Life is tumultuous and little is certain. It’s the constantly shifting of reality of the world that make the simple constants of everyday existence such welcome experiences for all humanity. The sun will rise in the east. The ocean waves will forever crash against the beach. The Bulls will beat the Raptors.
Sure is great having Jimmy Butler in the lineup. Butler, who missed two of the last three games after suffering a heal injury in the win against the Thunder, carried the Bulls to victory in 37 minutes of play. The high minute total is not great for a guy nursing a muscle injury, but Fred Hoiberg needed to lean on Butler to end their three game skid and pick up slack for the injured Dwyane Wade, Nikola Mirotic and Paul Zipser.
