The Chicago Bulls wouldn’t be one of the teams out of the Eastern Conference next season that many expect to be a real threat as a playoff contender. They would have to take a pretty massive leap up the standings in the East to reach that point. The Bulls finished up the 2019-20 season with a record of 22-43, which was good for 11th place in the final Eastern Conference standings.
That less than stellar record the Bulls posted during the shortened 2019-20 version of their regular season largely led to the firing of now former head coach Jim Boylen.
