nice move by Thibodeau to limit Wiggins minutes and give a bench player who has clearly earned more minutes... more minutes. gratz to Chicago. Dunn is improving before our eyes. Wiggins Bad Shooting Wiggins is now shooting at 43%, with 29% from 3, and Free Throws at 63%. Jump shots from any where on the floor are under 30%. He was always an inefficient scorer, but this is nuts. If he keeps this up i think he'll start losing 4th quarter minutes in any game Minnie is trailing ( like what happened tonight). how anybody can call this guy an above average player... i'll never know. | ||

Perhaps in tribute to Bryant, Durant and Thompson never stopped shooting even when they weren't making many. The duo combined to miss 31 of its first 40 shots | ||

https://streamable.com/0a7gu the boston commentator guy predicted the final play by Rozier. good call. i love the celtics commentators. NBA.com weekly rankings and updates http://www.nba.com/powerrankings#/ The East is now 99-92 or .518 against the West... and here come the Bulls! The Bulls 6 game winning streak has been against only 1 borderline lousy team... the other 5 are decent or better teams. Before the streak started the Bulls lost by 1 to Denver, by 1 to Sacramento, and by 2 to Indiana. So I guess people watching the Bulls closely are prolly not that shocked that by adding 1 decent player they`ve gone from a series of close losses to a series of close wins. I think the Bulls will get worse if they play Zach Lavine 28+ minutes a game. | ||

Bjelca being in for Lavine and them going .500 was due to that one variable changing? Be detailed. | ||

#2. Bjelica never "replaced" Lavine. #3. The entire Minnesota team operated at its best when Lavine was not on the roster and Bjelica was on the roster. so , my projection is that the Chicago Bulls get worse if they play Lavine a lot this year.

However, all you've presented is polemics. do you have a better method for determining the effectiveness of a player on defense? if you do. post it. maybe we can all learn something about player evaluation. | ||

you haven't really agreed or offered any opinion on Lavine so i'll just leave it at that.
