It’s not exactly a soft landing into the 2023-24 NBA campaign.
Bulls coach Billy Donovan took note of that as soon as the regular-season schedule was announced.
Not only are there four back-to-backs scheduled through the first 14 games, but as Donovan pointed out on Thursday, location is everything.
The back half of the first three back-to-backs are all on the road – Detroit, Denver, Milwaukee – and the one home game is against Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.
