Given the increase in expectations for the Chicago Bulls this season, the fact that they’re out of the playoff picture so fast is very disappointing. The Bulls were commonly mentioned as an under the radar playoff team that could come out of the Eastern Conference this season. But that is a very far fetched expectation looking back that was pretty foolish.
The Bulls definitely had the talent to put it all together and at least make a run at a seven or eight seed in the East this year. But the roster construction isn’t up to par, which is largely the fault of the front office and coaching staff (but we’ll get more into that later).
