Pau Gasol’s absence was an issue for the Bulls (on the offensive end) in Game 4. Gasol tested the hamstring during Wednesday’s shootaround, but if he can’t go, what’s a solution for the Bulls up front?
Pau Gasol wasn’t brought to Chicago to be a certified rim protector.
The two-time NBA Champion was brought in to help the Bulls build their frontcourt depth and become one of the better offenses in the NBA.
Despite shooting just 6-for-15 in Games 2 and 3, Gasol was a primary reason the Bulls stole Game 1 in Cleveland with a 13-point third quarter to stretch the Bulls lead out to 15 points at one point.
