    His defense is so overrated. How many times did Danilo "Returning From Injury" Gallinari blow right past him for an easy lay-up? And 95% of his rebounds are uncontested - RPG be damned, he's not even a quarter the rebounder that Ed or Nurk are.

    Middle of the pack teams like Portland are not good enough for fans to go into any game thinking it should be a blowout.
    Last night should've shown you that.
    This is one of those things where HCP is right. Expectations for fanbases are generally off the mark.

    Portland should still win, but it will be a game.

    The original comment was to give him up in trade for Mirotic. So we probably wouldn't have much say on what position he plays?

    Aminu has made 6 of his last 15 threes. That's a consistent 40%.

    The timing of Meyers Leonard’s “injury” is too suspicious for me. Has the team even practiced between last night and today? Where did he get injured? Sitting on the plane?

    He gone. Meyers and a protected first in 2021 (that turns into 2 seconds in 2034) for Mirotic.

    (Don’t come at me with anything else)

    Yeah lately it just seems like he has been hitting them well. When things were getting tough last night he was a factor in settling the team down and making some plays to put that game away.

    Aminu is so important to us winning games. His one off game in the last couple weeks was the Denver game and that is the only game we lost.

    And prior to that he was 0-5. Then prior to that 9-21 (43%). Then before that 10-36 (28%). Again--I'm looking at the past month-plus, not the past week.

    He had 2 good weeks before his injury (8g, 13-30, 43%), and three better weeks following his return (9g, 24-47, 51%), and in the 5 weeks since then, he's not been good (20g, 36-109, 33%), and bad more often than not (33% or below 13 of the past 20 games).

    Fact remains. He is shooting 39.2% from 3 for the season. That ain't bad.

    I like to look deeper than simplistic facts. Usually you do too.

    New development: Bulls now say Mirotic will not play vs. Trail Blazers and for immediate future.
