Mile High NUGGETS @ West Side Story Report BULLS

PLAYBOOK

Let's get right to the Bulls Game Plan of Attack vs the Nuggets:

PG Ty Lawson...one of the Fastest rim to rim in the Logo as he is the "One Man Fast Break" on most night. He is the Orchestrator of the Nuggets Doug Moe/George Karl "Organized Chaos" Offense. The Bulls must stay in front of him and keep him out of the Paint as well as a burden in Transition.

23 Feet 9 Inches....the Bulls must close out and run these players off the Arc...SF Danillo Gallanari, SF Wilson Chandler (DePaul), Iggy of Mile High (Springfield, Ill Lanphier HS), Ty Lawson, and Corey Brewer.

Glass Work/Shot Clock Drops...Keep Kenneth the "MANimal" Faried and Javale McGhee off the Glass and also from Taking the Elevator...Dunks or aka "Shot Clock Drops". The Bulls will need maximum effort on the Glass.

Transition and Live Turnovers...the Bulls must have sound Transition D and then run the Nuggets off the Arc in Transition their Spot Up Shooters namely Chandler and Gallanari. If the Bulls turn the Orange over (via Live Turnover..steals and bad passes) the Nuggets will immediately turn it the other way for an easy Splash Play or Lay up. Take care of the Orange Bulls.

Bulls Front Court...Luol, Jo Knows, and C-Booz 5 must get big numbers and dominate the Glass and be efficient in the half court sets. The Nuggets love to run and the Bulls must make them execute in the half court.

The Bulls are right in the middle of getting home court advantage or missing the Playoffs real talk. The Nuggets are right in the middle of getting home court advantage and running down Lob City and the Grind House. All games from here on out are huge for both.
