I believe what I told you boys was not to be FAT, Bald and Stupid which is why I read so much. I prefer to think that I am fat and husky.

Yes, I almost had a heart attack when DeRozan shot that first game winner. I was screaming "what the hell are you doing". And this came after I argued with Jack Donlan that I think Lavine is a better end of game option. I stand by that statement.

Recency bias is very real. Not that I think that Demar will regress much but put into perspective it has only been 32 games for him. Also as you pointed out, if Demar were averaging a few less points per game- the convo would be where does this Zach Lavine season rank all time for the Bulls?

Maybe I'm still too in love with the core roster of the early 2010 bulls, but the Joakim Noah top 5 MVP season to me is so impressive just due to his apparent lack of ball skills compared to the rest of the NBA. Demar's offense has been almost equally as impressive as Jo's defense that year, but tough to compare. Wish I was old enough to experience Scottie's '94 season but was cool to relive it during the Last Dance.
