had a good game last go around, but this Bulls bench is horrible. Had no idea McDermott meant that much to our reserves.....Just gotta get through the first half of the season....

We need more production from that PG position.....On both sides of the ball we r struggling there.....

their problem is their bench is shit, because their 2 best bench players are out with injuries. the domino effect of which is a bum like isaiah canaan becoming a key cog.

16. "Bulls have still played poorly in the 1Q lately." In response to Reply # 13
Those poor starts are compounded by our bad bench which can put games out of reach by the half. So I agree that the bench needs to be addressed. But there's something else. I've hated how we switch on defense. Opposing teams game plan for the Bulls? Keep passing. Somebody will make a mistake on an assignment and be open.

it's almost comical at this point how much canaan is playing. i think he's played 24+ minutes in 10 of the last 12 games. and critical 4th qtr minutes too. lol. dude is trash. well, he's trash @ 25 mpg. in a JL3/nate/AB role, he'd be fine, but hoiberg (by necessity with the McD/MCW injuries) is putting way too much on his plate.
those 2 can't get back soon enough.

but it's for different reasons. Like...I feel like Brooks might be a good dude. Seems nice enough. Fisher is obviously a shitty coach...but also a trash ass human.

Maybe he will get there in time, but right now he's fine occupying that space between Towns and Wiggins, opportunistic scoring and occasional highlight. He doesn't get to the line and his decision-making is still suspect. Also he's kind of a frontrunner, he gonna score when his team is up 10 or down 10, but when it's close he usually tightens up. And he's the worst defender out of the three.
20. "Also you could argue that LaVine being in the starting line-up" In response to Reply # 17
kinda fucks over Wiggins, cause he's forced to guard small forwards, which is not optimal (he's still too skinny). People are clamoring for Thibs to make Zach the sixth man to shore up the bench scoring, but that's a non-starter.
29. "You can't bench Dieng" In response to Reply # 27
Dirty little secret in Minny is that KAT has been ass on defense in his sophomore season. Rubio wasn't up to par either till recently. You take out Gorgui and you'll have three minus defenders on the floor at the same time in Bjellica, Towns and LaVine. Also you will marginalize Aldrich, who has been their best defensive big.
26. "Btw, I'm officially with Ba: on the LaVine vs Wiggins thing. " In response to Reply # 0
LaVine might not have Russy intensity, but he has that athleticism, is actually longer, and has a better natural jumper
Dude has no real flaws. And because Mitchell forced him to play point in an an old ass kicker way, he's developed as a patient player, rather than a run and gunner.
