Wow the Bulls suck. Like for real. Donovan needs to go, he's just not a good NBA coach. He was just fortunate enough to coach KD for a year or two and KD definitely raises the stock of any coach he plays for. Donovan ain't done shyt since KD left the OKC.
Bulls have no energy, no motivation, that's an easy 1st round exit team. In fact I won't be surprised if they fall to play-in stage like 7th seed is very realistic.
BD is super mid, he has always relied on iso players whether it be KD or CP3. He is the personification of aint coachin shyt....
Blaming the coach
Zach has proven he is not a #1
Zero reason for him not to be the top SG. The injuries as a whole have hurt the team
No shyt....no one claims Zach is a #1, he is an obvious #2. Great scorer but not terribly wellrounded or a guy who is gonna put team on his back for extended periods of time. No one has ever claimed he is THE GUY.
And coaching matters. Spo was winning games with just old ass Lowry and 12th men and G Leaguers when butler and bam were out. Donovan has no offense, no adjustments in game and his rotations are fukkin trash. He gets outcoached regularly. Talentwise we have as much as a lot of teams but when it comes to xs and os we are lacking big time. Not to mention he insists on playing small....we have had a 6'4 bench energy guy as our starting PF all year
3rd issue is we lost our two best defenders for a long tim. Zo and Caruso defense is how we were able to get easy points in transition instead of just DeMar/Zach my turn, your turn
When your 3 best players are bad at defense, you aint goin far. DeMar is below average, Vuc is below average, Zach is mediocre(when he feels engaged)....Zo n Caruso covered up for a lot of that
With a better coach, more defensive center....team would be WAY better
