Wow, I had no idea Jimmy was having such a great season. Everything's basically the same but he's shooting so much better. Interesting. Is it just one of those years, or is he doing something different?
I was pissed when they traded Jimmy for Zack and Chris done. And Jimmy has certainly had a better career. But I wonder if Jimmy wouldn’t have pushed for a trade some point anyway because the bulls suck so bad and never played up to his level. And Reinsdorf wasn’t letting them spend to get there anyway. And one thing Zach has going for him. He’s three years younger.
Updated this post with this: I could've saved myself some time trying to find the 'real Miami Heat' and just used Dan Feldman's adjustments for 'playoff rotation only lineups', where he looked to remove scrubs from regular season lineup data to get a better picture of team performance.
Bulls look pretty similar to the PatBev era, which makes sense as they've been healthy.
Heat improved by a lot, from overall negative to being even with PatBev Bulls (statistically)
Seems fitting that to make the playoffs, the bulls will have to win 4 games in row for the first time all season, and go 4-0 vs the Heat (no small feat). Like, this is as good a time as any for this iteration of the bulls to finally show if they're (relatively) good

Looking at that makes me wonder whose decline has hurt the heat the most. Lowry? His shooting has been super bad this year.

Winner Take All*
*In which All stands for facing the #1 seed in a best of seven series
Can we at least agree if we win it all, this will be the greatest upset run in NBA history?

Let's go, Bulls.

Patrick Beverley is the biggest punk-ass bitch in the league.
Sorry I thought there would be 15 minutes of pregame

Tied up late in the 3rd. I’d feel basically the same about a competitive win or loss.
