Are the Bulls serious about winning? Because it seems like they’re just play-in around

Next up for DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and the Bulls: the play-in tournament.

The worst team in the NBA took the court Sunday at the United Center.

No, not the Bulls. The Pistons.

Frankly, it can be kind of hard to tell the difference.

Consider the final four games of the Bulls’ regular season. First, in a matchup with serious implications on play-in-tournament positioning, they got their clocks cleaned by the Trae Young-less Hawks. Next, they were toyed with by the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Bucks. After that, they nearly lost in Dallas despite the fact the Mavs were tanking so hard — to guard a top-10-protected draft pick, play-in be damned — the NBA now is investigating them.
