Zach LaVine refutes players-only meeting concern after Game 1, but Bulls still at an inflection point

Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said his players were having a team meeting in the wake of an opening-night loss to the Oklahoma City Thundera 20-point beatdown, it should be said.

But All-Star guard Zach LaVine says it wasn’t some team meeting, not in the sense of how he defines it.

“A team meeting is when guys collectively call themselves in and talk about things,” LaVine told Yahoo Sports recently. “We didn’t have a team meeting, I think it’s a basketball conversation.”

However it’s viewed, it certainly feels like the Bulls are on some level of fragile ground to start the season.
