Year 3 of the Bulls rebuild, and the body blows keep coming.
Injuries, bad losses, disappointing play, so of course the organization was hoping Thursday would give them a small win.
Not on the court, the team was idle and enjoying some R&R in Brooklyn. No, this was a win that would have at least justified the roster development going in the right direction.
That’s what Zach LaVine making the All-Star Team as a reserve would have meant.
Instead, more disappointment in a season running out of room in that drawer.
The reserve teams were announced – as voted on by the coaches – and LaVine was on the outside looking in, even with the Feb 14-16 festivities taking place in Chicago, his own backyard.
