The loss to the Lakers on Wednesday came at a bad time for the Bulls, and could have hampered their chances to move up in the seedings.

Last season, Tristan Thompson called it the blueprint.

Sounding part-NBA analyst, part-conspiracy theorist, the backup center the Bulls rented for the second half of the 2021-22 season was convinced that the Grizzlies had figured out the best way to attack the Bulls’ offense during their 116-110 victory on Feb. 26, 2022, putting it on film for all to see.

More than a year later, it’s really not a blueprint as much as common sense.
