Chicago Bulls vs. Philadelphia 76ers Outlook: Here we go again

Trying to figure out who will take the floor in Chicago

As I’m sure everyone has noticed, there is very little consistency in both who Fred Hoiberg plays and the order in which they are substituted. To be fair, the front office hasn’t exactly granted Fred a useful roster, but it’s fascinating how often rotations are changed.

For example, Michael Carter-Williams, after playing around 20 minutes per game for the last month, has been sat for the last several games.

Fred’s made some brilliant decisions, like swapping Felicio for Bobby Portis at backup center, but there’s still a plenty to puzzle over.

With Butler and Wade back in the starting lineup with Jerian Grant, Taj Gibson and Lopez, Doug McDermott and Paul Zipser will come off the bench again. The second unit has been pretty good over the last stretch, with Rajon Rondo finding shooters and cutters for clean shots.

I’m assuming MCW’s streak of DNP-CDs will continue, and Portis might not find the floor, assuming the 76ers keep it close.

A Bulls win is more than likely, I suppose. Chicago won it’s last game against the Sixers handily, and Philadelphia is still a pretty bad basketball team, especially without Embiid. That being said, we know nothing but inconsistency. At least we can appreciate the Bulls’ ability to keep us on our toes.
