Ayo Dosunmu putting in a strong performance so far tonight. Five points off the bench and really active hands off the ball on the defensive end. – 8:54 PM

Standing ovation for Joakim Noah during that timeout break. He’s 2-for-2 on attending Bulls-Knicks games at the United Center this season – 8:53 PM

Dosunmu is a lot more impactful than I thought he could be as a rookie. Just constant energy and effort on D. And plays with a ton of pace, which makes him a good fit with/replacement for Lonzo and Caruso, to get team in transition – 8:52 PM

The job Caruso is doing guarding Randle reminds me of when Brad Stevens put Marcus Smart on Porzingis during his Knicks days — giving up size but making it impossible for them to make a move. – 8:49 PM

Coby White is still finding his way after return from shoulder injury, but looks more aggressive on drives early in second quarter. Got a floater to drop and assisted a Caruso 3 driving and kicking off a closeout – 8:47 PM

Alex Caruso was matched up on Julius Randle to start this game. Obviously giving up a ton of size there. His defense in that first quarter, combined with help from Lonzo Ball, was impressive as usual. pic.twitter.com/f9BuUkffTO – 8:45 PM

I’d imagine that play where Lonzo Ball raced down on defense to beat Evan Fournier to a long outlet and knocked it off Fournier is the sort of video that Thibodeau will run for his team a few times. – 8:28 PM

Since the NBA/ABA merger 5 guards 21 or younger have averaged at least 20 Ppg, 5 Apg and 4 rpg on 53% or better shooting over a 10-game span:
4 of them went on to be MVPs:
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant
Derrick Rose
The other is TYRESE MAXEY in his last 10 games – 7:38 PM

The Greens were the only bigs Denver played in that game. Suns can either stick with McGee or go small. – 7:34 PM

It’s amazing how the Chicago Bears have spent the better part of the past 60 years producing bad offenses.
There have been some good years, of course. Maybe 10. 🤷🏽♂️. Or so.
