It’s been such a joy watching the Bulls these last few games. Not because they’re playing particularly well, but actually the opposite: they’re not playing that well, but winning anyway. Because they’re a very good team with true stars that can close games. It’s so goddamned calming!
These back-to-back wins reminded me of the inverse of so many Boylen-era games, where the Bulls ‘deserved’ to win but blew it to more capable teams. The home loss to a Damian Lillard bomb comes to mind, specifically.
So while I can say the Bulls haven’t played particularly well in these last few games, I’m not altogether worried about it.
