Is the Bulls defense actually excellent? headlines that end in questions usually mean ‘no’

You may have heard that the Bulls have the best defense in basketball since January first.

That’s an arbitrary date, of course, but a significant amount of games. You could cherry-pick further, and believe in the locker room magic of Goran Dragic (who’s apparently left the team), and look to December 19th after the Bulls gave up one-fiddy to the Timberwolves.

Since then, 32 games, the Bulls are second in defensive rating.

Now we all know that a team that has Nikola Vucevic at center flanked by DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine is going to be terrible.
