Game 33 | Chicago Bulls (10-20) @ Cleveland Cavaliers (23-9)

Glad we didn’t lose. I would have been pretty dysphoric if they lost...

I really liked dunn going into last year. He was bad offensively but a very good rookie defender.

He seems to be coming into his own. Markannen is just an outstanding shooter. If he can rebound acceptably he is bare minimum a rich mans frye.

Wait till the Bulls get Lavine back. If he works out then Lavine, Dunn, Markannen look like an excellent return for Butler -- in fact, maybe the Bulls might end up winning the trade

These teams that traded star players did their homework and believed in 2nd year guys that had less then stellar rookie years and it's paying off.

The Bulls were high on Dunn and the Pacers high on Sabonis and they look to have been right.

Just shows you that you shouldn't judge guys so early into their career

Great job by FSO there to completely block out an important play down the stretch.

Their production crew is ass. Happens every single fucking game.

Offense struggled so that is when you go for the hustle stats and Cleveland did just that. 10 total steals, 6 between James and Wade, and 3 blocks.

Not a game worthy of a rewatch but a win is a win and its even sweeter knowing the Celtics lost.

On a side note, whoever is in charge of Cavs telecasts on Fox Sports Ohio needs to reassess their skills. More often than not they show replays or something and completely miss live plays. They just make bad decisions. I can count 2 instances with the LBJ audio where instead of live play they show that. We get it, its new and a gimmick but you can atleast put the video in a smaller window during play or better yet utilize your time management. The last one at 1.01 in the game happened right when the ball was being put back into play, you literally just had a timeout that spanned like 3 minutes and you showed the bench the entire time. Fred and AC can shut up for a minute and you could air the package then. Just moronic moves. They have not shown jump balls before, or they follow a camera whose angle is just not good for an entire play.

Bulls defense was great. That team has a lot of talent. Really meshing well

The ownership wants them to tank. I bet they ship off the dude that has a broken face and Sideshow Bob by the deadline.

Markannen seems a lot more athletic, better dribbler and cutter, can put the ball on the floor. Impressive young player.
