CHARLOTTE, NC – The Bulls are in a weird space these days.
Defense is still optional far too many times, a seven-win Charlotte team can bring them into a street fight and make them continue to look underwhelming, and then they had a Nikola Vucevic benching to explain after Friday’s 129-126 win over the Hornets.
If this is what “competitive integrity” is supposed to look like, no thanks.
“You obviously want to be out there as a competitor,” Vucevic said of not playing the entire fourth quarter and the last 17 minutes in all.
