It’s been a rough season for the Chicago Bulls. There’s been drama surrounding veteran leaders Jimmy Butler and newly-signed Dwyane Wade. There’s been constant rumors surrounding the job security of coach Fred Hoiberg. The team has even been booed off the court by their home fans.
And last night in Minnesota, they momentarily forgot how to play basketball.
Here’s the Bulls attempting a 4-on-1 fast break. Four on one!!! And not only do they not score, they somehow manage to turn the ball over and not even get a shot off. Michael Carter-Williams leads the “fast break” with what looks to be a jumping nothing right into the one and only defender. Maybe he’s still stuck in tank mode from his time with the 76ers…
Fred Hoiberg’s face really says it all, doesn’t it?
As you can imagine from the above clip, the Bulls got blown out by the Timberwolves, losing 117-89. The Bulls have lost their last three games by an average of 25.6 points per game. And yet, somehow they’re still holding on in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, tied for 7th place with the Detroit Pistons and 1.5 games ahead of the Charlotte Hornets. Judging by how they’ve played in the past week, don’t expect that to last for too long.
