No reason not to give each dunce a technical.

The other subtle change is moving Butler to the 3. Doesn't have to handle the ball as much and his skill set is more geared to the 3 spot.

Somebody from the bench has to have a big year. If they don't, I can see quite a few games slipping away from them whenever the second unit has to log minutes.

i think it will take time to figure out whats the best formula. but one thing seems certain already- butler, rhondo, and wade all like eachother, and the whole team is full of hard workers. i could see this team simply wearing down many others... and they dont need a big fat bald guy yelling RED at them every second

Completely agree. Mirotic, McDermott, Felicio and Portis are terrible defenders. They won't be able to hold many leads.

I didn't think that a Hoiberg team would be even remotely predicated on worrying about defense, so you're surely right but the names in the list are irrelevant.

Their 2nd unit can't get outplayed every game though. I think there is a good possibility that it will.

I know....good flow, teamwork. Gonna take some getting used to! Not last 2 year's team at all.

He's a rare talent....if properly used.

MCW already had more positive moments than Snell had the last 2 years

The Bulls are doing quite a bit off the bounce. It looks like it is something that they are emphasizing. A lot of driving and kicking.

What do you guys think of MCW and Rondo out there together?

Don't like it.

I'm willing to experiment with it, but not if MCW is the primary ball handler.

I don't like it either.

Not enough shooting with that hookup. Wouldn't try it in crunch time.

I'm trying to come up with a scenario where Mirotic is not out there in the last few minutes.

Me too.

How crazy is is that he made 7 threes all last regular season and has 4 tonight.

How about Marv Albert lecturing someone on what is and isn't proper?

BITE!
