Bulls (5-1) at Celtics (2-4) Game #7 11/1/21

[Goldstar88]

Biggest lead of the season? Shooting has been excellent. 53% from the field and 47% from 3pt. 

[Indocelts]

JB and Horford should be the team captain.

[Ogaju]

Cs have a QB controversy

JB leading the team in pts, rbs and asts

Also leads the team in awesomeness.

If Jaylen turns out to be the best player on this team afterall, it's going to be a fun twist. As long as they win, I don't care who the best player is but I'm loving a lot of what I'm seeing from Jaylen this season.

[Atzar]

Good half.  I should probably complain less.

Smart, as much as his game frustrates me this year, is actually playing relatively well.  Derozan is one of the few guys in this league who he struggles to guard, though.

[Silas]

Derozan is a hand full.

[pokeKingCurtis]

Man, their D is so much better not doing this automatic switching crap. Perhaps Ime has actually learned that it's not a good look for us.

They basically played a zone, no? That was incredible defense (although Zach Lavine missing a few good looks from 3 for him helped a lot)

I'm thinking the weight gain has affected Tatum's shot. He's not been great even on free throws this year.

He should do more of a set shot now I guess, lower his release point. Rather he keep his weight. And a lower release point would be more consistent anyway, most top tier players do it.

JB's game doesn't disrupt the flow of the offense. Unlike JT who pounds the ball too often

Doesn’t help when Ime is putting Grant and Al on him. Slight mismatch..

[Ogaju]

lol Celtics got themselves a QB controversy.

[nickagneta]

They have been successful so far in neutralizing LaVine and Vuc. Great defense being played on those two by Horford, Timelord, Jaylen and Smart.

Benches
Celtics 43 mins 9 points
Bulls  38 mins 11 points

Celtic's starting 5 got it together in the second qtr

[footey]

Pritchard is out there to shoot 3's. He did not shoot anything.

Nesmith has to be given the opportunity.

Jaylen makes quicker decisions. They aren't always the right decisions, but he is quicker in making them. Also, he is elite at getting into the lane and finishing, something Tatum isn't even great at. His ability to explode off his first step and get defenders either on his hip or get past them is one of the best in the league.
