The Bulls have been reeling. And sure, that loss to the Kings was bad. And the loss to the Knicks was worse...wait, no, nothing is worse than losing to the Kings.
But they rebounded a bit in beating a (nominal) NBA team like the Wizards, and have done a couple very important things this year:
- racked up lots of early season Ws
- beat the teams they’re directly competing with in the standings
So in all actuality, while the team doesn’t look good on the court to where the first round is worrisome, it’s not a worst-case scenario.
