Josh Giddey: At start of season, I felt like I couldn’t get going and I was trying to hard to fit in and please everybody. Post-trade-deadline, I started to play freely and be me. We as a team found another gear post-deadline. – 11:24 AM

1H thoughts:
-Bulls had no one to guard Herro
-Giddey was way worse than his box score. Had some nice drives but the Heat aren’t guarding him at all. Giving him a huge cushion even when he has the ball
-Heat’s propensity to blow leads gives the Bulls a small chance still – 8:44 PM

One of the things Giddey has done well is to find pockets of space when teams are ignoring him off ball. Did a lot this when these teams met in previous matchups. pic.x.com/Z0FmHfLHIk – 8:17 PM

Josh Giddey leads the Bulls in scoring with 13 of their 25 points.
He’s also been nothing short of a liability on nearly every defensive rotation.
Wrote yesterday about how this week is a crucial “prove it” moment in his young career. chicagotribune.com/2025/04/15/chi… – 8:13 PM

Giddey had some nice layups in his first stint but also some rough defensive possessions. Strengths and warts on full display early. pic.x.com/aH3acG8vat – 8:06 PM

More on this storyline
KC Johnson: Bulls exec VP Artūras Karnišovas: I wouldn’t put any limitations on this roster and the way Josh Giddey and Coby White are playing. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve. -via Twitter @KCJHoop / April 17, 2025
No one needed an 83rd game to know these Bulls, who went 39-43 in the regular season, aren’t a playoff team. In the end, a competitive March and April, when half the league is on cruise control, meant nothing. The only postseason experience the young Bulls players got was how to deal with getting your butts kicked in front of your frustrated fans. “We just got to come ready in the summer,” Bulls guard Coby White said. “We’ve got to start preventing this. We’ve got to learn from it and not put ourselves in this situation.” -via New York Times / April 17, 2025
