    Nicola Mirotic Leads the NBA in 4th Quarter scoring since All-Star Break

    answer to this trivia question I posed as a fun start to a discussion about Mirotic and the Bulls


    got betpointed for some reason, so no one was going to see it

    He is better fan your avg fan thinks but this stat is still an attest (first time I ever spelled that word in my life was blown away when it wasnt underlined in red) how absolutely atrocious an inept the Chicago Bulls offense is.

    It seems like it's always what could've been with the balls after Jordan left… Rest in peace Jack Haley

    i think that's only bcoz, the other team is so ahead that they
    let starters sit, and the Bulls try to make the final score seem less embarrassing

    Bulls are still dangerous when healthy, they match up well vs Cleveland.

    Its a horrible match up for Chicago. Cleveland is deep, Chicago has like 7 or 8 guys maybe. Tibs gonna be out at end of season we all know this. Mozgov can protect the rim against Chicago. Irving will make Rose work on D or he will get lit up and we all know Sissy Rose dont like playing D. Bulls have nobody who can guard LeBron or even slow him down. Bulls have 1.5 maybe 2, 3 pojnt shooters at best. Cavs bench with Thompson more potent scoring than Bulls.

    I remember him, when he played for Real Madrid. He was really good, when he played in the Euroleague and I'm glad he made a transition to NBA.

    If you're going by the premise that nobody can slow him down, fine.

    But if anyone can, I'd say the Bulls would have to be in your top 3 along with the Spurs and maybe the Grizzlies. They have the perfect personnel to have the best shot at defending him with Butler (see his defense on LeBron in 2012 playoffs, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league) and Snell (doesn't mean much but he embarrassed LeBron in a recent regular season game). And when they feel like it they play good team defense. Obviously on some nights it won't matter.

    At full strength, yeah. It all depends on Butler getting healthy and Rose being at least close to himself. Without that, they have no chance. At full strength, they've always had a chance, and still do. Developing Mirotic as a weapon is at least one positive side-effect of all of the injuries.
