I don’t know about the lot of you, but this here blog declared the season over already. Not swayed by the 3 game win streak, and not swayed by another crushing loss to an undermanned opponent.
This team won’t be consistently good because the players aren’t consistently good. I saw last night’s team partner post-game show sort of imply that this is DeMar DeRozan’s fault for making the Bulls offense too isolation heavy.
To give some credit first on this line of analysis: yes DeMar is poor defensively, and was playing much of the 4th quarter with 5 fouls which made him even worse.
