It was more a reminder than a warning.
Then again, as far as Billy Donovan was concerned, maybe it was both.
After all, in a season in which several stains have been left, a Nov. 1 loss to the Nets in Brooklyn was one of the uglier ones.
Shot poorly, defended even worse, and let a team that on paper just isn’t as talented, feel very good about itself that night.
All of that was made very clear to the Bulls players by their coach.
