A nice little 2for this week Donny!! Great all around game for the Bulls last night. Definitely did not expect that with 2 starters and our 6 man out. It helps when you make 25 threes.

I am so inconsistent with my thoughts on Coby. Of course he puts up 30 on 8 threes the day after I tell my GC I’d rather have Lonzo than coby. I still stand by that statement though. Coby is a spot up shooter, he can get to the rim at times but he’s not an above average finisher and his passing is subpar with multiple turnovers per contest. It is nice though knowing he is 20 years old and can only improve. I like Jake’s take with him coming off the bench, being another scorer with Otto. Patrick Williams has been nothing but solid night in and night out aggressively guarding the opposing teams best player. Combine that with 47/40/80 splits and you cannot ask for more out of the guy other than to shoot more. Only players in the draft better than him are Melo, Wiseman, and Haliburton is a close one but Patrick is a better fit for our team with his defense and length as a stretch forward.

I am itching to murder the Sox ml and run line any time they face a left handed pitcher. Got me out of so many holes. It’s going to be hard to replicate their offensive stats with how well they did last year but they have so much youth and skill it should be exciting. Moncada is going to have an incredible year. He missed time with covid last year and always seemed not 100% he has been under the radar this offseason and I think he will have significant contributions in 2021. Onto the clippers

Im a big Coby White fan and for most of this season I thought he should undoubtedly be the starter. Then at halftime last night I was scrolling through the box score and saw that he was at a -9, while Sato was a +17 and simultaneously as I was looking at that, big Z looked over to tell me the exact same stat line. We got to talking about how great of a scorer he is and how his play could land him as a perennial 6th man of the year award contender. He's still one of my favorite players on the team, but he should not be our starting point guard at this point.

We got Petey throwing game 5, Schill throing game 6. Game 7? Anything can happen.

Fired up for the Bulls tomorrow night, and especially excited to see PWill match up against Kawhi. That was nearly a must win for the Bulls coming off three bad losses, and like you said the most promising part was seeing them come out of the second half. Lavine looks much more mature. Last season, if he had 40 points in the 3rd quarter he would have been sprinting to the inbounder to bring a ball up and isolating to a bad shot or an ugly out of rhythm kick out pass. It was nice to see him get the ball in the flow of the offense and let his game come to him (for the most part).

These injuries are starting to add up. We were a rolled ankle away last night from seeing a lineup of Kornett, Felicio, Valentine, Arcidiacono and Chandler Hutchinson.

DMAN! Some of your best work. Man I love arguing with you but this was great. "And here come the chants". I thought at first that the Mike Pettine hire was a good thing with his familiarity with the division and more specifically the Packers, but now I'm worried. That video with him and Shanahan is hysterical and he will fit right into the Bears culture. Excited to see who gets the blame this year when the team underperforms.

I love Patrick Williams and don't really have a lot to say but for a 19 year old my God does he play some smart basketball. Would like to see him a little more trigger happy, but absolutely can't complain. If you could redo the draft, any chance you would take Haliburton over him?
