What's new

Jazz at Bulls 7:00 CST

Onto Orlando. Don’t sleep on them. They made the playoffs last year and have been playing better.
 
Lavine is so erratic in his shot selection, I don't see how you can plan an offense around him.

In all fairness he has nothing to work with. Lauri is this generation's version of Andrea Bargnani. White and Dunn can't shoot to save their lives. Carter is a bull dog but he's extremely limited. Sato is decent but he's not a volume guy. Their bench is worse than Utah's BEFORE they picked up Clarkson.

Lavine has to break out in order for Chicago to have a chance.
 
LaVine reminds me a lot of Westbrook. Both super athletic and erratic. Can get hot at times but generally take a ton of shots and score a ton of points on bad efficiency. Both not the best shooters but can score. You can’t and won’t win with that type of player as your best player.
 
This team is unlike the Ricky teams in that I felt there was little room for error with them in that when Ricky struggled offensively we seemed to struggle. And we didn’t have offensive weapons around him and Mitchell to pick up the slack.

This doesn’t feel like that team. Bogey already fits in so damn seamlessly. Clarkson for the most part too. And I guess this team simply feels really, really good at managing games. That’s a very underrated skill in sports. Qb’s who can just manage games can actually win Super Bowls for God’s sake. And this type of manage is different because it’s a different sport but we seem to have very good situational iq’s and know how to manage these situations and how to execute late in games very well and it doesn’t feel so nerve wracking because of limited offensive options either. We feel, complete, I guess I’d say.

Yep. Great post. We relied heavily on Mitchell to score in the past but look at tonight Bogey took over. Feels so good to have multiple guys who can do that. I bet there will be a game or two where Clarkson does that as well.
