Gameday tradition 🤟
I miss having a guy like Alex Caruso on the roster
Didn’t matter if the Bulls were up 20 or down 20, he was playing 100 miles an hour
👀🔴

Key #5
Matas Buzelis
The kid has been playing great since getting the starting role
Keep feeding him and letting him grow
Him vs Thompson tonight should be a fun matchup

Key #4
More Jalen Smith
Jalen Smith has quietly been playing better than Nikola Vucevic for a solid month now
He plays harder, and his shooting has been much more efficient
He gives the Bulls more athleticism
I’d like to see him playing 20 minutes a game minimum

Key #3
Close out on the shooters
The Pistons have made 42 3’s in 2 games vs the Bulls this year
Between Beasley, THJ, Cade, and Fontecchio this team can get hot from 3
Bulls need to guard the 3 point line tonight and try to force them to finish at the rim

Key #2
Can Vuc pretend to play defense?
For his career against the Bulls Jalen Duren is averaging 14/14 shooting 68% 🤯
He dominates Vuc every time they play
Can Vuc try to be more than a traffic cone on defense tonight?

Key #1
Who’s guarding Cade Cunningham?
In 2 games vs the Bulls this year Cade is averaging 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 13 assists
The Bulls don’t seem to have anyone on the roster with both the quickness to stay in front of him, and the strength to stop him in the paint

Gameday tradition 🤟👀🔴

Key #5
Play the kid
Matas got the start the other night
Hopefully that’s a something that’s here to stay and not just something Billy did because Lonzo was out
Start Buzelis, and play him plenty of minutes with both Lonzo as his point guard and Patrick Williams as his other wing

Key #4
Feed Vuc
The Warriors did not address their center problems
Which means that in the half court Vuc should have a huge advantage
Run when you can, but those possession that get slowed down need to go through Vuc in the post

Key #3
RUN
The Bulls need to play faster
With Giddey, Lonzo, Coby, and Ayo they have the speed to push the ball up court
The warriors have an older team, the Bulls need to take advantage of that and get out in transition every chance they get

Key #2
Keep Jimmy Butler off the free throw line
First game as a Warrior AND it’s against his former team? The chip on Jimmy Butlers shoulder is gonna be even bigger than his ego tonight
Let Jimmy shoot from the outside, but focus on keeping him out the paint and off the line

Key #1
What role will the new guys play?
If Zach Collins takes over Jalen Smith’s role in the rotation I won’t be happy
Kevin Huerter may take Dalen Terry and Julian Phillips minutes
Tre Jones should take Jevon Carters role as the last resort guard
But really no one knows 🤷🏼‍♂️

Video breakdown of the keys

Key #5
Guard the 3 point line
The Wolves play similar to the Bulls
Lots of 3 point shooting
Lots of pick and roll
Very little off ball movement
They’re making 15 3’s per game this year
The Bulls are making 16
This could be a game that comes down to who gets hotter from 3

Key #4
Jaden McDaniels vs Patrick Williams
McDaniels got paid
Williams got paid
McDaniels has been outplayed by Nickeil Alexander Walker this yr
Williams has been outplayed by Matas Buzelis this yr
Both fan bases think their guy is overpaid/want them moved
Matchup intrigues me

Key #3
Gobert vs Vucevic
This is a matchup that never goes in the Bulls favor
Say what you want about Gobert, he’s one of the best rebounders in the league and always EATS on the offensive glass against the Bulls
Looks like Vuc is here for the long run, we need him to lock in

Key #2
Who’s guarding Anthony Edwards?
Slowing down Ant is a major key to stopping the wolves, especially with Julius Randle out
They don’t have a secondary creator on that team
If Ant is settling for 3’s it becomes much easier, if he starts attacking downhill he’s unstoppable

Key #1
PLAY BUZELIS
Lastnight was maybe the best game I’ve seen a rookie play in a Bulls uniform?
It was definitely the most efficient
10-10 from the field
4-4 from 3
Cuts to the rim for big dunks
Buzi Badass was doing everything
What more does he have to do to start??

Gameday tradition 🤟👀🔴

Key #5
Guard the 3 point line
Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks, Haywood Highsmith, Nikola Jovic
The Heat have 5 guys shooting above league average or higher from 3
Run them off the line, force Rozier or Jaques to be the ones knocking down shots tonight
