Bulls coach Billy Donovan has been trying to get his core group to play with sustained physicality throughout games, but it’s a message that remained unheard.

NEW YORK – A simple follow-up question turned into a three-minutes-and-change therapy session for Bulls coach Billy Donovan.

Then again, could you blame him?

Donovan has been begging his team to understand the importance of the start of the game and establishing a mindset. Letting the other team know that make or miss shots, they were going to feel the Bulls.

And while he would never come out and call the group soft, he’s been trying to get the core to understand physicality and how it would change their place in the standings.
