CHICAGO -- Arturas Karnisovas insisted he has a plan to lift the Chicago Bulls after years of mediocrity. The team's top basketball executive also had a request.
"I'm asking for fans' patience," he said Thursday, a day after a season-ending loss to Miami. "Because we're in the first year of that transition. I thought the way we finished the year showed some promise. It's hard to win games in this league."
The Bulls have just one playoff appearance in the five seasons since Karnisovas was hired as executive vice president of basketball operations.
