The Chicago Bulls played their best game of the season last night — without Zach LaVine or DeMar DeRozan.
So what exactly does that mean? chicagotribune.com/sports/bulls/c… – 10:23 AM

The Bulls posted a season-high 32 assists and placed eight players in double figures. But the postgame talk pushed back on the theory those things happened because Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan sat.

Great win by the Bulls at home over the Bucks in overtime without DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine.
This is all observers have asked from the Bulls all season. They acted like they gave a damn. – 10:51 PM

Oof!
Bulls get blown out 124-97 in Boston, losing every game of this road trip as they extend a five-game losing streak.
Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan both exited early with injuries.
Celtics made 21 shots behind the arc as they hunted the blowout for the In-Season Tournament. – 9:43 PM

DeMar DeRozan just went down hard. Holding his leg in evident pain, but gets up to continue play. He’s still wincing though as he continues through ensuing possessions. – 8:54 PM

Man, DeMar DeRozan objected to the Raptors taking a shot at the end last game? That’s nothing compared to what the Celtics are gonna try to do in the 2nd half. – 8:34 PM

DeMar DeRozan is a long-time fan of @USCWBB star JuJu Watkins, who is on track to beat multiple school records set by Lisa Leslie.
“I’m not surprised at it at all.”
He’s excited for the future of the program — and hopes to have another DeRozan or two in a USC jersey. pic.twitter.com/BHNMuFVuAG – 1:32 PM

More on this storyline
But since the “Big Three” of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic came together going into the 2021-22 season, LaVine has missed 22 regular-season games. DeRozan has missed 16 in that same time. In the games without DeRozan, the Bulls are 7-9 losing by an average margin of 13.1 points in those nine games. Without LaVine they are 12-10 losing by a margin of 10 points. They aren’t a playoff team without LaVine, but they haven’t exactly been a playoff team with him, either. One visit to the postseason – a one-round exit in which they won just one game – is all he’s given them in seven seasons. -via Chicago Sun-Times / December 1, 2023
After all these months (years?) of chatter about the Bulls and Raptors becoming sellers, they remain at the forefront of nearly every trade deadline season conversation I have with scouts and executives these days. You know the usual suspects by now — OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam as the headliners in Toronto, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan in Chicago and high-level role players from both teams possibly hitting the market as well. DeRozan, perhaps more than any of the aforementioned players, is considered very likely to be on the move before the deadline passes. -via The Athletic / December 1, 2023
Cody Westerlund: Nikola Vucevic directly pushes back at idea Bulls played with more spirit because Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan were out: “Nah, that has nothing to do with it. That has nothing to do with it. We just came together. We knew we had to show better spirit, we came back home.” -via Twitter / December 1, 2023
