Ayo Dosunmu Has Career Night in Bulls Blow Out Win



Ayo Dosunmu Has Career Night in Bulls Blow Out Win

I don’t know about you guys but I’m always a little nervous going into these types of games where the Bulls are playing one of the worst teams in the league because we’ve seen it time and time again the Bulls playing down to their competition throughout this season

They’ve lost to Detroit twice they had close calls against the Spurs Hornets Blazers so naturally when I see a team like the Wizards come to town for the first time they’re going through their own injuries with a lot of people out of the lineup themselves guys that are

Playing on two-way deals in this game and I’m thinking the Bulls better not blow this one not another easy gimme game where they falter but fortunately the Bulls made it easy on all of us tonight they took control of the game early and never looked back in maintaining a double digit lead

Throughout the game really holding on to a 20-point lead throughout this one and off of a big night from Chicago Zone IOD dumu who continues to show that development and maturation Bulls fans have been dying to see a guy they were able to retain at $6 million a year put

Up a career-high $ 34 points in this game going 14 for 22 from the floor 4 for seven from three he was doing what he does best in getting quickly downhill finishing at The Rim his finishing at The Rim has become Next Level this season like he’s always had a quick

First step in getting the basket in transition but now he’s been able to finish with ease even in the face of contact or with two Defenders trailing him something we were not seeing last season but not only that and Billy Donovan had talked about this before but

Needing to see him step up as a playmaker and facilitator in creating offense for others with Kobe white being out of the lineup you’ve seen his assist numbers go up even before Kobe went down but tonight nine assists to lead the team in addition to 34 points and don’t

Forget about his defense as well of course I was slowly but surely turning into a legitimate 2-a player and has been having an incredible run post Allstar break I’ve said this before but who is going to step up while the Bulls are short-handed especially with no Kobe

White in the lineup for the next few games and that has been IOD dumu he’s shown out incredibly well as of late speaking of Kobe white by the way you know initially when he was diagnosed with that mild hip injury it was thought he could back as soon as tonight but

Billy Donovan did say pregame it’s more likely that he’ll be back by the end of next week so potentially Wednesday against the Rockets or Friday versus the Celtics I’m actually okay with this I mean clearly they didn’t need him tonight the Bulls are taking on the Blazers on Monday another team that has

Already been eliminated from playoff contention no use in bringing him back early for some of these easier games or supposed to be easier games anyway might as well rest him while you can’t speaking of resting though and this is a bit of a tangent and then I’ll get back

To the things I like seeing in this game the only thing that bothered in this one tonight was Billy Donovan’s decision to leave his main guys in the game for so long when it was clearly Out Of Reach for the Wizards Midway through the fourth quarter I know the Wizards had a

Slight run when they brought it within 16 points with like six minutes to go and Billy Donovan brought Demar and vich back into the game but like come on now this was a g-league Wizards team out there they had already cleared out their bench mind you yeah they knocked down a

Couple of Threes to bring within 16 points but those two-way guys were never going to be coming back into this game the starters should have been out the entire for fourth quarter period sure maybe you can leave in aumu in there because he’s younger you give him some

More reps and opportunities he was going after the career high anyway but seeing dear vuvi and Alex Caruso in the game that late when it was Out Of Reach was very questionable to say the least and to make it worse you saw Alex Caruso get

Hurt at the end of the game where he shouldn’t have been in the late stages of that contest if there’s anything we know about Alex kuso he’s going to go hard the whole game and give 100% effort no matter the score he doesn’t care and on the final possession before Donovan

Finally cleared the bench you saw Caruso grimacing and limping off the floor now hopefully it’s something serious and he’ll be all right nothing has been reported on it at least at the time of this recording anyway but it just made absolutely no sense that the main guys

Were out there that late into the game the guys on the broadcasts were surprised by it the beat writers were tweeting about it in real time they were surprised by it that was a very tiban move of Billy Donovan and it did not sit well with me but anyway the other big

Things for me tonight was vuich Nikola vuich got to eat tonight with the Wizards not having much size after The Gafford trade he got busy early in this one and had 16 points in the first quarter alone ended up finishing the game with 29 Points in total 13 rebounds

And two assists 11 for 19 from the floor we even got to see vuvi uh get a little fiery in this one when he gave what’s his name Omari the twoo small I nearly died when that happened him and Omar roui were uh getting into it when

Apparently he called v a V didn’t take too kindly to that and got him back with an N one on the following possession anyway that whole thing made me laugh and then Caruso another big game for him offensively 16 points 7 for 12 from the field stays hot from Deep

Two for four five rebounds five assists two Steals and a block what is there that this guy can’t do at this point what I also love seeing from this game was that demard de rosan didn’t really have to do much really in getting the offense going he deferred to the young

Guys wasn’t searching for shots wasn’t forcing shots wasn’t looking to Pat his scoring numbers he saw what the guys were doing out there and went to them he only took seven Shots tonight finished with 13 points four rebounds six assists also two Steals and two blocks and still

Managed to finish the night with a plus 16 played 35 minutes would have been nice to see that below 30 in a game like this but doesn’t really seem to impact Demar regardless that much this was the Bulls largest margin of victory for the season at 29 Points they really needed a

Get Right game 33 assists tonight which I feel like is close to a season High the Bulls assist numbers have been going up quite a bit in the second half of the season when they started out as one of the worst passing teams in the NBA they

Outrebounded the Wizards 51 to 32 they didn’t shoot the three ball very much tonight and actually got beat by 15 points from behind the arc but the Bulls weren’t really focused on the long ball in this one they stayed inside and shot 57% from the field overall 68 points in

The paint to the Wizards 46 so yes a good game I’m not going to get overly excited about a game like this because again it is the Wizards and a short-handed Wizards team at that like this is a game you expect them to dominate I’m just glad they actually did

That instead of messing around and making this a close game Bulls have an opportunity by the way to get back to 500 their next two games are against the Blazers and Rockets although the Rockets have been playing much better recently they’re currently on a five-game winning

Streak but still a team below 500 a team the Bulls should be able to be and hopefully finally get back to 500 until they play the Celtics anyway let me know what you guys thought of the game let me know in the comments as always be sure

  1. Billy Donovan has to be the most incompetent coach when it comes to knowing when to rest your players. We shoulda seen more Adama and Funk! And some Henri if he played.

  2. As a Thunder fan, I remember when we were up big on the Pistons and Billy Donovan didn’t take out Andre Roberson. His ignorance was a factor in Roberson’s NBA career ending the way it did. 😢

  3. Dude, I just looked up Terry Taylor, and he's listed at 6'4". He's also listed as a power forward/center. What on God's green earth is wrong with Billy Donovan?

    🤔🤔🤔

  4. You guys in a much better position than you were at the start of the season. Almost 50% without your highest paid player. Kinda no reasons to cry.

  5. With AC having watched the replay it looks like he might have taken a shot to the balls and when down. So he'll be fine after he walks it off. Hopefully.

  6. What really bugs me about billy keeping the main squad in longer than they should have been, is that the bulls starters are leading the league in minutes played. Billy should be looking for any reason to rest these guys

  7. Ayo is quick! And he finishes well at the rim. Good job by the front office for picking him, and resigning him to a team friendly contract
