CLEVELAND – Billy Donovan seldom walks on the side of being irrational.
That doesn’t mean the Bulls coach isn’t counting on sleepless nights and some angry moments after losses this season. After all, he is a coach.
But he also knows there’s a fine line between expectation and what’s realistic with this roster.
What he won’t accept? What he got in the first 90 seconds of Tuesday’s preseason opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
An Evan Mobley 1-footer to start the game, a Donovan Mitchell three-pointer in Zach LaVine’s face, and then another Micthell three for the 8-0 opening-round flurry.
