Hey, thank you for listening to The Boy. Today, I'm really excited to talk NBA with William Lou and Blake Murphy from SportsNet up in Canada. Welcome to The Boy Guys.

Yo, what's going on? Thanks for having me, big fan of the show, and Blake, I guess you're here too, so that's cool.

Just remember, we're recording this the day before I come on and carry your show for an hour so you and Alex can have a day off the labor intense one hour day show.

Will Lou of course host the Raptor Show always joined by Alex Wong for that. You guys all right, host shows, make videos. You guys do it all in sports.

Then I really love your stuff, so I'm excited to have you on today to discuss a lot starting with the Chicago Bulls. This has been a weird week for the world and for the NBA.

The tunnel players are caught up in protocols, which has derailed what would have been a really cool bulls Raptors matchup on Wednesday night, but let's get started talking about Chicago anyway.

The Bulls are second in the east at 19 and 10 with the six strength off fans, 11th ranked defense, ball and Kuroso have been holding them the fort on D for them.

Levine is maintaining all star production and a player. You guys know very, very well and tomorrow Rosen is having a first team all NBA caliber season.

What I'm wondering about is from the last time we saw him in Toronto to where he is now. He became more of a point guard and less of a score in San Antonio and now in Chicago, he's having this unbelievable overall season.

Blake, what are the differences between the Rosen's game then in Toronto versus now in Chicago?

Yeah, I think there's really something to that kind of layering of skill sets where over to Mars time in Toronto, you have, okay, can you do the thing?

And then it's, can you do the thing and react to how a defense is going to defend that? And then it's anticipating what the defense is going to do so you're a bit ahead.

And then the part where Dermard kind of left off and he was there 2017 2018 when he had that spike in assist percentage was, you know, the kind of ultimate step of that is, can you manipulate a defense?

Can you get them to do what you want them to do and what you're anticipating them to do to open up things for yourself and for others? And I think, you know, San Antonio maybe wasn't the best example of it because, you know, they leaned on them.

Like you said, a lot more as just a pure playmaker, his usage rate came down. He wasn't scoring quite as much.

You know, still a very effective player, but not quite the same level of score that we'd seen in Toronto.

And now what Chicago is doing is they're kind of putting these two things together, right? You have this version of Dermard that is this elite score and that bends defenses with his one on one scoring ability.

And you have this version of Dermard who became basically a pseudo point guard and you're blending those things together now.
