Bulls continue dangerous trend of slow starts with no end in sight

The Bulls continued a very dangerous formula on Monday, digging themselves into another large deficit early on, only hoping to claw out of it late.

Identifying the issue has been easy.

The players know it, the coaching staff knows it. Really anyone with a pulse that’s watched a Bulls game this season was very aware of the problem.

Fixing it?

There’s the rub.

Digging a big first-half hole only to have to claw and scratch their way out of the deficit might be good reality television like the 21-point comeback against Miami on Saturday, but it’s not a sustainable way to play at the NBA level if winning is the goal.
