Two key metrics suggest the Bulls are a real contender to battle among the best in the Eastern Conference going forward.
The NBA isn't always about super teams, especially this season with something of a superstar diaspora, LeBron in LA, Curry in San Francisco, Durant in Brooklyn, MVP candidates like Embiid, Jokic and Luka without their partners and just trying to keep their teams in the top eight in the conference. Kyrie with no shot, Ben Simmons dreaming of other venues and Beal and Dame finding things aren't the same.
The NBA is cookin', but it's looking in many places more like a standings upside down cake.
