I’m not saying the Bulls can’t win three consecutive games and move past the Bucks in the NBA playoffs, but . . .
Let me vent a little about the playoffs in general, given that I’m in a foul humor and what else can anybody say about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 15-foot pivot-step dunk?
• First, what is wrong with the Bulls?
This embarrassing collapse — losing by a combined 54 points in Games 3 and 4 at home — can’t all be blamed on the absence of injured guard Lonzo Ball.
And even if Ball is so important to the team that it can’t function without him, then — hello, management — where is a suitable replacement?
