- 1:19Speaker 1: Josh Gatty had another phenomenal performance twenty five points, eleven assays,
- 1:22Speaker 1: fourteen rebounds and one of the best game when its
- 1:24Speaker 1: shots you will ever see. What's your own two eyes?
- 1:26Speaker 1: And as I'm sitting here and I'm watching this moment
- 1:28Speaker 1: one of the best comebacks down by five or twelve
- 1:30Speaker 1: secs ago, and they made it happen in regulation, mind you,
- 1:33Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it like this is one of the
- 1:36Speaker 1: coolest moments I have ever had to experience as a
- 1:39Speaker 1: Bulls fan. That it may say something about where the
- 1:41Speaker 1: Bulls have been over the last twenty plus years, but
- 1:44Speaker 1: this random march game that may not mean anything in
- 1:47Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, was so damn fun that,
- 1:50Speaker 1: like y'all have never seen me create content while any
- 1:53Speaker 1: of my favorite teams were good as long as I've
- 1:55Speaker 1: been creating content, the Bulls were either tanking during like
- 1:59Speaker 1: the window or the Lowry Market and Chris Dunn era,
- 2:02Speaker 1: or starting the reup that inevitably failed, which was the
- 2:05Speaker 1: DeMar Deroz and zach lavine Vussevich experiment, and then what
- 2:08Speaker 1: we are now. I have never been a fan of
- 2:11Speaker 1: a good team in my content creation life. The last
- 2:14Speaker 1: son the Bulls were good, I was in high school
- 2:16Speaker 1: and I wasn't really diving into content creation. Same thing
- 2:19Speaker 1: happens with the Chicago White Sox, where like last year
- 2:22Speaker 1: we were the worst team in the history of the
- 2:26Speaker 1: sport and the Bears. So like, you've never seen me
- 2:30Speaker 1: be a guy that can talk about his favorite team
- 2:33Speaker 1: super positively. And I say that to say I understand it.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I'm not even saying that the Bulls are good right now.
- 2:39Speaker 1: We've been playing really good basketball as of late, but
- 2:41Speaker 1: that doesn't make you good A fifteen game sample size,
- 2:43Speaker 1: a seventeen games sample size doesn't make you a good
- 2:45Speaker 1: basketball team. But I understand it. Where y'all are my comments?
- 2:48Speaker 1: And Kenny, you got to talk about my favorite team
- 2:51Speaker 1: because they're playing great. Weell, I turn on the TV,
- 2:53Speaker 1: and Lord knows, I don't be watching these daytime basketball
- 2:56Speaker 1: or sports shows no more. But I turned on TV
- 2:57Speaker 1: this morning just to see who I get any moment
- 3:00Speaker 1: it's a bulls talking. We did and it was electric.
- 3:02Speaker 1: So I say that all to say, I understand where
- 3:05Speaker 1: y'all are coming from. And I'm not a toxic fan
- 3:07Speaker 1: by any means. Like my boy Mike is a die
- 3:10Speaker 1: hard Lakers fan. I could have hit the group chat
- 3:11Speaker 1: talking all the amount of trash to him about the
- 3:14Speaker 1: two games we played against the Lakers. That's not in
- 3:15Speaker 1: my character necessarily, but like I understand when y'all are
- 3:19Speaker 1: friendly trash talking me when your favorite team beat up
- 3:21Speaker 1: on the Bulls. Back to the original, I was wrong
- 3:24Speaker 1: about the Josh Skittty trade. And one thing that was
- 3:27Speaker 1: very important in my household as I was growing up was,
- 3:30Speaker 1: you know, having the I don't know, I didn't even
- 3:32Speaker 1: know the words for it. Let's just say, ability to
- 3:35Speaker 1: admit when you are wrong. My parents told me growing
- 3:38Speaker 1: up that being able to admit your faults WOU was
- 3:41Speaker 1: just overall, be better at every single relationship that you have,
- 3:44Speaker 1: whether it be personal, whether it be family, whether it
- 3:46Speaker 1: be whatever. Being able to say my fault that's on
- 3:49Speaker 1: me goes a long way, and I've never shied away
- 3:52Speaker 1: from that. Even in content creation. You think about it
- 3:54Speaker 1: like this, three hundred and sixty five days out of
- 3:56Speaker 1: the year, I'm creating basketball content. I'm making predictions, going
- 4:00Speaker 1: to be wrong on this channel. I make fun of
- 4:03Speaker 1: myself for not swing and miss. Remember the dude that
- 4:06Speaker 1: said that the Phoenix Suns were gonna have a good
- 4:08Speaker 1: regular season record, them dudes fighting to make the plan.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I was wrong there, and we can laugh about it.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Me being wrong about the Josh Getty Alas Grusso trade
- 4:16Speaker 1: is amazing because that means my team did something good.
- 4:20Speaker 1: They did something good. So let's reflect on what happened
- 4:25Speaker 1: in that trade. If you don't remember, it was a
- 4:26Speaker 1: straight up one for in als Grusso to ok See
- 4:29Speaker 1: Josh Getty to the Chicago Bulls. And originally my first
- 4:33Speaker 1: thought was, how do we not have the leverage to
- 4:37Speaker 1: get any draft assets out of this trade? Especially considering
- 4:40Speaker 1: who you traded with in OKC, who at that point
- 4:43Speaker 1: had I think seventeen first round picks in a gazillion
- 4:46Speaker 1: I might be exaggerating here, but maybe not a gazillion
- 4:49Speaker 1: second round picks in their treasure chest. How do we
- 4:51Speaker 1: not get any form of draft compensation. The Bulls had
- 4:54Speaker 1: all the leverage as multiple teams were calling about an
- 4:57Speaker 1: all defensive player in Alics Caruso and Josh Gitty had
- 5:00Speaker 1: just flamed out of the playoffs. So on my mind,
- 5:02Speaker 1: it was a poor asset management call. And I can
- 5:05Speaker 1: reflect on it the Steel say, I think that's probably
- 5:08Speaker 1: still the case that if the Bulls asked for one
- 5:10Speaker 1: of the heavily protected first or three second round picks,
- 5:13Speaker 1: Sam Presty would probably say yes to that track. Josh
- 5:16Speaker 1: Getty in hisself has evolved a lot, not just between
- 5:20Speaker 1: last year and this year, but in this season alone,
- 5:23Speaker 1: and I think there's a couple different factors for this.
- 5:24Speaker 1: But like earlier in the year, Josh Giddy was almost
- 5:28Speaker 1: unplayable in fourth quarters. And I just cherry picked the
- 5:32Speaker 1: first four or five of the first ten games of
- 5:36Speaker 1: the season for Josh Getty and just looking at fourth
- 5:39Speaker 1: quarter stats, he starts off the fourth quarter. This is
- 5:42Speaker 1: like Game three of the season. Game three of the season.
- 5:44Speaker 1: He starts off the fourth quarter, he hits two shots,
- 5:46Speaker 1: hit the three. He did not close this game. Instead,
- 5:48Speaker 1: they opted to go with Ayo Desumo. A few games later,
- 5:51Speaker 1: against his old team, Josh Getty played five minutes in
- 5:54Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Again, that was the first five minutes
- 5:56Speaker 1: and not the second five minutes. First five minutes, not
- 5:58Speaker 1: the second five minutes. You get what I'm saying. He
- 6:00Speaker 1: started off that game in the fourth quarter and didn't finish.
- 6:02Speaker 1: This is a game where he did play the fourth quarter.
- 6:04Speaker 1: In this fourth quarter, he scored seven point teams a
- 6:06Speaker 1: plus fourteen. Shout out to him in this one, but
- 6:08Speaker 1: it was I don't want to call it a rare occasion,
- 6:11Speaker 1: but like there are many games where Josh Getty just
- 6:14Speaker 1: straight up didn't play fourth quarters. And we're talking about
- 6:17Speaker 1: enclose games, this doesn't count because the Bulls were down
- 6:21Speaker 1: by so much that nobody played in the fourth quarter.
- 6:23Speaker 1: That was good. This article from Sports Illustrated shows you
- 6:26Speaker 1: that again. In November eleventh, NBA fans react to the
- 6:30Speaker 1: Bulls Josh Getty decision, and that decision was from Casey Johnson.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Do soon wu closing over Getty again. So this was
- 6:37Speaker 1: happening time and time again, probably because Josh Getty is
- 6:40Speaker 1: the worst defender I've ever laid my eyes on. That
- 6:43Speaker 1: is from fans. Josh Getty getting exploited on defense all
- 6:47Speaker 1: game another one. Defense is a huge factor in trying
- 6:50Speaker 1: to win games. Case, how much does Josh Getty get
- 6:53Speaker 1: in the open marketing restricted free agency? So like this
- 6:56Speaker 1: was a normal occurrence for Billy Donovan took bench the
- 7:00Speaker 1: bench Josh Getty in favor of someone else because he
- 7:03Speaker 1: just couldn't stay on the floor defensively. And now it
- 7:06Speaker 1: is completely shifted where like you can't even take him
- 7:08Speaker 1: off the floor. And I think there's a couple different things.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Josh Getty has been very candid about teams picking on
- 7:14Speaker 1: him defensively and he said it's embarrassing. He doesn't want
- 7:16Speaker 1: it to happen anymore. And I truly do believe that
- 7:18Speaker 1: Josh Getty has raised his level of play on the
- 7:20Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. He's far from being a
- 7:23Speaker 1: good defender slash great defender, but the effort is there,
- 7:25Speaker 1: and there are certain matchups where I do believe Josh
- 7:27Speaker 1: Getty excels that. I do believe that. I mean, some
- 7:29Speaker 1: of the steels that you see him create is just
- 7:31Speaker 1: getting his hand in the cookie jar. As a help
- 7:33Speaker 1: defender and causing a strip. The game seal or the
- 7:36Speaker 1: game winning steel, if you will, is just him playing
- 7:38Speaker 1: smart and using his active hands, and that was something
- 7:41Speaker 1: that wasn't really happening earlier in the season. So we've
- 7:43Speaker 1: seen him progress on a night to night basis. It
- 7:47Speaker 1: feels like another thing that I think benefited Josh Getty
- 7:50Speaker 1: is the Chicago Bulls at one point in time. This
- 7:54Speaker 1: is their roster, right, This is even the people that
- 7:56Speaker 1: got traded, like Zach Levine at one point in time,
- 7:59Speaker 1: they he had so many guards that it made it
- 8:04Speaker 1: easier for Billy Donovan to bench one of them if
- 8:07Speaker 1: one of them wasn't playing well. Josh Giddy, Lonzo Ball,
- 8:10Speaker 1: Javon was getting some burn. You had Zach Levine, you
- 8:13Speaker 1: had Iyo, you had Kobe, you had Dalen, you had
- 8:17Speaker 1: Thht who ended up playing a lot of minutes at
- 8:19Speaker 1: one point in the season, and it was just too
- 8:21Speaker 1: many cooks in the kitchen where Anybody that has watched
- 8:24Speaker 1: Josh Giddy over the course of his career recognize that
- 8:26Speaker 1: Josh Getty is so much more of an effective on
- 8:28Speaker 1: ball player than off ball player. While when he was
- 8:30Speaker 1: playing with all of these other guards. He basically had
- 8:33Speaker 1: to change his personal game to fit with the others,
- 8:36Speaker 1: and it wasn't really his cup of team. Now recently,
- 8:39Speaker 1: with this explosion of on court impact, we've seen Ayod
- 8:44Speaker 1: Deasum will go out for the rest of the season,
- 8:45Speaker 1: get well soon. Zach Lavine of course has been traded,
- 8:48Speaker 1: Trey Jones is out for some time, Lonzo ball is
- 8:50Speaker 1: out for the time. So now we genuinely have what
- 8:53Speaker 1: seems to be a normal rotation compared to other teams.
- 8:56Speaker 1: When you're not playing seventeen guards in one center and
- 8:59Speaker 1: saying this is the way it goes. There is a
- 9:01Speaker 1: point in the season where the Bulls were really running
- 9:03Speaker 1: out four point guards in one center. Now, this is
- 9:07Speaker 1: a game where Josh Getty played well, Belonzo Iyo, Josh
- 9:10Speaker 1: Getty and Kobe White would voots and they ended up
- 9:12Speaker 1: winning this game, but they were starting this level of
- 9:15Speaker 1: lineup on a nightly basis, and like Josh Getty wasn't
- 9:19Speaker 1: Again in this game, he played very well, but like
- 9:21Speaker 1: in the Grand Scheme, he wasn't getting the amount of
- 9:23Speaker 1: touches or opportunity to create for himself for others because
- 9:27Speaker 1: he had four other guys that do well with the
- 9:30Speaker 1: ball in their hands. Eventually, you saw Billy Donovan decide
- 9:33Speaker 1: to make the decision of midas wuzzellis starting, and that's
- 9:36Speaker 1: a big body. And now we got less cooks in
- 9:39Speaker 1: the kitchen. And I've been trying, I've been trying so
- 9:42Speaker 1: very hard to find like some database rocket see advance stats,
- 9:47Speaker 1: but only advance stats for the last twenty games, because
- 9:50Speaker 1: if I go to overall Evan stats, Josh Getty stats
- 9:52Speaker 1: don't jump off the page because it's got like the
- 9:55Speaker 1: games where you know he was playing not so great.
- 9:58Speaker 1: But I really want to see what this net rating
- 10:01Speaker 1: looks like. I really want to see what his efficiency
- 10:04Speaker 1: numbers looks like. Because one thing that has been better
- 10:07Speaker 1: thout the course of the season, Josh Kitty is putting
- 10:09Speaker 1: his head down and he is getting to the basket
- 10:11Speaker 1: at will in a lot of cases where not a
- 10:13Speaker 1: lot of people are able to stay in front of him,
- 10:14Speaker 1: which is funny because he's not like extremely quick, or
- 10:18Speaker 1: he doesn't have like a crazy handle or anything. Only
- 10:22Speaker 1: thing he's got is this really good push ahead dribble
- 10:24Speaker 1: in transition. If you watch the Bulls, you'll know you'll
- 10:26Speaker 1: throw it he'll throw like six ft in front of
- 10:28Speaker 1: himself and like catch up with the ball. But that's
- 10:30Speaker 1: kind of it. And for the first time in his career,
- 10:32Speaker 1: he has a positive expected wins and that's that's amazing, man,
- 10:36Speaker 1: that's really is amazing. And again, I wonder if we
- 10:38Speaker 1: just took the last twenty five games opposed to the
- 10:41Speaker 1: whole seventy games sample size, what it could look like.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Oh I did it. Oh my god, I found out how,
- 10:46Speaker 1: Oh my god's better to be great. So in the
- 10:48Speaker 1: last let's give it twenty games. The only reason I
- 10:50Speaker 1: win nineteen games is because this is the first game
- 10:54Speaker 1: without zach Lavine. So since the zach Lavine trade. The
- 10:58Speaker 1: actual on course stats are twenty one points per game,
- 11:01Speaker 1: nine rebounds, seven and a half assists, which is great.
- 11:03Speaker 1: You're shooting fifty one percent from the field, forty nine
- 11:06Speaker 1: percent from three, almost eighty percent from the free throw line,
- 11:09Speaker 1: a twenty six percent usage. His points per shot attempt
- 11:13Speaker 1: is twenty one twenty eight point eight, one twenty eight
- 11:16Speaker 1: point eight. What if he did that for an entire season?
- 11:19Speaker 1: What does that look like? Is that now that's bothering me?
- 11:21Speaker 1: One twenty eight point eight sounds like insane. One twenty
- 11:26Speaker 1: eight point eight get get rid of these dudes that
- 11:29Speaker 1: don't play. One twenty eight point eight is Sam Houser efficiency,
- 11:32Speaker 1: Cam Johnson efficiency, Zach Lavine efficiency. So that's really good. Now, granted,
- 11:40Speaker 1: we can't expect Josh Geddy to be a fifty percent
- 11:42Speaker 1: three point shooter. I don't even know if we can
- 11:44Speaker 1: expect him to be a thirty eight percent three point
- 11:46Speaker 1: shooter when it's all said and done. But he's been
- 11:49Speaker 1: playing phenomenal hoops. And the question is how much of
- 11:52Speaker 1: March basketball can you really trust? Since I am a
- 11:54Speaker 1: fan of this team, I'm trusting the whole thing. Damn it.
- 11:57Speaker 1: It's all real to me. But you have to figure
- 12:01Speaker 1: out how much of that do you really trust? And
- 12:03Speaker 1: he's gonna go into the market, right and he's gonna
- 12:05Speaker 1: want market value, and market value right now is twenty
- 12:07Speaker 1: five to thirty million dollars for a starting point guard.
- 12:10Speaker 1: I'm at the point in time where I'm like, give
- 12:12Speaker 1: him the money. And I can't say that I expected
- 12:15Speaker 1: that to be the case when we first made the trade. Now,
- 12:18Speaker 1: going back to the original trade and to clear some
- 12:21Speaker 1: things up, me saying that I was wrong about the
- 12:23Speaker 1: Josh Getty trade doesn't mean that OKAC didn't get what
- 12:26Speaker 1: they want. I think Oka See still walked out feeling amazing,
- 12:29Speaker 1: and they should still feel amazing. Where I don't think
- 12:31Speaker 1: Alex carusso classify or hits the criteria criteria to make
- 12:37Speaker 1: an All defensive team this year. I could be wrong there,
- 12:39Speaker 1: but I don't think he hits the criteria, but he
- 12:41Speaker 1: is still, by every metric and every piece of eye test,
- 12:44Speaker 1: one of the best defensive players in all of basketball.
- 12:47Speaker 1: So I think, not even a year out, we're talking
- 12:50Speaker 1: six months, eight months out since the trade has happened,
- 12:52Speaker 1: it seems like a good old win win scenario, where
- 12:55Speaker 1: that did not feel like the case when it originally happened.
- 12:57Speaker 1: I had dropped the video twenty four hours after trade,
- 13:00Speaker 1: and I was way more optimistic about it. But even
- 13:02Speaker 1: that level of optimism wasn't me thinking that Josh Getty
- 13:05Speaker 1: was going to make this amount of money and might
- 13:08Speaker 1: have the ceiling of a real All Star. That was wrong.
- 13:11Speaker 1: And that's so great, man, that's so great to have
- 13:13Speaker 1: that feeling. I mentioned it before that like I have
- 13:17Speaker 1: completely transitioned to being a pot B Pot two type
- 13:20Speaker 1: of viewer. For the Bulls or I'm actively rooting for
- 13:23Speaker 1: them to win every single game. I'm not thinking about
- 13:25Speaker 1: lottery odds, even though that probably is the best interest
- 13:28Speaker 1: for the organization. I'm not thinking about lottery odds because
- 13:31Speaker 1: this team is too damn fun for me to ask
- 13:34Speaker 1: them to do what the Raptors are doing. The Raptors
- 13:36Speaker 1: are sitting there starting players in the fourth quarter. I
- 13:39Speaker 1: can't ask them to do that. Man, our starters, our
- 13:41Speaker 1: guys are Kobe White's or Zach Lavine's. Ar Madis bozellousis
- 13:44Speaker 1: our Dalen Terry's, our Patrick Williams, who are a big
- 13:47Speaker 1: shot yesterday. I would rather just let them hoop and
- 13:49Speaker 1: if we win, we win. If we don't, we don't, whatever, whatever.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And right now, the Bulls have one of the easiest
- 13:54Speaker 1: schedules left in basketball. They have one of the easiest
- 13:57Speaker 1: schedules left in basketball. And look at this your game
- 14:00Speaker 1: to have behind your Orlando Magic, what the heck like
- 14:04Speaker 1: them taking the eight seed is realistic? What I put
- 14:07Speaker 1: money on it? Probably not because the Orlando Magic have
- 14:11Speaker 1: looked better over the last five games versus you know
- 14:14Speaker 1: what they did seven games ago. But it's in play
- 14:19Speaker 1: like a five hundred season is kind of in play.
- 14:21Speaker 1: With eleven games left, can the Bulls win seven of eleven?
- 14:25Speaker 1: That's basically what they just did. And I'm telling you
- 14:27Speaker 1: that these games they have coming up are some of
- 14:30Speaker 1: these are against genuine teams that are not trying to win.
- 14:32Speaker 1: So they got Dallas tomorrow and Dallas is they're still competing,
- 14:36Speaker 1: especially with Anthony Davis being back. We have OKC that
- 14:40Speaker 1: ain't gonna be a good win or maybe it is, No,
- 14:41Speaker 1: it's not. Then they have the Raptors, the Blazers, who
- 14:45Speaker 1: are a good team, but we we're on the same
- 14:48Speaker 1: level of team as them. We have the Hornets, then
- 14:51Speaker 1: we have the don't think about the Calves. But then
- 14:53Speaker 1: we got Miami, and then we got Washington, and then
- 14:55Speaker 1: we got Philly. They in theory, could win seven of
- 14:58Speaker 1: those games. Am I tripping? I don't know. Maybe I'm driving,
- 15:00Speaker 1: Maybe I'm driven. Last time he talked with the Bulls,
- 15:02Speaker 1: I was mentioning how them being a young, exciting team
- 15:06Speaker 1: is different than like a Magic who did it last
- 15:08Speaker 1: year or Pistons who did it this year, because those
- 15:11Speaker 1: two teams have players that you expect to make an
- 15:13Speaker 1: All NBA appearance. One day. Kay Cunningham might make an
- 15:16Speaker 1: All NBA appearance this season, and I still do believe that.
- 15:20Speaker 1: But who am I to put a ceiling on anybody?
- 15:23Speaker 1: You know, Josh Gatty is still the third youngest player
- 15:25Speaker 1: on the entire Bulls team, even though he's in year four,
- 15:27Speaker 1: year five. That not even makes sense to me. CO mean,
