The Bulls and Dorian Gray


I don’t know he did it, but Jerry Reinsdorf has a Dorian Gray dynamic working between his two rebuilding teams.  The better the White Sox look, the worse the Bulls get.  They sure stunk on Sunday.

The visitors from Chicago actually led Toronto by three at the half.  Now do the math to figure out how much the Bulls were outscored by the Raptors in the second half to lose by a score of 129-102.  According to the Sun-Times, guard Zach LaVine was not happy with coach Jim Boylen calling a timeout with just over a minute left in the game.  Boylen said afterwards he wanted to call a play for one of the subs in order to help his development.

“If I can endure the last minute, the last timeout and coach my team, I think the other team [not to mention Bulls’ players] can, too,” said Sphynx Boylen.  Yo, Coach.  The other team could care less what you do in the last sixty or so seconds of a game they’re going to win.  The question is, can your own players endure you as coach?

For an answer, just look at the team record of 19-33.
