Karnisovic crafted a below average team that can't beat a good team to save its life. Not a laughingstock anymore though....so congrats. Let's give him a statue.

That’s all Jerry cares for. Get to the playoffs and don’t spend in the luxury to do it and you have a life long career here.

His D really hasn’t been all that good as of late and he’s been abysmal offensively. He had what, 2 air balls tonight on open looks? His shot has been just as cold if not colder than Cobys
Shooting woes one could perhaps write off to the wrist that is still healing, but the defense is what it is I guess. He's a good defender, but he's no Jrue Holiday, gets overmatched a lot. Not his fault, we don't have size.

Do you ever do anything but complain?

Butt-whippin, plain and simple. Outscored every period, season sweep.

Well, I guess they're champs for a reason.

I believe both king and gill mentioned he's still also got lingering issues with either his back or hamstring that are hampering his defensive abilities

Was gonna mention this but then you made it a point. Caruso has more wrong with him than just his wrist.

Yeah, bulls have a lot of problems. Perimeter defense and size is a big one

If so then yeah that it what it is. He's trying but can only do so much.

He probably won't be the same rest of season either. Back spasms don't usually just go away without rest / targeted conditioning (while avoiding things like playing a basketball game).

Why wouldn’t it?
Zach would likely be part of the trade to acquire Jokic. Unless you just think Denver is down to get fleeced lol

Yeah you’re prob right. It’s a nice pipe dream though

Does joker play solid defense? I don’t watch enough denver games to really have an opinion on his defense. I just imagine that like Vuc, he isn’t much of a rim protector with that lack of athleticism. I worry the bulls would be in much the same place defensively that they currently are. Could be wrong on that, though

An upgrade at center, acquiring an actual power forward, an off-season to get healthy, a bit more depth all around, and they could be relevant next year.

He has 105 steals and 61 blocks on the year so far, for whatever that's worth to you.

If you care for the advanced stats he's at 4.4 DWS and 4.5 DBPM, both of which rate near or at the top in the league.

Eye test wise, he's just in the right spot and manages to affect shots without necessarily blocking them and he probably almost always gets the rebound off the miss.

A win here could potentially help to make a 1st round matchup with the Celtics. A loss pretty much guarantees a 1st round matchup with the Sixers who have beaten us every time since Embiid started playing.

Lavine is probable and Caruso is doubtful for tonight

The positives for this season are Bulls are out of laughingstock status as an organization. They made the playoffs....which is something as well. I'm mad they made us think they were actually a good team....but oh well. I pray Karnisovis sees how this team needs SHOOTERS...and proceeds to get some. Missing Lonzo hurts...but shouldn't be this damn much. It is what it is.

That’s what I kinda figured. Just high basketball IQ to know where to position that big body

Wouldn’t a win knock the Celtics down to the 4 spot and leave the bulls still in the 6 spot? I don’t see a solid way to get a first round matchup with the Celtics out of this. Not impossible by any means, just feel the bucks or sixers are our fate
