Ed Davis and Mason Plumlee played great tonight

Seriously people - WTF did you expect this season? Shockingly good some nights to down-right shitty others. Young, dumb, and full of.... I still think they put together a decent "body of work" but it'll come with a shit-ton of highs and lows.

If you expect differently, you're a fool.

That being said, some nights it will be so sweet and others it will cut like a knife.

 

Bulls had him completely blanketed. Never seen him miss clutch FTs or get turnovers in crunch time. They wore him out

 

One of the best losses a team like this can have. There's an awful lot a young team can learn from a game like tonight's and some important positives.

They had trouble shooting, they got a little intimidated by the Bulls' good defense, they suffered from a few calls, but they fought back, they played pretty good defense themselves and they took this game down to the wire despite the adversity.

And they lost, which is important from the standpoint of potential draft position and also from the standpoint that it can be motivation.

To be honest, this team is growing in some ways more quickly than expected. Not sure it will be enough to get out of the bottom 10 in the standings, but they're playing with more moxey than I expected from a bunch of guys with so little career minutes.

They can take quite a bit away from this. Good loss.

 

19 pts, 10 reb, 8 ast, 1 blk looks pretty good. Pity about his 18% FG%.

 

Ed Davis 11 points 13 rebounds 2 assist 3 steals 2 blocks

 

Beating both LA teams makes up for this close one..I actually respect the Bulls as a team. Plumlee had 17 frickin' boards tonight..the guy just keeps gettin' better

 

And only 2 turnovers though one was unfortunately in the last minute

 

We miss Meyers still.

 

Great post.

 

Exactly what I thought at the end...our frontcourt is really pretty good

 

Especially in a game like this where his spacing was needed.

 

he missed what would've been a go ahead 3; throughout the season, he has been bad in the 4th quarter; it's usually him shooting when we blew those big leads.

 

Seriously? No postgame Plumlee comments. Dude is on some kinda roll here. Way better than any C we have had in a while

 

We win that if we don't shoot like utter garabage. Bulls D was part of that reason but we missed a lot of just straight open looks.

 

It's a breath of fresh air not being upset about these losses. Games like this last year would have definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.

 

Bulls D was just too good for us.

A game like this is a good learning experience for a young team like us.

 

I think the blazers gave the bulls too much respect. You could see how they hesitated on almost every shot, even when they were open. Not uncommon for a young team.
