For all those fans who think the Bulls always get bad whistle, L2M report says they should’ve been called for three Defensive 3-second violations, including one on Zach LaVine with 3.3 seconds left, vs. Magic.

Zach LaVine said X-rays were negative on his left shoulder. Said he ran into Wagner. Said he got treatment during game. Figures he’ll be in pain tomorrow but said he thinks he’ll be OK – 11:08 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Billy Donovan said he checked with Zach LaVine on his left shoulder and LaVine said at halftime he’d try the first 5 minutes to see if he could go. Donovan didn’t hear from LaVine again. LaVine was clearly wincing throughout and raising left arm over head as if to stretch it – 10:43 PM

Tough shooting for the Bulls in the first half, who went 4-for-14 from behind the arc.
Zach LaVine is 0-for-3 from deep, 1-for-6 from the field. – 9:05 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Zach LaVine has been raising his left arm over his head and wincing. Looks like he’s trying to stretch out some pain in that arm. – 8:45 PM

… I kinda like the Bill Simmons “Michael Porter Jr. and Zeke Nnaji for Zach LaVine” trade idea.
Chicago breaks up the LaVine contract and clears the ball-handling logjam for Coby and Giddey.
Denver gets a badly-needed dose of creation without sacrificing shooting. – 3:32 PM

Zach LaVine is dynamite as a cutter. He’s always been frustratingly reluctant to do it (only had 3 baskets labeled as cuts last year), but Josh Giddey and Lonzo Ball have unlocked that element of his game. pic.x.com/kiCzQHlUhZ11:51 AM

Zach LaVine only had two 3’s in his entire previous season where he got off the ball and relocated to the 3-point line. He had two in the 4th quarter against the Grizzlies, leading a huge comeback.
He’s shooting 45.7% from 3 on a career-high 8.8 attempts per game. pic.x.com/dE6va2SNiX11:03 AM

Sorry to the Grizzlies but you just got LaVine and Vooched pic.x.com/VDzcfUc7mN8:04 AM

Zach LaVine and Josh Giddey both pointed to those huge bench minutes in 3rd as crucial to victory. – 11:09 PM

I was told that teams didn’t think Zach Lavine had any trade value. Well shame on them… he’s only averaging a casual 25 points on 55% shooting!!! – 10:11 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Sloppy second half for Memphis. They’ve missed a few they definitely want back. LaVine is nuclear. – 10:08 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Bulls up to 44 3-point attempts with 21 makes tonight.
Grizzlies actually defended the last possession well, still ended in a LaVine 3. – 10:01 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
That Giddey-LaVine connection is going to be really neat to watch. Just match each other’s skillsets really well. – 10:00 PM

More on this storyline

KC Johnson: Bulls 102, Magic 99 Bulls over .500 for first time since Nov. 2, 2022 White 21 pts Vucevic 18 pts, 14 rebs Giddey 20 pts, 11 rebs, 5 assists LaVine 11 pts, 10 Rebs 6 in doubles Banchero 31 pts; Banked 3 at buzzer waved off -via Twitter @KCJHoop / October 30, 2024
Guard Zach LaVine compared Giddey to Ricky Rubio, while veteran big man Nikola Vucevic has raved about how perfectly Giddey fits into what they want to do offensively. “I think [Giddey’s] playmaking is huge and a thing that is going to help us a lot,” Vucevic said. “He makes passes that not many people can see, and I think his size is something that people underestimate a little bit. “For him, it’s the same as it is for us, just getting used to playing next to each other. As a team, we need to build that chemistry, but I think he’s a player that can help us a lot, especially with his vision. We want to play fast, and I think that’s his style, as well.” -via Chicago Sun-Times / October 27, 2024
