I loved seeing this bit of actual journalism out there surrounding the Bulls and their next John-Paxson-coach-firing Jim Boylen.
It’s one thing to relay whatever Boylen says regarding his retrograde offensive philosophies, it’s another to push back with skepticism, and yet a step further to actually research it and declare it incorrect, which Stephen Noh of The Athletic did here:
Like most of Boylen’s explanations, the idea that the Bulls need to play through Lopez to improve their transition defense does not hold true to even the slightest amount of scrutiny.
