Giddey: 19-11
Matas: 21-6

Billy says the Bulls are going to have to be flexible when it comes to the starting lineup. Even when whole. He says they’ll start big tonight with Jalen Smith and Vooch.

“We have to get out of the old school NBA mindset of ‘here is my rotation, here’s when I go into the game”

Isaac Okoro (knee soreness) is out tonight. That’s also why he didn’t play the second half in Denver

Huerter, Jones, Phillips are all back tonight

The star upside days are behind him. Now it's on Patrick Williams to carve out a niche as an NBA role player

My three takeaways from Bulls/Cavs

▪️ Young building blocks show flashes
▪️ First look at the rotation
▪️ Ayo back and still doing Ayo thing
