In what way? Dunn averaged 17 minutes per game last year and played in 78 games. He got the 7th most minutes on the team last year!

I liked what I saw from Dunn in terms of his grit and defense, but he was a disaster on offense. A lot of rookies are. It isn't unusual for them to have much better second years.

Fun stat: Both of those PGs fouled out tonight. How often does that happen 2 PGs foul out the same night in the NBA?

You know who hasn't played for 3 of those games during that streak? Markkanen. That Mirotic guy has been really good. He might be making himself some nice money on a longer term deal and/or driving up a decent price for the Bulls in a possible trade. Portis continues to be productive in his minutes.

Not a great scoring night for John Collins last night. But he still had 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks in only 24 minutes.

Funny how their teams have losing records and we have a winning record. I wonder why that is?

Man, Khris Middleton would look super nice next to Jimmy Butler here. Still just 26 years old. Would Milwaukee have interest in the supposed ceiling of Andrew Wiggins? If they continue to play like they have so far, I wouldn't shut that door.

If I were Thibs, I'd do that deal in a heartbeat, Cam. But it might be next to impossible to work out a deal for Wiggins until next summer because his extension includes a poison pill provision that doesn't expire until June. I don't fully understand it yet, but it sure frustrated my ability to do a Wiggins deal on the ESPN trade machine.
