Surprise, surprise, the Bulls find themselves in uphill must-win climb

With just 17 regular-season games left and needing a lot of things to go right just to make the play-in tournament, veteran Nikola Vucevic admittedly was surprised the Bulls are currently in this position.

Every game has to be treated like a must-win.

All 17 of them left against the likes of Milwaukee, Denver, Sacramento and Philadelphia, to name a few.

And even then, the Bulls will need some help.

Indiana has to remain in the rearview mirror, while either Toronto or Washington has to stumble. A lot of moving pieces, and that’s just for the Bulls to get in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament.
