Or Get Off the Pot

The Bulls are off on the West Coast, playing too mediocre and too late for me to stay up. Monday night I checked in before going to bed. They were down nineteen to the Kings pretty late in the third quarter. Nighty-night. Lo and behold, Coby White and company stormed back in the fourth quarter, outscoring Sacramento by eighteen for a comeback win, 113-109. Shame on me for losing faith. Or not. White scored 37 points to 33 for DeMar DeRozan and 20 for Ayo Dosunmu. After that, ick, as in Alex Caruso shooting 1-for-10 on the night, including 0-for-6 from beyond the arc. That’s this Bulls’ team in a nutshell, the good and ugly fighting it out on the floor night after night. Jerry Reinsdorf’s other team is 5-5 over their last ten games, with wins against the Cavs, Pelicans and Kings, good teams all. The losses come against good teams and bad teams, the Celtics and the Pistons. It all adds up to a 29-32 record. It’s either 30 wins or 33 losses after tonight’s game in Utah. The Jazz are basically the Bulls-West, at 28-34. You have to win against an opponent like this. We’ll see.
