The critic doesn’t always live in reality.
Sometimes they choose to rent in perception and false narrative.
That way they can avoid the facts easier, and instead continue to point the finger at a player like Nikola Vucevic.
To say that the Bulls center is often the target of the blame game that’s gone on with the Bulls since the 2021-22 rebuild underachieved, is an understatement.
Zach LaVine catches heat, mostly because of the max contract. Patrick Williams gets chastised for being too passive in Year 5, but when it comes to this current roster it’s Vucevic that often feels like the dog that Bulls fans want to kick.
