Bulls Sunday Update for Week 17 of the 2019-20 Season: All-Star Break

2-14-20UCAllStarWeekend
The United Center, all lit up for All-Star Weekend 2020!

The Look Back:

The Bulls suffered two losses this week in the lead up to the NBA All-Star Break. Philadelphia beat them last Sunday, 118 – 111, and Washington got the better of them on Tuesday, 126 – 114. Zach LaVine continued to show the League that he deserved to be an All-Star, posting 32 points against the ‘76ers and 41 points against the Wizards.

MVP for Week 17: Zach LaVine (8)

What can I say about Zach that hasn’t already been said? The guy is a monster. He’s got no help right now, and he is doing everything in his power to carry this weak Bulls team on his back. He had two mammoth games this week and was the lone All-Star representative for the Bulls this weekend, taking home 4th place in the 3 Point Contest. Also this week, LaVine teased us all when a number of his practice dunks went viral on Bulls Twitter. The guy is an athletic freak!

The Look Ahead:

The Bulls have two games this week. They take on the Charlotte Hornets (18-36) at home on Thursday night, and Saturday they host the Phoenix Suns (22-33). These are two winnable games for what should be a rested and hungry roster. Hopefully, by the time the All-Star break is finished, some of the injured Bulls like Daniel Gafford and Wendell Carter Jr will be ready to go. That should help the defense out tremendously.

 

Until they’re ready to compete, thanks for reading and GO BULLS!
