February 16, 2022: Mid Range Money

posted in: Bulls | 0

We came up with this nickname for DeMar Derozan pretty early on this year. Every time he raises up from his spots, we wonder if the opponent got the memo; get ready for that first deposit. Mid Range Money baby!!!

232 points in his last 6 games. First Bull since MJ to score 35 points in 6 straight games. First player to score 35 per game AND shoot 50% since Wilt. Dude is simply carrying us right now. With all the injuries the Bulls have sustained, and to STILL be tied for 1st in the East thus far, 58 games in… there have been a lot of great stories, contributions, and reasons why the Bulls are where they are, but for THE biggest reason, look no further than DD.

Even my son knew early on where this was going. He asked for a DD jersey for Christmas. My brother in law came through with an autographed red Bulls DD jersey, that my son wears for every game. He wore it to the UC when we went to the game. He wore it to school for “wear red” day. He said today in the car ride to school: DD is one of the best Bulls ever. I said, pump the brakes son. He has been tremendous, in his first 58 games as a Bull, but… it’s only been 58 games. It’s been an absolutely amazing 58 games, don’t get me wrong, but I’m not going to forget about the first 50+ years of Bulls basketball, including oh yeah, a dynasty, and a pretty damn good other run under Thibs, and that’s not even mentioning the days of Sloan, Van Lier, Gilmore. DD is on his way though… I can’t remember if I gave him top 10 or 20 at this point, but point is, it’s early…

Kamagra jelly, soft tablets and effervescent are easy to use and don’t cause any https://www.supplementprofessors.com/medicare_supplements/ purchase viagra uk issues, as the tablet does.

It’s not too early in the season though. 58 games in already?!?! I thought the All Star break was at the halfway point… Anyways, there is a reason why DD was the leading vote getter in the East; he deserved every single one of those votes, including 10 from my son in his 2 weeks of voting. The MVP talk has been gaining some steam too, with this recent string of great performances; again, rightfully so. Where would the Bulls be without him? Nothing against Zach, or the other guys on this greatly improved roster this year, but we certainly wouldn’t be atop the East without him. Playoff team, maybe; one of the best in the East, no way. And to think, so many folks thought this was a horrible offseason pickup… As they say, receipts…

But I’m not about that… After witnessing a dynasty, lead by the best to ever lace them up, I’m about one thing: rings. DD has said the same; we’re on the same page. We haven’t seen one since MJ retired, but if you’ve been to the House that MJ built this year, you know something special is going on, and when we get 100% healthy (if), the Bulls will be a team that nobody wants to see come playoff time. A big reason for confidence come that time, is the same reason I have confidence at the end of every close game: put the ball in DeMar’s hands and trust. He has rewarded us in a big way thus far. Looking forward to many more of those mid-range deposits, which as we’ve learned this year, is not a completely lost art. You mean we don’t have to shoot 50 treys a game to win? Yes, that’s what I mean. Congrats DD on your most recent streak of greatness; the best is yet to come. Go Bulls!!!
