Nice to see another win. Hoiberg is riding the vets with heavy minutes while McDermott gets 13 mins and 4 points. If this were last season people would be calling for his head. Great game by Gasol. He will be sorely missed next season I imagine. This team certainly has the talent to make some noise in the playoffs, if directed properly.
I still hope that he will possible return. If not he will be missed... I'm not calling for his head but it would be nice if he can find some minutes for McDermott. Hopefully McDermott would not lose his confidence.
35 assists on 39 made baskets...are you kidding me? Great stuff! I also thought the defensive help was soooo much better than it's been. The most aesthetically pleasing game I've seen the Bulls play this season.
I agree on both counts. I think it's easy to forget how good he is. I've always thought resigning Gasol is probably our best and highest probability for acquiring a high impact FA. With his next contract I think it's the years, not the dollar value that's important.
Butler sits with knee soreness while Bulls beat Bucks 100-90 Pau Gasol had 12 points, 17 rebounds, 13 assists and five blocked shots, and the banged-up Chicago Bulls beat the Milwaukee Bucks 100-90 on Monday night with All-Star Jimmy Butler sidelined.
