My third annual Play-In preview is up at Sporting News ahead of Wednesday’s game. This isn’t going to be the pinnacle of basketball excellence, but it should be entertaining. There are several interesting strategic elements that I outlined based on rewatching both games that these guys played after the trade deadline (the Bulls won both of them, along with a third game played on Feb. 4).
I also included some notes on Josh Giddey, who I have to take a huge L on in terms of being way too low in my evaluation. I’ll surely have more on him during the offseason, but I picked out a couple of things besides the obvious 3-point shooting that have made him better during the last few months of the season.
Check out my preview here, and thanks as always for reading!
“The Heat list Pelle Larson, Isaiah Stevens, Alec Burks, Nikola Jokic, Kevin Love, and Andrew Wiggins as day-to-day.”
Think you got the wrong Nikola…
Thanks for posting here, love catching any of your Bulls work!
