Almost half the NBA is under our belts, yet the Bulls and Raptors have yet to meet. That scheduling quirk ends tonight in Chicago.
The Bulls have taken over the unwanted title from Sacramento of Team Turmoil. To the surprise of no one at all, uncoachable point guard Rajon Rondo has been battling with coach Fred Hoiberg, and has been benched as a result (or as a cause of the dispute, depending on whom you believe).
The triumphant return of Dwyane Wade to his home town has not been the happy story Bulls fans hoped for. He’s been fine, averaging over 18 points per game, but several young players who were expected to step forward haven’t.
