Every team is on equal grounds now. None of that regular season stuff matters. Guys need to rest up and get their mind straight.

Vuc's offense been a disappointment all season. Without a consistent jumper against Milwaukee, it's really going to be hard for him to be on the floor.

I really want to see if Billy Donovan chucks him in the bushes and has a quick leash if he's not scoring.

As I told my brother who is a bulls fan. After getting your ass drug by lebron for over a decade (in cleveland and miami). Now you get to have Giannis drag your ass for the next decade.

Better hope the pistons don't get a generational star or else the bulls will be getting they ass drug by the pistons for all of the 2030s.

The bulls should match up well the bucks. I don’t understand why they keep getting blown out

Depends on which side of the spectrum Patrick Williams lands on... He could be on a Jaylen Brown/Kawhi type of trajectory or a Marvin Williams/Jeff Green one.

Milwaukee is a horrible matchup for Chicago.

We had to grab Tristan in the buy-out market because our bigs suck. Every single front court player in Milwaukee's rotation can go for 20+ against Vuc.

Plus Donovan prefers playing lineups with 3 and 4 guards in them.
:skip:

If he does that in this series, the Bucks should crush Chicago in the rebounding category

Y’all could play brook Lopez out of the rotation by simply allowing to Vuc to Jack up 8-10 3s. That’s really his game, pick and pop.


You drafted Pat Williams specifically for this series. Derozan and or Lavine should be able to at least play even with Middleton and Holiday. I would even give Derozan the edge in that Middleton match up.

The problem is the bench, Donovan has to find at least 2 or 3 guys he can trust. I would go Derrick Jones, Ayo and play small ball.

Vuc has lost his 3 this year. He shooting like 33% so no ya little plan aint gon work

Zach is playing hurt so he has fallen off this year
Jrue be killin us......Caruso has been mid since returning and Ayo been hit the rookie wall and Jrue be bustin his ass:dame:

PW was drafted for this type series but he a 2nd year dude with no playoff exp that basically mussed the whole year. Expecting him to hang with Giannis is a tall order

We'll have to wait and see if Billy Donovan uses different lineups and rotations in this series. I watched all season and he hasn't really shown the ability to adjust lineups accordingly.

The issue with Vuc taking a ton of 3s is that he hasn't been making them breh. He's shot plenty of them and he's been inconsistent. So that strategy only works if he's making shots.
When he's missing shots, it's a shyt show because he's awful defensively. There's no one to hide him on either.

Lopez, Portis, Giannis...even Ibaka will all be able to score on him easily. Milwaukee could put Giannis at the 5 and Vuc is useless.

We don't have Spo coaching this roster breh

Them percentages don’t matter in the playoffs. Vuc is a pick and pop guy. They have to at least respect him out there and it’s about the attempts, not the makes. Derozan is one of the best mid range shooters of all time, if he can keep his man stuck to Vuc on the screen, he should be able to eat. If Pat Williams ain’t ready to play, y’all should have traded his ass.
