what are your
Expectations with them being back into the rotation tonight yeah likely both starting I think psky is more of a sure thing to start than Wiggins because Wiggins missed you know kind of a longer period of time away but you know there’ve been two of the five uh keys in
That starting lineup that has really kind of propelled uh them back into playoff contention and uh you know it’s interesting because they’re very deep and even while Wiggins was gone and psky was out Moses Moody suddenly went from dmps to like really elevating himself in the rotation Steve C says
He’s still going to try to get moody minutes tonight but it’s really crowded especially with Gary Payton back Chris Paul recently came back from the injury it’s just a lot of options for Steve Curt he’s got to choose like basically 10 when he feels like he has 12 or 13
And I know Clay he’s had to kind of approach a different role this season back to coming off the bench with most likely with pky being back how have you seen him approach that role and really take advantage of it recently well he didn’t love it when it was first you
Know delivered to him Steve CT delivered the news the day before the All-Star break and you know I think there was a frustration level but then he took out his frustration on the court his first game Off the Bench he scored 35 points which I think was some type of like
Franchise record or maybe even NBA record or first game Off the Bench 35 points uh and he’s had a 25-point game since then a 23-point game so honestly he’s played better in that role and the point he keeps making is it’s not like I’m being demoted to 10 minutes a night
I’m still getting 25 28 minutes that’s still basically you know third fourth most on the team uh he is it’s a contract season that’s kind of loomed over a lot of this but uh he feels good cuz he’s shooting well and and you know today he he drove his boat across the
Water it’s a really nice day in the Bay Area he went on Instagram live everybody can go find it and he was he seemed to be in a very good mood because he was talking about fishing and how great the water was today well first of all I feel
Like just being on a boat in general just makes you in a good mood right being in the Bay area again too you can’t have a bad day with that let’s talk about Steph Curry for a second I know he’s coming up off of one of his worst shooting nights against the Boston
Celtics how is he feeling healthwise even though he’s not on the injury report yeah you know it’s it’s been an interesting couple weeks for him because Steve Kerr came out you know it was a little bit after the All-Star break he had some bad shooting nights and Steve
Kerr said he thought he was fatigued he didn’t really get an All-Star break he was at allar weekend then Steph came out and was like I’m not fatigued I don’t want a day off they didn’t give him a day off on the road trip uh he had some
Bad shooting nights some decent ones uh but in Toronto he kind of banged his knee and he showed up on the injury report for that Boston game with NE btis they call it his his uh knee kind of uh swelled up a little bit um but you know
He only played 16 minutes in Boston because they got blown out so bad so I think that plus the two days of rest he’s not on the injury report uh we’ll see how much better he’s feeling but he’s kind of needed a little break and I
Feel like the last two days it may be given him that yeah it’s getting to that point of the season the fourth quarter of the Season as we like to call it Anthony we appreciate you coming on enjoy the game tonight yep thanks for having me Anthony Slater who covers the
Warriors for the athletic thanks so much for joining us yes now let’s get into the Golden State Warriors for a second you just heard everything that he said do you feel like a good two days of rest coming off of that loss being back at home Now spee speech speee Fore Spee fore spee spee foree spee spee foree foree spee Foree For spe spee spee speech speee Fore fore Spee foree foree foree spee speee spee for foree Speee foreign for spee foree foree spee Spe
