The Bulls are attempting to complete their first 4 game winning streak of the season when the Phoenix Suns come to town Friday night. The Suns are recovering from a home loss to LaMelo Ball and the Hornets where they were out of sync for the majority of the game and are hoping to get back on track.
Go Suns!!!

It's just funny (well not really), ironic I should say how things like this always happen.
We mess around in a game that we should have won easily and then left trying to desperately pull off the win late. So for those who might not have noticed
CP3 is going to miss intentionally so we can try get an offensive rebound to go for a game tying 3. Dario scraps with Hayward and able to force a deflection that lead to Book having his last minute shot attempt
Not only shouldn't the game have come to that, but we needed an offensive rebound and Monty felt better going with Dario than DA for obvious reasons.
Now here we are as a result of that play, just amazing really

Dario has been really snakebitten this season. Hope he'll be healthy when the playoffs roll around.
Not much to say about this game. I'm excited to see how Lavine is playing; I hear he's having a crazy season. I saw some stat that his most recent scoring month is second in Bulls history behind Jordan or something like that. Wow. I hope the guys come out with energy after letting that Charlotte game slip away.

Yes I would have posted a couple times in Around the League threads that I really enjoying watching Zach play. Glad he made the All Star team, I also think Carter Jr. is a talent who hasn't reached his potential but just happens to be playing some of his best ball recently.
Bad taste in our mouth now but big picture, since the 3 game losing streak to drop to 8-8 we have gone 12-3 and have not lost back to back games so as I always say. Let's just make wrong things right
On a lighter note, Coby gets to see his broski Cam

I wanted us to pick Levine in that draft. We could have had him but we picked Kendall Jenner or somebody instead. I'm fuzzy on the details.

TJ Warren, Lavine went right before our pick.

The Hornet game exposed to me our biggest weakness. Athleticism.
Miles and Malik destroyed us.

I sit corrected. I was thinking he was a later first round pick. That must have been somebody else the year I'm thinking about when we picked that slow point guard that was quickly out of the league.

I just looked at that draft...a lot of crap from mid lottery to the end of the 1st. You were almost better off just having a 2nd round pick. Khris Middleton, Draymond, Will Barton, Jae Crowder all went round 2.

I don't feel great about this game.
Bridges is going to have his hands full with Lavine. I don't think anyone can really stop him right now.
Ayton is due for his monthly appearance, so maybe he'll surprise us.

LaVine is one of the best bad shot makers there is. Hard to challenge his shot because he’s so athletic. I’m interested to see how Bridges does.

Seems like that only happens after an awful game where the coach, his players, the media, and all the fans call him out and say what a waste he is. Considering most of the team played like they didn't care last game, it doesn't feel like a Dominayton game.
Then again, he hasn't scored 20 points at all this month... and is the only guy getting over 25 mpg NOT to score 20 this month.

Frank our only backup big. Well unless you count Jalen. Might push him to the bench out of necessity.

Nice start defensively. They're clearly trying to get the ball to Ayton more.

Booker on LaVine is an interesting choice
