Zach Claypool
Finally its fun again to watch this Bulls team! This is what Chicago basketball should look like. Everyone is fighting, hustling and helping each other on the court. Coby is looking like a PG we truly need! It’s amazing we’re watching PWill flourish before our eyes.I hope Zach gets his you know what together. Honestly he’s gonna have to fall in line if he wants to join in otherwise maybe the locker room will turn on him. Take That!
Bulls came out flat first half, 3rd quarter is what helped bulls..
There’s so much to like about games like this from Chicago like the assists or 3 point shooting but I’m gonna give it up to the efffort in the 24 offensive rebounds. That’s a winning effort
Coby is taking over as leader of this team
I thinks it’s a little telling that these boys are running hard WITHOUT Zach in the lineup. Cobe showing he can run this offense on a consistent basis. P dub starting to shine.. CRAIG BEASTMODE on the defensive side and those 5 threes def help!! A lot of options starting to show and on nights when Demar is off we don’t need to depend on him and he STILL makes his presence known. Luv ya Kap
This tells you what the potential of this team is. Evaluate the market for Zach Lavine and make a trade that makes this team better today and in the future. Plenty of good players out there that would love to play in Chicago.
Defense = applying pressure, flying around,diving making plays , not to many second chance points
Offense = spreading the ball around, 3 pointers falling , offensive awareness, 2nd half got better more efficient and became unpredictable
My biggest take away from tonight's game is that the Bulls actually have some very talented players. Coby White has really improved. P Will isn't dominating but he has had significant contributions in every win. Even Torrey Craig is a solid bench player. Consistency is the key going forward.
Pat was the take away end of story we witnessing a boy turn into a man
Thanks kap take that spurs rookie
My biggest take away would be role players are having a bigger impact now without Lavine in the lineup. Patrick Williams shows signs of life and could be come a legit scorer for the bulls.
The Biggest Takeaway for me, even when the Bulls are struggling like they were in the first half they still fight and dont seem to panic, They stay with in the gameplan.
My 2nd take away is, in 4 wks when Lavine comes back, (because he will be back because AK/Eversly arent capable of getting anything done) they're going to thrust Zach back in to the lineup and itll be back to playing heartless ball.
100 percent agree
The last 4 games the Bulls passes are like GPS always on point, moving the ball matters. No hero ball equates to team wins!!!
Coby and PWill are playing more loosely,Ball distribution is allowing the paint to Free up for Voochie Mane.The shot clock isn't the enemy anymore 😂Demar Can close without being exhausted offensively.The Bulls have been playing extremely unselfish basketball and It's a bright spot in a City Dark in The world of sports 😢#SEERED!!
My biggest take away was the continued efficiency by Cobe White from the field (especially the 3pt line). Also helped seal the deal at the end by securing a lose ball from Torrey Craig. Let’s go!!
My takeaway was watching the ball move the 24 offensive rebounds Patrick Williams relentless on the glass just a good team win Damar having a rough night shooting and still having the presence of mind to put them away funny how the Billy Donovan hate goes away when Zach's not there to not pass
You know what this team showed tonight? FIGHT. GUTS. DETERMINATION. Taking the 16-18-or-20 shots away from Zach and distributing it along the rest of the roster is making this team better. That is not debatable; at this point it's fact from both the statistics and from the eye test.
The last time I remember seeing this team play with any sort of hair-on-fire mentality, Thibs was stalking the sidelines. Billy Donovan isn't the last man to win back to back NCAAM championships for nothing – he is a good coach and he was a hellacious Warriors 3-1 rally in 2016 from being in the finals his first year in the NBA. It is the ownership and front office that's failed Billy all these years giving him a roster with a selfish player on it. I think right now, we are finally seeing what Billy-Ball can look like.
Kap……you are a blow hard….TAKE THAT!!!!!!
My and my son are huge bulls fans and I used to read your column growing up playing basketball in Chicago public league red south at cvs my son never been to the united center what a gift I could have gave him keep up the good work kap take that
Zach got claypooled
Listening to the Spurs announcers they thought the Spurs had an easy win because of the slow pace of the Bulls offense and lack of three point shooting. Surprise.
Disagree Cap…Agree Zach has been playing worse due his motivation issues. But in previous games it was obvious the biggest issue was when both DeMar and Zach played together. Bulls in the games they lost had good spurts of them playing good with Zach playing without DeMar! The problem is the Bulls can't handle 3 big defensive liabilities, as good as Caruso is he can't cover 3 players by himself!
I’d be intrigued to see this team without demar, seems like the young guys play well with vooch, and vise versa
Keep demar baby
Good but they not playing elite teams Spurs are young
Kap ! With 6 minutes to go in the game the Bulls had the lead and they never gave in 👍 RELENTLESS. My how things have changed ! GO BULLS !!
Kap! Bulls looked as competitive as ever against adversity that is Wembanyama and Co. PWill: best game as a Bull? He looked like a completely different player this game and I hope he can build off this performance. Coby: plays with heart and hit plenty of big shots to keep the team in this game. Craig: LIGHTS OUT. Can’t wait to hopefully see this Bulls team take on Wemby live at the UC, if I’m lucky! Cheers
My take is the players do not want Zach to return. I’ve yet to get the impression that Zach is actually missed by the players.
Usually, if a star player is out, the team is working hard to cover for them. But it seems like the team is more about replacing him! When Zach is hurt, the bulls are happy and have a future, ha!
HOLY CRAP
It says everything how there isn’t really a trade market for Zach.
Agreed I think not having him travel with the team was a good move. He's mad about them shopping him but that's a part of the game bruh ignore them and play. This ain't about your feelings it's about championships when you think your better then the franchise and they can't win without you you get proven wrong in the worst way. For all them teams who think he gone come in and boom y'all win let me throw out a few names the entire Lakers team lol. Westbrook, KD, Kyrie Irving, I know I'm forgetting a few but that's my point none of them got a ring last year
Kap I feel ya but I think Zach just doesn’t know that he needs to play this way which will actually make his game better. That basketball IQ thing.
been listening to this all day
Best take away from tonights game is Billy Donovan can coach. I lost all faith in him at the end of last year, but this win streak has real showed alot. Young players playing better, Donovan can develop talent. Zach has been stunting the growth of our young players. Back up the uhaul and get him out of town!
Simply put … December 15th can't come quickly enough!
Coby White gaining the confidence and taking that leap has been huge for this team already this season and going forward. Love Patrick Williams taking double digit shots and was super efficient as well as confident. Have to let your young guys grow in the NBA and these guys are doing it infront of our eyes without the blackhole Zach Lavine in the lineup.
My Biggest takeaway from this game has to be the energy this team is playing with and also the coaching. When this team is not playing iso ball and guys are cutting to the rim and setting guys up for a better shot, they’re a really good team. This game tonight in particular the bulls hit a wall and still found a way to walk out of there with a win. #ScrappyBulls Love these questions Kap!! #TakeThat
Patrick Williams has become an NBA player since Lavine went down. All of a sudden the #4 pick looks like he has potential – for the first time since he arrived in Chicago. Could be a HUGE addition by subtracting Lavine.
Glad to see the effort and the wins !
Your absolutely right KAP
With out Zach the bulls are a way different team everyone is getting alot of assists and buckets they are playing team basketball 4 people has 20 plus Patrick willimes and the offense just runs better trade Zach and get something for him to replace him we have a better chance without him
I been a Bulls fan for 30 years and this team without Zach Lavine plays better team Basketball. Better passing better defense and better team Basketball. And our young players are getting better.
Kap the difference why PW playing differently is because the fast pace has opened up his game not stifle it.
Best takeaway is for years media has discussed the lack of development for Bulls players and finally with taking away Zach’s shots and giving them all around (especially Coby and Patrick) Bulls look like they are developing their young talent correctly. Excited to see this young talented group build and learn together around Vuc and DD. Go bulls!
Best take away from the game and the win streak is Billy Donovan looks happy and stress free from Zach this team is making Billy look like the coach we hired him to be. #takeThatZach
