Shared blueprint is what’s dooming the Bulls? So says Tristan Thompson

PHILADELPHIA – Tristan Thompson has only been a Bull for a few weeks, but he definitely brings an interesting perspective.

It’s debatable on how accurate the big man was, but it’s definitely interesting.

After the 15-point loss to Philadelphia on Monday, Thompson was discussing the current season-high five-game losing streak the team was crawling through. According to the veteran center, there’s a defensive blueprint going around on how to stop the Bulls, and everyone seems to be studying it.

“I’m making an assumption, but I think how well this team has started off compared to last season, I think people – not our team, I don’t think anyone in our locker room, anyone on our staff is panicking – you’ve got to understand that when you come out that hot in the first half of the season, teams are going to start prepping for you differently,’’ Thompson said.
