Look Out Below

This is how bad the Bulls are right now. The four-win Pacers beat them last Saturday, then lost their next two games, which brought them to the United Center last night. End of losing streak, 120-105. Meanwhile, the Bulls have lost six in a row. If Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis are the future, they can’t cough up the ball like they did, five turnovers for Giddey, four for Buzelis. Giddey got himself a nice $100 million contract extension in the offseason. Let’s just say nine points on the night don’t erase those turnovers or justify that contract. Yes, the Bulls are injured all of a sudden—Ayo Dosunmu, Kevin Hherter, Tre Jones, Issac Okoro, Jalen Smith, plus Coby White’s calf is keeping him on restricted minutes. Maybe everyone comes back, and they dig themselves out of their hole. That still doesn’t explain the play of Giddey and Buzelis. Go, Bears.
