Bulls Make it 3 Wins in a row in Nail-Biting W over Rockets

Bulls Make it 3 Wins in a row in Nail-Biting W over Rockets

I swear this team takes years off of my life man I don’t know why we do this to ourselves sometimes but I just can’t get enough I really did think that this game was over though I really thought the Bulls blew it after going scoreless in the final four minutes of Regulation a

Repeat of the other night by the way against the Hornets where they went scoreless in the final 3 minutes common theme for that occurrence which I’ll get into they go scoreless in the final four minutes they blew a 16-point lead when you thought okay they’re going to put

These guys away get the win and call it a night to then the game going into overtime almost a game winner for the rockets and regulation to then the Bulls going down five in OT with 2 minutes remaining and it really looked all but over I mean the Bulls were truly falling

Apart at that point they couldn’t hit their shots they were turning the ball over shenon was looking like Dirk nitzki out there with those one-legged fadeaway jumpers it was over I was full on preparing for an epic rant video but somehow in those final two minutes the Bulls turned things around and wouldn’t

You know it by actually trying something new you know going to guys that were actually feeling it in this game moving the ball quickly getting downhill trying trying to throw off the defense without allowing them to get set shocker right maybe not going ISO on every play down

The stretch with the guy who was 5 for 19 from the floor was maybe the way to go and yet again the Bulls executed when they needed to and closed out a game against a young feisty Rockets team now here’s the thing aside from those last few minutes in the fourth quarter this

Was actually a great game for the Bulls and it’s unfortunate because it’s likely going to be minimized by the fact that they collapsed and nearly blew this game like really this was a very complete game for the Chicago Bulls a balanced scoring night all starters and double

Figures they had a season High 19 threes as a team they shot 40% on 47 threes attempted also a season High very rare for the Bulls to get up that many shots or I should say three-point shots and not just getting shots up but getting good looks by moving the ball around and

Finding the open man they play with great energy Pace great effort on defense great passing 31 assists on the night up until the fourth quarter they took care of the ball really well only had six turnovers going in in the fourth quarter like it was a very good and

Complete game for the Bulls not saying it was the best game of their season but a solid game against a young Scrappy Rockets team yes the Rockets were without Dylan Brooks and they have struggled to string together wins without him but this is a much better

Rockets team than we have seen in years past that have way more youth than the Bulls do and like I said it’s unfortunate because most will probably forget that this was a great game for the Bulls that they played throughout this one because of how they collapsed in the fourth quarter Zack LaVine

Tonight this was his most complete game the season hands down yeah he’s had some more Stellar scoring nights a lot of people like to go back to that Pistons game where he scored 51 points but people forget that the Bulls lost that game to the Pistons and Zach scored a

Bunch but played zero defense in that one had zero assists this game this is the type of game that I want to see from Zach because not only was he improving the game on offense in multiple ways outside of just scoring not only did he have two big clutch shots in overtime

That sealed it for the Bulls not only did he have 25 points on efficient shooting 13 rebounds seven assist but Zach also was very active on defense not in just playing on theb ball defense but much more aware and focused in playing off ball defense which has always been

Zach’s biggest weakness Stacy King tonight said there were five Zack Lavin out there that’s the first time we have ever heard him say that about Zack LaVine and Zach’s Seven Seasons with the franchise that tells you all you need to know about how Zach was hustling out

There on both ends of the floor three Steals and a block for Zack LaVine I mean look Zach saved this game for the Bulls in a game that would have otherwise been one that through away that am one that he got when the Bulls were down five in overtime and then came

Back down on the ensuing possession and hit a three to put the Bulls ahead by one that saved the game for the Bulls because even just the N1 itself after the bulls look completely defeated going down five in OT that completely shifted the momentum and enabled the Bulls to

Get themselves out of their end of game Funk and win the game like we’ve all been going hard on Zack LaVine this year you know he’s not a winning player he’s the reason the Bulls were so bad to start the season he wants out he’s quit

On this team he wants to be traded he won the Bulls of this game not only just with his execution down the stretch but also with how he carried himself throughout the game and getting guys involved on offense and with his effort on defense still had some bad turnovers

Four in total but I’m not going to fault Zach for that one because he otherwise had a great game and then of course how about Kobe white this is what I could not understand on why the Bulls just stopped going to Kobe down the stretch especially in the final four minutes

Kobe hits the dagger three with less than a minute to go in overtime dude was shooting lights out 30 points a 9 for 17 shooting 6 for 11 from three to go along with eight assist both him and Zack LaVine were A+ 15 in this game by

Comparison dear was a minus 9 Kobe was absolutely feeling it in this one and in these instances where the shots aren’t falling for demard de Rosen the offense is getting a little stale slow and Demar keeps missing these longrange jumpers maybe switch it up and go with something

Else like a Kobe white who is hitting a lot of shots now dear here’s the thing I often give dear a pass because he’s been so good for the Bulls overall and as frustrating as his game is sometimes the Bulls wouldn’t be in a lot of games if

It wasn’t for him but these past two games and especially this one tonight dear’s got to be smarter when he keeps bricking shots it’s oneandone possessions the other team is taking advantage and getting back into the game he has to start deferring and luckily

That was the case by the time we got to overtime but the last two games dear nearly cost the Bulls two bad losses set up a plate keep the ball moving do what works if the shots are falling it’s a different story but when you miss back-to-back shots on poor shot

Selection it’s time to change it up and I also blame part of this on Billy Donovan I mean it’s on the coach to get these guys in the Huddle and tell Demar these aren’t the shots we want to take in these moments Kobe is feeling it Zach

Is having a good game try and create plays for them that’s what’s also frustrating is because dear is actually a good on ball Creator he’s a good passer it’s not like he’s a one-dimensional player who can only score in isolation and the fact that Billy Donan has now allowed this to

Happen in the last two games where the Bulls went scoreless without a field goal in the final minutes of regul and something wasn’t corrected is a bit concerning to me self-awareness on the part ofar and coaching and managing these situations and player egos is important here yes dear is used to

Getting those shots those are his plays down the stretch go with your veteran the closer but if he’s struggling to get those shots down you make it clear to him to stop doing the same thing over and over anyway it was just maddening to me to see that happen in real time

You’re talking two games that could have easily ended in losses on dear’s Watch and the conversation of who should be traded being very different based on those games turning into losses rather than wins but anyway enough about that vuvi also had a solid game kind of got outworked by shenon especially in the

Fourth quarter but he did finish the game with 18 points 15 rebounds and no turnovers as well and was a plus 16 went on the court over for five from three and he still has struggled to finish at The Rim from time to time but also how

About Shen gum though man what a beast that kid is going to be loved what I saw from him last year and he’s gotten even better this season dude is only going to continue to get better and better and looking like a very solid foundational piece for the Rockets going forward

Anyway though a win is a win an almost blown win but it’s a win and make that three wins in a row the Bulls are suddenly only three games behind 500 they’re slowly but surely trying to make their way back up into the standings a chance to make it four straight against

A very struggling Warriors team who just got obliterated by the Pelicans by near 40 points Ring of Honor ceremony for that game as well by the way should be fun anyway let me know what you guys thought of this game as always be sure to subscribe and I will see you in the
