FVV man.
“He really rubs you off” 👀👀👀
It feels like we should be up by more
I don’t want Vanvleet to get low and rub me Stacey
Thats why theres no rush to trade Lavine. He’s still being a good teammate, trying to play within the offence and isn’t refusing to play or causing issues. Let him play and raise his value
Does anyone keep stats on number of times hitting the floor? Caruso’s gotta be like top 3 in the league.
Me watching Zach tonight…
Hindsight but man imagine if Zach could have figured his shit out at the start of the season
Bro look at this dude go – he definitely is playing to prove something out there
Caruso is so athletic man

If Zach plays every game like he’s playing tonight I don’t want him traded
Great first half from the Bulls. Defense was great, offense was great, loving this.
Zach joining AC on the all-defense team this year
That’s 1st team all defense Lavine
I feel like Zach is really buying in
Demar needs to go back to being spurs demar
Please Zach, play like this the rest of the season and I promise you we will win games.
Excellent quarter for Zach – hope he brings that energy in the 2nd half
Never seen Zach play like this. If you get consistent defensive effort from Zach along with Caruso you could beat a lot of teams. Like Stacey and Adam said this dude has the talent to be one of the better two-way players in the league if he just put in the effort.
glad zach is playing good on defense
Demar would take the last shot over 10 defenders with a gun to his head
Is this how Zach is going to be playing moving forward? If so, I don’t want to trade him. He can play off ball, shoot those catch & shoot 3s, and be engaged defensively.
did mjs ghost take over his soul? what happened to zach lmao?
Zach is like “look at me, I’m Lonzo now.” He’s filling up the stat sheet.
What the hell is wrong with debo
Do you guys remember how earlier this season, the Bulls scored 33 points in a full first half, for 2 games in a row?
It kinda pisses me off that he could of been playing like this the whole time
Ngl Zach is playing with alot of fire and is playing defense we need him if he’s like this
Lavine with 5 assists is all I need. He used to have less than 5 in a game, now he’s got 5 in a half. Add in the defense and he’s back to extremely valuable.
Those missed layups and bad dribbling aren’t as critical when he’s doing so much more every where else.
If y’all have league pass, should watch Minnesota @ Boston during halftime. Gonna be a great finish
Zach “Lonzo” LaVine has 9/6/5 with 3stl and 1blk
Don’t wanna jinx it but Warriors just let the pelicans drop nearly 50 on them in first quarter lol they’re broken finish this game off then we got warriors next and then spurs could be an extended win streak here
The winning formula: No jevon carter
wtf I love Zach Lavine now
“Zo”ach Lavine! Copyrighted.
I wonder how it feels playing mic’d up.. like how small is the mic? do they run around with one of those wireless transmitters strapped?
Hope Zach keeps this up
We need to win this game though, we need to beat solid teams to prove to Zach that if he plays like this it contributes to winning. If we lose then he’ll just think he needs to go out and only score again and it’s back to the same issues.
Is it possible for Coby to be younger than me and also my father?
Kinda cool how the injuries of the bulls actually helped more than it hurt. A couple months ago I wanted Dalen cut from this team, to now excited that he gets these minutes over Jevon lol.
Stacey voodoo doll lol
Zach could have been playing like this all along, but it took us winning without him and no one wanting him in a trade to come to his senses, regardless of how it happened, hopefully he keeps it up because he is very important if he can play this style
