One More Than the Other

The White Sox beat the Dodgers 5-2 yesterday, with a Rule 5 pitcher I never heard of striking out Shohei Ohtani twice. Too bad it doesn’t count, although it sort of does. What counts for sure is the Bulls winning last night against the Heat in Miami, 114-109. Wow, two wins in a row on the road. Twenty-two-year old Josh Giddey may actually be the real deal as a guard who can both shoot and pass; at least over the past month or so he has, which makes the trade that sent Alex Caruso to Oklahoma City not look so bad. I mean, a guy can hope. It’s also been interesting to watch center Zach Collins play; The Bulls got him in the three-way deal that sent Zach LaVine to Sacramento last month. Hmm. Collins looks to be a decent player, physical and with a soft shooting touch. On top of that, he’s all of 27, which makes him seven years younger than Nikola Vucevic. You can see the age difference every time Collins runs down the floor. What does it all mean? Just a two-game winning streak, but one that allows the Bulls’ front office to argue they aren’t total screwups. Right now, that’ll have to do.
