Chicago Bulls Claim Victory on the Road Against Utah Jazz
Transcript
00:00 By the way, the Chicago Bulls went on the road. They said as four and a half point favorites won the game against Utah, but did not cover.
00:06 I like what I'm seeing here. They're starting a lot of Davis for the Chicago Bulls.
00:09 The Rose and Vucevic White again, 29 points, 23 points and 25 respectively.
00:14 They pull out a victory on the road against the Jazz, a much-needed victory for the Bulls now,
00:18 looking to make a charge here in the playoff run to try to maybe get themselves out of the play-in series.
00:26 I definitely don't think they can get out of the play-in. I don't know.
00:30 The Bulls are the most, I guess this is the team that we are, they're just going to be the 7, 8 or 9 seed.
00:37 Every year in perpetuity, DeMar DeRozan is a free agent after a year.
00:41 They're probably just going to resign him to a neutral contract.
00:44 They're going to run back the DeRozan-Vucevic experience.
00:47 I suppose Zach Levine will not be on the team next year, so maybe that'll make things a little bit different.
00:52 I do like the Caruso-DeSumo backcourt.
00:56 The issue being neither one of them is a really particularly effective scorer at this stage in their careers.
01:02 They're both insanely good defenders.
01:04 You would, I mean, I would love to see Caruso on a good team.
01:08 I would love to see DeSumo on a good team.
01:10 Like, DeSumo for the Lakers, it's kind of an interesting one.
01:14 If he was in the backcourt there with Austin Reeves, that would be pretty interesting.
01:18 You know, this is a win that the Bulls had to get.
01:21 Don't know if you could grade this as a good win.
01:23 The Jazz are like, not only have they trade away half the rotation of the trade deadline,
01:29 but they are out four of their starters.
01:31 They, they, they, doesn't happen very often.
01:34 They did actually start a guy last night, Donnie, that I have never heard of.
01:38 This, this Bryce Stenselbaugh character did not, could not have picked him out of a lineup.
01:44 I do remember Luka Samanich from his time with the San Antonio Spurs,
01:48 but this is like a super thinned out rotation.
01:51 They had to call up Johnny Juzang from their G League squad.
01:54 The return of Omer Yurtsevin, the former backup center for the Miami Heat, is getting in there.
01:59 Like, I, it's kind of, I actually like this about the NBA when we get into true silly season.
02:05 Some of these teams that are not trying to win, you'll be like,
02:08 is that the right guy and you'll remember a guy from five years ago who's playing.
