Stacey King is right: Chandler Hutchison needs to be more aggressive. There’s no point being a low-volume low-usage non-factor on a team like the Bulls. Even if that’s what feels most comfortable to him, like he’s content to be a Tony Snell with some extra rebounding for the rest of his career, he needs to…

Robin Lopez 17 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2019)
For some reason, every time Robin Lopez made a bucket against the Nuggets (which was often, for him), Stacey King said “*INSERT CRUDDY CENTER FROM THE DISTANT PAST* would be proud”. Is he trying to make fun of Lopez’ retro style of play, or is he just trying to insert some levity into the utterly…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 27 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2019)
Lauri “The Markksman” Markkanen would have had a fair-to-good chance of beating his career high of 33 if he had been allowed to play more than one minute in the fourth quarter of this game. He only needed six more points after scoring 27 in the first three periods and, at points, looking unstoppable while…
Read MoreJabari Parker 18 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2019)
It’s been roughly a month since Jabari Parker was forcibly removed from the Bulls’ rotation. Occasionally, he would randomly play a few minutes here and there, but mostly, he’s been collecting DNP’s. And butt splinters from riding the pine for entire games. In that time, the Bulls organization has been looking to trade the guy….
Read MoreWendell Carter 22 Points Full Highlights (1/9/2018)
In a draft class where there are nine players averaging double-figure scoring, Wendell Carter Jr. has slipped under the radar a little bit. He’s not putting up insane numbers on insane efficiency like certain other rookie centers whose names name with D’Andray Payton, and, despite being in a large media market, nobody hypes him up…
Read MoreKris Dunn 16 Points/17 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
The end of this video blows my mind. There’s so many big shots. There’s so many big plays. If I was watching this game live as a Bulls fan, I would have blown out an aorta and bled to death in my own bedroom. And if I was watching this game live as a Pacers…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 27 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
It is painfully apparent to me that there needs to be a term for a shot that is supremely clutch but is not a game winner, either because it doesn’t actually put the scoring team in the lead or because it is later usurped by an even clutcher shot. Lauri Markkanen’s three-pointer to tie the…
Read MoreWendell Carter 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/28/2018)
Remember when the Bulls players had a discussion (thru texts) among themselves about whether or not they should boycott practice in wake of Jim Boylen’s terrible coaching and insensitive comments to the media which basically threw the players under the bus? I wonder how Wendell Carter Jr. felt about that whole thing. It’s hard to…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 31 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
When Lauri Markkanen has a good scoring game, the Bulls win. When he doesn’t they lose. There’s no conditionals here. No caveats. This is just a straight up fact. I’m defining “good scoring game” as being 22 points or more, a number chosen because it is one field goal above 20. Markkanen has scored that…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 32 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2018)
Almost a quarter of the runtime of this video is devoted to Lauri Markkanen dunking on Nikola Vucevic and the ensuing replays/amusing commentary from Stacey King. They even brought out the Poster Machine! I guess I had forgotten that the Poster Machine was an actual thing they did and not just a fun turn of…
