They’ve survived so far without them during this stretch. But it really feels like this crunch time window against the Pacers is where the Bulls miss the defensive presence of Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso most. Pacers are getting anything they want — and offensive rebounds. – 5:21 PM

I said this last night in the media workroom after the game: I miss watching Lonzo Ball play. – 12:57 PM
