Nobody cares that the Bulls beat the Pistons over the weekend. We know they can beat bad teams. We know they can’t beat good teams. It is pretty remarkable how long this has been going on, one of the similarities between Boylen and Donovan eras. Surely the Donovan version is more competitive and aesthetically pleasing, but the ultimate results have been similar.
The thing I continue to be amazed by is that actually good teams have bad trip-up losses all the time in the NBA regular season. And the Bulls haven’t run into one of those circumstances in, like, two seasons?
