I might be in the minority on this, but I really enjoy listening to players talk about the game and willing to be a bit vulnerable. This clip to me is dope because everyone assumes that specific skills come easy since you play basketball. Cutting is def something that takes time.

This Bulls stretch has been amazing, but before we get too far we need to appreciate DeMar and what he’s doing for this squad. He’s been a steady force. He’s really been what most of us wanted when the Bulls traded for him from SA.
We see you DeMar DeRozan.

One of the sequences that set TD Garden on fire.
The way that Caruso and Ayo guarded the Double Drag -->🤌
Caruso gets hit by the screen and gets put in jail, but doesn't stop fighting. Stays connected and gets a block that leads to an alley from Ayo to DJJ!

1st part of the clip is just showing the effort from Nikola Vucevic, who gets beat and recovers for a block at the rim. which leads to an offensive possession that illustrates how well he passes and reads out of the post and finds a shooter on the wing in Alfonzo Mckinnie.

I don't think this is a mirage from Coby. The way he is scoring the ball is what fits his game. Attacking closeouts, being a connector of sorts when on the floor with the big 3, while also being able to get his own bucket. Folks, Coby has found himself.

Pat has turned himself into a pretty damn good defender, man. I’ve clipped some posssessions.
He’s starting to become consistent as a backside sweeper, love the digs, the on ball defense is showing up. He’s still growing.
It’s important to keep track of that for the future.

More calm and quiet lower half, the footwork to step into his shot instead of the huge hop. Very much different and it takes time and he’s reaping the benefits.

I gotta tell ya, if I’m Billy Donovan we gotta have a talk as a squad after this one. Regressed back to the last year bulls with that performance late. Shots can be rusty, but the decision making late has to be better. They can’t be satisfied with this win.

I always look to add to my bag in terms of coaching and I stumbled upon this great explanation of how to defend PnR in drop coverage.
When you get mad at Vucevic for not contesting pull-up middys in drop coverage here you go. This is great detail.

Don’t let this Bulls season distract you from a developing young player. Read about it, my friends. 👇🏾👇🏾
In the NBA, not all star paths are direct. With Patrick Williams, the
#4
pick in the 2020 draft,
@_LarroHoops
sees more than a role player with potential still untapped.
On why the Chicago Bulls should prioritize Pat's development ASAP. Check it out below!

Depaul may be pretty good this season.

This may sound crazy, but I hope when we see the Bucks they are close to full strength. I want to see what this roster looks like against that team. If I’m AKME I’m taking a hard look at that game to see what are the weaknesses that need to be fixed against a top East team.

I honestly just don’t understand how you could watch that game, and not come to the same conclusion as Jackson.
The Bulls are trusting Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso with too many ball-handling responsibilities. It's fine to let your good off-ball scorers, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, work in those roles sometimes, but Chicago is really overdoing it.

The 6'4 combo guard Keyonte George had a stellar game against Texas Tech this week. He is cementing himself as one of the best shooters in this class. According to

he grades out as an 87 in 3PE, shooting 36.7% on 7.7 attempts this season.

Bulls thoughts:
- Bulls have really impressed me in terms of having a lead once again, while dealing with disjointed offense. This time against a pretty good team.
- Billy needs to be a bit more creative with Zach off-ball(floppys, staggers, split actions, zipper action)

My 2 cents this morning on the Bulls:

2. Go all in on tankin this season and bring in a guy like Bub Carrington or Isiah Collier to solve the PG issues.
Have a great rest of your day

Coby has done some great things this year when it comes to scoring, but he has to improve on making reads in PnR. Bradley is in Drop here and doesn’t do a good job of staying with the screener. Wendell slips w/no tag man. That should be a lob for a dunk.

Loved this from still 14yo Devin Cleveland.
Knocks down the first 3 off the pick, and the very next offensive possession reads the hedge and is able to beat the big and shows off the fluidity in his handle to get in the paint and draw a foul. This kid is a player.
