The Bulls Are Now 10-5 in Their Last 15 Games in Win Over Sixers

A needed win for the Bulls it wasn’t pretty at times the Bulls overall were more sloppy than usual for a team that leads the league in the least amount of turnovers turning it over 16 times tonight they continue to struggle shooting it from deep as well but in a

Game where the Sixers were without Joel embiid they played last night in Houston traveling over to Chicago getting in late last night no excuses you have to win this one and I know the Sixers are still a solid team even without embiid but for the Bulls this is a game you

Have to take that would otherwise be marked as a loss in the schedule and what a night yet again for Drummond didn’t have the best game against the Pacers because he found himself in foul trouble couldn’t finish as easily at The Rim but tonight it was back to Drummond

Doing a little bit of everything out there and even when they tried to implement the hack of Drummond at the end of the game didn’t phase him split the free throws on all of those and then threw it down with authority in the Sixers faces with the dagger to put the

Bulls up 18 with two minutes left Drummond tonight 15 points 6 for eight from the floor three for 10 from the free throw line yikes but 23 rebounds two Steals and three blocks the Sixers without MB just did not have an answer for Drummond when it came to boxing him

Out the Bulls as a whole out rebound of the Sixers 53 to 36 also helped that the Sixers shot the ball very poorly at 39% while the Bulls shot 50% the Bulls had 62 points in the paint one of their highest on the season I mean they’re a

Team historically at least this season anyway doesn’t operate and score that much on the paint they’re one of the lowest scoring teams in the league in the paint but tonight they were pushing the ball inside with no MB which is exactly what you have to do knowing that

Guys like B Reed and Tobias Harris aren’t going to be a threat in protecting the rim you know I mentioned this game was a little sloppy on the part of the Bulls in large part because of the turnovers but you also have to give a lot of credit to the Bulls in

Their defense especially on tyres Maxi who shot eight for 22 tonight two for eight from three the Bulls were all over him and not giving him anything both in driving to the hoop and from outside I mean Maxi is having a career season and the Bulls did everything in their power

To stop him on offense and to force guys like Kelly UB or Paul Reed to put up shots which both of those guys could not get the rhythm going like it won’t show up in the stat sheet but the Bulls were locked in defensively very few Mis qes

And staying on their man making the right switches recovering on help defense which is why the Sixers shot so poorly because so many of their shots were heavily contested oddly enough on offense the Bulls two best scorers didn’t really shoot the ball particularly well I’m not saying it was

Terrible but for Kobe white seven for 15 one for five from three finished with 20 points eight rebounds but also five turnovers you know we need to see Kobe white get his stroke back because you can tell he’s a little more timid in taking those threes there were multiple

Times where he had enough separation or his man getting lay over on the clothes out and he would pump fake and drive to the basket he had only had taken four threes in the game that last one was just a three that he threw up after the

Game was already over in the final seconds and I get it I’m sure it can get to you mentally when you’re going through a shooting slump and you don’t want to just keep throwing up misses and shooting your team out of the game but Kobe’s too lethal to not continue to

Shoot those shots if he’s open he’s got to take those threes don’t pass it up don’t try to fake and drive it in traffic just shoot it those shots will start falling again and then the other guy that I was going to mention in those top two scores being obviously demard de

Rosen who still had a great game overall 24.6 rebounds four assists he was 9 for 17 though but was a plus 19 on the night great job at getting to the line maneuvering in and out of traffic finishing at the bucket not just settling for jump shots which again you

Have to do when Joel embiid is out of the game and then for Patrick Williams you know sometimes he gets good looks and the shots just don’t go down but what I like seeing is the way he’s generating those looks cutting the basket moving without the ball creating

His own shot by driving to the hoop out musling his opponent in the paint for the finish tonight he had 13 points three rebounds three assists he’s consistently starting to become more of an option on offense the Bulls can rely upon which has been huge while the Bulls

Are without two of their top scoring options in Zack LaVine Nicola vuich also Alex Caruso I mean his three-point shooting I feel is one of the biggest story lines being overlooked this season because everyone talks about his defense everyone talks about what an elite Defender He Is We we all know that but

Man is shooting 45% from three on the highest volume of his career on near Four attempts per game you you’re talking about for a guy who was always talked about not having much of an offensive game turning into a reliable and consistent 3 and D player has really

Taken his ability to the next level and the Bulls in turn seeing success from that he shot three for five from Deep tonight which was great oh also Terry Taylor shout out to Taylor man who has been stepping up and coming in to play the backup five despite being very

Undersized for that role at 64 65 mean for a guy who was effectively out of the rotation to come in and give the Bulls really good minutes in a position that he’s not used to playing gives the Bulls six points on three for three from the floor six rebounds and two assists all

In 17 minutes of play been really impressed by what we’ve seen from Taylor in giving the Bulls minutes at the five Off the Bench with vuvi being out and not having it be a situation where the Bulls are just getting hammered in the paint every time Andre Drummond comes

Out of the game he’s been stepping up holding his own and you have to love seeing it from a player who is not otherwise normally going to be getting quality minutes you know the Sixers really kept this one close throughout always stay connected with the bulls really up until the final four minutes

Or so but the Bulls never let the Sixers lead in this game except in the early going and always responded well every time the Sixers went on a little run said it before responding continuing to fight continuing to stay focused and with energy has been key for the Bulls

In this stretch and the Bulls are now 10 and five in their last 15 games still four games below 500 still 10th in the East but now just one game back behind the nets for 9th on to the new year now the Bulls have a few days off until

Their next game which will actually be against the Sixers yet again on Tuesday this time in Philly I’ll have some content out between now and then but in the meantime as always be sure to subscribe and I will see you in the next one
