Do apply Pat man the newss that we’ve been expecting Billy Donovan has basically been setting the groundwork for this all week he’s been basically alluding to this Zack LaVine was recalled uh from the Wy City Bulls in the g-league and and Nicola vich have been upgraded to questionable for

Tomorrow’s game um we’re going to focus on Zack LaVine here we’ll talk about V in a second how do you feel about Zack LaVine finally making his return albe it a little bit early as well to the Chicago Bulls I mean listen it it’s it’s going to be interesting to see right

Like it’s going to be interesting to see kind of what they’re going to end up being able to do how are you going to utilize him on the court there’s a lot that’s been said about Zack LaVine there’s a lot that you got to look at as

A uh uh um with this team and listen there’s a large sample size and when I say a large sample size I’m not talking about right like how things are like oh just with the bull SC Zack line is literally the losingest player in the NBA like he literally has the worst win

Percentage in the NBA so you have to now the team right team was horrible for years he was on Minnesota there’s a bunch of things that go into that so it’s not just Zack LaVine being bad by himself he’s been a good player but you have to look at that situation and say

Okay when we’ve given you talent to go out there and win losses have still piled up heavily while you’re on the court you got to change that narrative about yourself this is an opportunity for you to start to do that this is an opportunity because teams around the

League GMS around the league have said they don’t view Zack LaVine as a number one option a number two option more of a number three we’ll see if Zack can start to change that narrative tonight versus uh Charlotte yeah I mean at the end of

The day I like I said I know there’s been a lot of maid and I think it’s been a over calculation out to the other side like the slander has gotten a little bit ridiculous yes Zack LaVine is a flawed player and I think people forget too him

V and dear were all shooting their career lows and true shooting percentage across the board in almost every facet hopefully Zack LaVine comes back and he’s more kind of back to what he has been normally and he can adapt his level of play because we run now the ninth

More most catch and shoots opportunities in the NBA what is Zack LaVine the best at catch and shoots so hopefully that that he can come back but you know the people that are saying things like Zack LaVine can’t help this oh my God they need to trade Zack there’s no way it’s

Like like don’t get me wrong is there is there could this end disastrously absolutely yeah but let’s not act like that’s the foregone conclusion that Zack LaVine can’t adapt this game to make it work here because theoretically his skill set fits what we’re doing he just

Has to be locked in and make the decision mentally to buy into what we’re doing and I think the biggest thing is right like when you when you look at Zack LaVine you’re trying to figure out okay are you going to buy in are you

Going to be a part of this team and just fit in with what’s happening here or do you have to be the guy that’s getting the shots up do you have to be the guy that that is uh forcing himself and his offense into the system you just said it

Perfectly to me right Zack LaVine would be coming back to a team that literally runs what he wants to run well that literally runs what accentuates his game well is he going to get in line with that because guess what there’s been a lot of Javon Carter wide open Corner

Threes that he’s missed there’s been a lot of IOD dumu wide open Corner threes that he’s missed Zack LaVine should be the guy that could come in here and say you know what I’m G just stand over here I’m still G to make my plays I’m still

Going to be able to attack but you know what if I’m over here where IO is in this situation I can knock that shot down on a consistent basis and that’s what my team needs me to do I don’t want him to come back in here and I guess it

Really comes down to has he bought into what Billy Donovan is selling or not because it seems like the rest of the team is bought into what Billy Donovan is selling for the most part there still flaws with what Billy Donovan is selling right his laugh is terrifying all of

Those things may be true is crazy I’m I’m upset that I retweeted it because so many people have retweeted it I keep seeing it I’m I’m very mute the Tweet bro just I gotta mute the tweet I gotta it’s too creepy bro that M he literally bro he

Seems like a dude that’ll give you a five and you give him a 20 and he’ll be like what was that you Scooby-Doo villain like I don’t know man uh but at the end of the day um it’s really about has Zack LaVine can Zack LaVine come

Back in and buy into what Billy Donovan is selling because like it or not what Billy Donovan is selling is led to wins yeah I mean listen and and we’ll see like at the end of the day and the thing that I like about this the most we

Talk about this a little bit in the vo topic as well is that move if Vu and Zack LaVine come back you’re then strengthening your bench because you’re moving Drummond and Alice Caruso back to your bench we talked about not having the depth at that point you now have a

Solid eight-man rotation of you’re starting five with IO Alice Caruso Andre Drummond coming off the bench that makes all the other minutes look a little bit better so no 100% dude like it it’s when you talk about the players that are that would be strengthened by this right

You’re moving AO dumu back onto the bench with Javon Carter uh um now Javon Carter doesn’t have to go out there and do cardio every week like that’s all we’re really getting out of him right but you’re moving i d sumu well I guess he’s better on the bench

But you’re moving him to more of a bench role he’s not coming in giving you those major minutes probably in that situation Andre Drummond like you said going back to the bench does that move Alex Karo because what would your starting lineup be at that point Kobe Zack

Dear yeah so I mean like and Patrick Williams right so you’re you’re pretty much saying all right Caruso you’re back on the bench uh uh um and we’re strengthening drum is back uh io’s now getting the benefit of playing with Caruso again you’re strengthening your team as a whole logically it makes sense

But it all comes down to is Zack LaVine going to buy because here’s the thing if Zack LaVine does Buy in and he does play well guess what Billy Donovan signed for 110 years we don’t know how long his extension is next year and we still don’t know how

Many years it is still have no idea uh Zack lavine’s contract is still good here right it’s not like all of a sudden he’s not getting paid by the Chicago Bulls like he still could be a Chicago Bull if he says you know what I like what what we’re building here let’s keep

Going with this like the buyin scenario is one of the better case scenarios for the Chicago Bulls but it takes Zack LaVine sacrificing being the guy for being a guy on the team that’s a that’s a great way to uh to word it I mean it comes down to is

Zach willing to make that sacrifice and like I’ve said before I think I said it over on Central Zack leine talks so much about wanting to win how important winning is to him the fact of the matter is Winners sacrifice now of course there’s different levels to it depending

On where your game is but if you truly want to win in the NBA you’re going to have to sacrifice and Zack LaVine has to realize this at least I hope that he does even if ultimately you still don’t want to stay with the Chicago Bulls any

Team that you go to you’re not being a number one so you have you should want to show those respective interests as teams I can sacrifice for the case of winning right no 100% dude like when when if winning really is the most important thing which Zack always says

He’s like I just want to go out there win it’s not about me being the number one it’s not about me taking the winning shot and I think that he has been somebody who’s kind of taken that backseat role throughout since dear has gotten here and I think that is to me

That has had a lot of people look at him in a negative light um but there’s something that’s working here that you literally everything he does well fits perfectly with what this Bulls team needs right now is he going to go out there and allow himself to just play

Within the rhythm of the game or or do we go back to I’ve got to force my shots I’ve got to get shots up I’ve got to be able to get downhill I’ve got to be able to get to the bucket I have to be the one taking each like that that’s the

That’s the part that to me about Zach’s game and dear’s game right you can’t have two guys that are doing it like dear dear’s gonna get a sh and he’s done that in this time where we’ve been winning dear’s been like hey I’m getting my shots up though yeah and I mean the

Thing is that it it depends on how you like and that’s what a good coaching is it’s not always what you do that’s a big part of it but it’s also how you do it Demar Rosen has changed he’s still doing some of his isolation stuff but it’s

When when it comes when the Bulls can’t get a bucket and that’s when you need it the most and so Zack LaVine is still going to have opportunities theoretically do that because this still going to be a team where we’re still going to have times where we don’t score

We’re going to have times and again Zack LaVine may be his time where he fits in the the role of the offense but get Zack LaVine some stin with that bench unit where then it’s like no we need you to be go out there and be that dog scorer

So there’s a balancing act that has to happen in it it has it comes via trusting that Zach is going to buy into it and Billy’s going to coach it well but if those two things do happen we could be in a much better position so

We’ll see what it ends up it could also be very ugly I just want to keep saying it could be very ugly no it could get horrible like like it it needs to be said that it can literally get terrible yes like the the you laid out the

Scenarios right like there this is the one good scenario that we’re talking about this is it the only scenario that that makes you feel like something’s going to go right is the scenar where Zack LaVine says I’m buying in let’s let Kobe keep cooking let’s let Demar keep

Doing what he’s doing and I’m going just fit in where I get in yeah otherwise somebody gonna put a toe in them man here you go um next up we’re gonna be talking about Nicola vich also uh possibly returning uh tonight for the game but before we get into that I want

This fits right in that timeline now it was a little bit concerned Wednesday morning because it seemed like Vu was really still experiencing some some soreness there but he did a workout Wednesday they said that he he responded really well to that was basically painful afterwards so he’s now been upd

Upgraded to crushable as well how do you feel about Nicola vich also possibly making his return to the Chicago Bulls today listen I think for all the trade voo people shut up uh sorry I’m sorry I did did that come off a little bit aggressive i a mean for it to come off

That aggressive uh what I meant to say was uh please shut up uh at the end of the day listen is Vu the perfect Center defensively is he a rim protector is he a guy that’s going to turn uh uh um three shots game away no but you know

What he is he’s an integral piece of a modernday offense he is a guy that facilitates the basketball well rebounds the basketball well gets other guys involved well continues like right when you see offensively off of the pick and roll he gives you options you want to know why because even though he’s

Shooting a low shooting percentage if he gets hot people still respect his shot so from the mid-range from the three-point line from that little baby hook shot that he does he gives Kobe white options options off of the game literally we saw Kobe White’s offensive

Game fall off a cliff after Vu wasn’t on the floor now that could also go into uh uh the wrist injury wasn’t able to shoot the three ball well but Kobe white was struggling to get to the rim Kobe white was struggling to finish at The Rim why

Because when you’re playing pick and roll with Andre Drummond he can only roll so as Kobe white drives guess what the large dudes coming down and bringing more defense down into the paint it’s common sense to have a center like B on your team and he

Is one of the top centers in the NBA and will finish the season again with double doubles and now you’re starting to see players develop with him on the court and you’re seeing the impact over the last few games with him not on the court guess what B might be a little bit

Important to this team or at least the style of Center that V is because you can’t do that with Andre Drummond especially when he’s picking up four fouls in the first half and you know who else you can’t do it with 64 Terry Taylor I like Terry Taylor but I’m he’s

6’4 Kobe white is literally taller than the backup center yeah that’s let’s stop playing that game let’s stop playing that game Tech Zack LaVine and Kobe white are are taller than than the backup center that we’ve had Zack LaVine Kobe white Patrick Williams Demar D rozan dalen Terry he’s

The shortest one on the court that’s crazy nobody else is 6’4 bro Alice kuso 66 he’s the shortest player on the team that’s why wow death of small ball please and can’t shoot the three ball like he’s 6’4 as a center and can’t shoot the he’s not Draymond Green

Draymond Green is six foot seven that’s deep uh but no like V coming back solves one of our biggest issues we just have a l lack of depth and size like it we just don’t it’s for three years in a row the one position that we can’t really weather a storm and

At at is is the center we just can’t like and so you know getting V some of that’s on Billy though some of that is on Billy yeah some of that’s on Billy some of it’s on I would say this the last two seasons was roster construction

Yes this year it’s on Bill and even no I would say even right like last year in the playoffs um just don’t take or play in I should just don’t take Drummond out of the Miami game probably when but but that wasn’t a lack of depth there that

That was just not playing the depth that you had well that’s what I’m saying like that’s what I mean some of it’s on Billy in that situation yeah for sure for sure for sure so you know at the end of the day Vu is integral like you said uh

Being able to pass and I know he’s not the most dangerous passer because I’ve heard Doug tonis for example but it’s like what he does is he does allow that spacing and he does allow for some of that and so it is a big part of it because listen drums drum’s good don’t

Get me wrong he’s good and he’s Elite at what he does well but the things that he doesn’t do well Lord have mercy you’re just not gonna get him at all Hey listen I keep saying this you know what niik lavich can do that almost nobody else on

That team can do uh make a layup yes I mean like you know when when Kobe white throws him that dime and you’re just like oh my God it’s a dime he he he makes it n he do be missing sometimes I’m not gonna act like he

Don’t but he don’t miss like drum drum and layups don’t go together drum miss four layups get his own rebound and then dunk it down that’s not that’s not the same V just make the first layup like you know that’s that’s really what I want to see

Uh but no I just I I think at the end of the day right what it comes down to especially going into this game versus uh Charlotte what we got to talk about if the Bulls can get a win and and and uh this back-to-back scenario two wins

Uh would be great here um is with their size how are you going to be able to take advantage of it Mark Williams big guy down there really can play well good good good uh body down in the post right uh I would rather have nikol lavich out

There creating a mismatch and keeping him out of the post versus Andre Drummond who guess where he’s gonna be on the offensive end down low why because he can’t go nowhere else that’s his game and it’s not to say that it’s not a game that I don’t like the thing

That I do like about drumming over voo is Kobe White’s going to the bucket I feel like players can take Dumber shots and I know that sounds crazy but like you could take the shots that you would be like this is a tough layup because you know drum is down there you probably

Can’t do that as much with voo that’s fair that’s fair that’s and the floaters too like you can you can yeah yeah like you’re literally taking a shot because it almost creates a a a mismatch for him because the center’s gonna say okay now I got to get this rebound which puts him

You know in a rebounding position and you’re not going to outrebound Andre Drummond on a night in Night Out basis so I think that that’s the one thing about it that maybe you lose a little bit of but you also like offensively the Bulls have lost in the post completely

Like as a post the Bulls haven’t had a post game since V has gone down like drums got a little bit of like the the little turnaround thing and if it’s going it’s going but like V actually can like okay let me hit you with this

Turnaround float let me hit you with the hook shot let me hit you with the the fade away uh let me hit you just straight up body you up and and go to the bucket make the lay like there’s more options with niik lavich and that’s

Why to me nikich is uh uh the best option that you could have at the center position right now yeah facts um and I agree with everything that you said and overall I just like that we can get back we’re still missing Tory Craig of course

But I like that we can get back more towards what a a full solid ninan rotation could be we still got holes in that rotation as well still got questions but I like that we’re able to get back to that and at a time where the schedule’s getting easier as well so

Good really two good uh tuneup games against the Charlotte Hornets for Vu and and Zack LaVine to kind of get back a little bit in Rhythm and we’ll see how they do yeah we’ll see what it ends up being man uh before we get into this final topic talking about how this Bulls

Could and and not even just this one win vers Charlotte we need back-to-back wins here starting off the year on the wrong side of this we do have to tell you guys about hungry roou uh sorry to our friends over in Australia uh if you’re trying to eat little healthier in 2024

Route get in on the root uh y’all wouldn’t laugh just Google root Australian slain just do that just and come back to us um that’s crazy so the Chicago buvs face man and one of the things that is funny right because of the the crazy historic losing street that the Detroit

Pistons was on people completely overlooked that the Charlotte Hornets were on a 12 game losing Street they just snapped they did win their last game uh but the Bulls face off against the Hornets in their next two games uh you got Gordon Haywood’s out Mark Williams is out uh you Lonzo ball has

Been out um Lonzo ball I’m sorry lamelo ball Lonzo ball Lonzo ball also out lamelo ball also I mean I didn’t say a false statement you were correct in both statements yeah but but how confident are you considering that we’ve seen the Bulls come up against teams that theoretically

Had some major pieces injured before how how confident are you the Bulls can get a win I’m I’m actually pretty confident I mean listen like the the Bulls have it feels like the Bulls have set a standard right and and we’ve rarely played below that standard I mean like the the Philly

Game is the one outlier where it just felt like yep we got nothing for that and we kind of knew we had nothing for that going in it was like Joe Ellen beats back we just beat Philly they’re not going to let us lose or win back-to-back games this is probably

Gonna be ugly we didn’t think it was going to be that ugly but we knew it was goingon to be ugly um but outside of that game right we’ve talked about every single game that bulls have played for the most part them being a really competitive team versus the best of the

Best and handling business versus the teams that they were supposed to handle business for uh this is a team that the Bulls should be able to handle business against it’s it’s a Charlotte team that I mean I’m gonna be honest with you it’s tough because Carolina’s having

A tough time with Chicago right now what are they good at it’s not me it’s not me trying to be slanderous bro it’s just just honest bro like what what is they’re not a good three-point shooting team they’re okay down low Mark Williams is all right um they’re not a good

Mid-range shooting team they’re poor def nothing but the hits I don’t know what to tell you they’re poor defensively bro yeah I me all of a sudden miles Bridges can’t hit anything uh like just like what are they good at bro like we should really we should really now watch the Bulls

Lose by 20 but like they shouldn’t and and all I can evaluate on is is what we should be have going up against them for the next two days like they beat the Kings and that just felt wrong yeah and it literally took everybody getting hot like Terry roier

End up putting up 34 I think Bridges went off for 27 and that one like uh um um uh PJ Washington ended up having a nice game that like it it takes everything working perfectly for the Hornets for the Hornets to find a way to beat a team um they’re not a good

Basketball team bro yeah they’re not they’re bottom of the league of Defense bottom of the league in offense um towards the bottom of rebounding they’re the fourth worst rebounding team in the league like you said what do they do good I don’t know I they I’m not gonna lie bro we can we

Can get rid of the Hornets I’m not attached to that Team bro like you know like like at first it was like the Hornets are back this is cool we can get rid of the Hornets bro we don’t need them we could have we could have kept

The Bobcats yeah we the Bobcats felt wrong too just moveing to Seattle bro just bring the Super Sonics back even though Seattle’s struggling to keep teams at the same time I don’t know struggling move move Charlotte move Charlotte to Vegas let that be Brian team and then he Brian goon fire

Everybody Bri Brun com could you imagine Braun owning the Hornets which Jordan used to own that’s just starting it all over Hey listen and immediately cutting everyone he’d probably only keep lamelo and Mark Williams like why is Scary Terry on this day because they have they have to have

A point he’s the only point guard that can stay healthy you want to know what’s hilarious about the Hornets right now and this is going to be bad this sounds bad but it’s just true like the Hornets have a bunch of players on their team that you didn’t know were still in the

League did you know ish Smith plays for the Hornets I did yeah Cody Martin plays for the Hornets yeah I mean like you just you just kind of yeah I mean like you just kind of start going through JT Thor Hornets yeah I knew that I mean yeah I mean you start

Going through some of the names on that team you’re just like H I forgot that dude was in the league Gordon Hayward Hornets we know he’s because he we knew he was on the Hornets like dude I Gordon Hayward feels weird at this point like I

Saw him on a podcast the other day I’m why you feeling Gordon her no it just it feels weird because like it don’t like it doesn’t seem like like his career ever started when he came when he left the Celtics like and he’s put up some good

Season and he’s put up Good Seasons yeah he just can’t stay healthy when he’s he when he’s playing he actually’s been pretty solid for them but yeah yeah Michael paid him a lot of money for no reason that man hasn’t played over 60 games since

2019 Gordon Hayward is a it’s a it’s a odd career for him man finishing out his career in Charlotte I don’t know bro that’s that’s sad watch going to go to a team and be like their eighth man Off the Bench and somehow have like a great playoff series

And they’re going to win the finals it’s going to happen me he’s got to transition his career like he he if he became like just a three-point spark Off the Bench I would love to have Gordon Hayward on the team but I don’t want the Gordon Hayward that like is still trying

To go out there and be you know the a cook show like no I don’t I don’t need that bro I don’t need the one that was in Utah I don’t need the one that went to uh to to Boston at first right I don’t need that guy I’m okay I don’t

Know I don’t know how we got into Gordon Hayward talk but it is what it is hey at the end of the day uh Bulls should win by a 100 just because you said that now we’re going to get her ass kicked thank you probably bro probably but it is what it

Is I mean listen what you should do and what you lose this game against the Hornet do you know how many people no matter what Zack LaVine does Zack LaVine oh my God bro they got to win they gotta win bro the Hornets lost to the I

Thought so I was trying to find the game the Hornets lost to the Sixers 135 to 82 that’s crazy like nah bro nah we should not lose this game bro they’re dog water uh follow us on everything at lock on bulls you can follow me everything at Pan the
