The Bulls starters have looked disjointed through the early stages of the 2022-23 regular season.
Not a real surprise considering it’s been a part-time crew.
The reserves?
That’s been a little different animal.
For the most part the second unit has been intact since the start of camp. By all accounts, a group of angry dogs that have enjoyed running down the first-teamers at every opportunity.
So a first-quarter 19-point deficit against the defending Eastern Conference champions?
No problem.
Thanks to the likes of Goran Dragic, Derrick Jones Jr., and Alex Caruso, the Bulls watched what could have been a nightmare of an evening against the Boston Celtics turn into a 120-102 laugher in favor of the home team.
