Nikola Vucevic was well aware of that, as the big man was preparing to enter his fourth-career postseason visit, but his first with the Bulls.
This latest spring swoon started on April 2 against Miami, and lasted four games – all four losses – concluding with a blowout loss to the Hornets in which Vucevic went just 2-for-6 for six points.
One game that stood out, however, was the last meeting with Milwaukee on April 5, in which Vucevic had plenty of good looks, but very few makes, going 3-for-19 from the field and grabbing just six rebounds.
