Like I Said

Two losses down, two games against a good team to go. So much for the Bulls’ four-game winning streak. Two things remain constant, though. This looks to be a team that can count on Coby White. If only the same could be said of Alex Caruso. White has been a revelation this season (and hats off to Sun-Times beat writer Joe Cowley for admitting he was wrong to write White off. That makes two of us.). Those two losses, in overtime to the Bucks and against reigning champs the Nuggets, saw White score thirty-three and twenty-seven points respectively. For the season, White is shooting 43.2 percent on three-pointers and tallying 4.5 assists a game. Lonzo who? Too bad Caruso missed both games due to injury. Each contest was close, and his defense could’ve made a difference in either of them. I know it’s not his fault, but the second coming of Jerry Sloan doesn’t matter unless he can play every game.
