Bulls' Coby White: No 'Nah', We Still Got This
In a candid post-game interview, Bulls guard Coby White gave his unmistakable answer when asked if he thinks the current team has enough talent to stay on track. "You ain't never gonna get me to say, nah," he said with a chuckle, setting the tone for his confident response.
White's optimism is well-justified, considering the Bulls have already proven their mettle by beating top teams this season. Despite the recent fourth-quarter meltdown against the Pacers, which extended their losing streak to three games, White remains convinced that his team can still make a push for sixth place in the standings โ currently two or three games out.
"I think we're like two or three games out of sixth, so we're still in the hunt," he emphasized. "We've just got to keep competing." This mindset is evident in his love for playing with his teammates and laying it all on the line every night, even when things don't go their way.
Wednesday's 113-110 loss to Indiana will undoubtedly leave a sour taste, but White refuses to dwell on it. The Bulls have already faced top opponents this season and should not be underestimated. Coach Billy Donovan shares his respect for Indiana's talented trio of Pascal Siakam, Jay Huff, and Andrew Nembhard, who were all part of the NBA Finals last year.
For White, the key is learning from mistakes and figuring out how to improve in crucial situations like his attempted game-winning layup against Nesmith. As the Bulls head into a grueling stretch with back-to-back games against the Heat, White's confidence will be put to the test once again. Can he rally his team to stay on track? Only time will tell.
The Bulls' journey is far from over, and White's unwavering optimism might just be the spark they need to reignite their season. As he said himself, "You learn from it and figure out what I can do better in that situation again." It's a mantra that could potentially propel his team back into contention โ for now, at least.
