Deng has steadily become a reliable crunch-time option. I’ve watched every Bulls game this year and, as of late, Deng is playing excellent defense as well as draining big shots every time the Bulls need a basket. I also think Rose being out and seeing his team come through with a big win against a surging team will allow him to show more trust and confidence in his teammates in big moments. It’ll be interesting to see Rose and Hamilton these last ten games and see how good the Bulls look before the playoffs (they looked dominant at 9-1 when together).
