As routine as embarrassing losses have come for the Bulls this season, just as routine has been Jim Boylen being very much not embarrassed by any of it. After the Blazers home loss Boylen pretty much threw his hands up to the basketball gods for why ‘spirit’ didn’t make the ball go in the hoop.
After the following game was even worse, he didn’t even offer up that minimum of an excuse. Concluding with this garbage:
there’s no shame in this game tonight. We played hard and we competed and we battled and we’re gonna do the same thing, we’re gonna practice tomorrow, we’re gonna have some turkey and we’re gonna play Friday… This is not the defining moment of our season.
