Dwyane Wade Saturday stayed home to rest. His teammates went to Dallas, but this is a unified, one-for-all, all-for one Bulls team. So perhaps in support they also decided to take it easy as well. And so returned the multiple personality Bulls. Friday in the victory over defending champion Cleveland that personality was much more appealing.
Against the NBA’s worst team Saturday, the Bulls were dominated from start to finish, outhustled, outmuscled and outshot in an outhouse of a game, a 107-82 Mavericks victory.
Look, they are trying, and they are as baffled, and it is still the first quarter of the season with a team filled with new faces and roles.
