It’s being talked about daily, preached ad nauseam by coach Billy Donovan and his staff, including during the Monday morning shootaround.

Yet, there the Bulls players were once again, starting a game with little urgency, grabbing the shovels, finding some soft dirt, and digging a huge hole to then try and climb out of.

A blueprint that keeps happening and one that is not sustainable if this team wants to accomplish anything that resembles success. Evident by the 135-126 loss to Utah at the United Center, maybe they don’t.
