The loss to the Lakers on Wednesday came at a bad time for the Bulls, and could have hampered their chances to move up in the seedings.

Last season, Tristan Thompson called it the “blueprint.’’

Sounding part NBA analyst, part conspiracy theorist, the backup center that the Bulls rented for the second half of the 2021-22 campaign, was convinced that Memphis had figured out the best way to attack the Bulls defensively during a Feb. 26 win, putting it out on film for all to see.

More than a year later, it’s really not a blueprint as much as just common sense.
