PHILADELPHIA – Billy Donovon “gets it.”
He made that very clear on Monday, five times in a three-minute answer to be exact.
The Bulls coach understood why many in the Bulls fan base wanted them to lose the game to the 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center in hopes of sinking in the standings and getting closer to winning “Capture the Flagg,” as in Duke’s Cooper Flagg.
One major problem with that: It’s nowhere in Donovan’s DNA to tank games, and the coach said that not one of his bosses has instructed him to coach that way the rest of the season, either.
