    They will start out better on D and on the offensive glass with Tristan out there, but their bench will definitely suffer. They will still have to play small in some moments and the Bulls have to take advantage.

    Really hate the NBA's schedule at times. Grizzlies/Warriors game 2 was last night, game 3 isn't until Saturday. Cavs/Bulls and Clippers/Rockets play 2 games before that series plays their next one lol.

    Ughh i need to know if Chris Paul is playing tonight, if hes not im gonna start Rivers and Crawford on the cheap in my DK line up.

    Feel like they go last minute with these decisions. Wall was a go last night up until like 10 mins before the game and Conley was questionable up until real close to game time as well.

    Chris Paul isn't playing tonight. Probably a good decision to rest him again since the Clips already took game 1 on the road

    I agree with you, I think it did both teams well in the trade. Rudy used to be a bigger powerhouse but his time on the Raptors wasn't necessarily so well spent. He makes a much better fit on the Kings who didn't have as much guard and forward power as the Raptors already did.

    Bulls just couldn't match the Cavs offensively. Yeah Lebron had a good game, but that's expected. If Shump, Dellevdova, and James Jones combine for 41, your'e in trouble. Hopefully we see more Mirotic on Friday. They were struggling to score, why not put him in to create mismatches and more scoring chances? Noah is clearly still hurt, so Thibs needs to cut his minutes down some and give them to Taj & Niko.

    I don't understand why he is playing his starters as many minutes as possible when their bench is so good. Rose can't be chucking up 20 shots either. Thibs is probably gone after this year. Like you said, I think playing Mirotic more is a great idea.

    It's been an issue with Thibs for awhile here. He always plays his stars heavy minutes. Brooks, Snell, and especially Mirotic all need to play more. It's obvious to everyone in Chicago that throughout the game the frontcourt parings should be Niko & Noah, or Gibson & Pau. That gives us the best balance of offense and defense. As far as Rose, he was hitting them Monday, so it's hard to be too critical. His mid range jumper & floater used to be automatic, so I believe they will both become consistent again eventually. The real issue is Joakim. He has had a hard time adjusting playing alongside Pau. Noah is used to playing centerfield on D and patroling the paint. But because Gasol has such limited side to side mobility, Jo is forced to check PFs every night who are much more active, instead of anchoring the defense from the paint. He's still clearly not recovered from his off season surgery either.

    IMO Game 3 in Chicago is a must win for my Bulls.

    Bad news for Wizards fans, John Wall has 5 non-displaced fractures in his wrist/hand. Nothing worse than your star getting hurt and crushing title hopes.

    For some reason I feel like he will come back and try to tough it out.

    Having some friends over for the games tonight. Two great games! I think the Cavs and Clips each win their games at home.
