DeMar DeRozan knows that very little has gone his team’s way this season, but at the same time no one was going to feel sorry for them. They now have 27 games to become a problem for the rest of the East.

DeMar DeRozan had just one request for himself and his teammates over the all-star break.

“Breathe a little,” the Bulls veteran said, knowing what was in front of them starting this Thursday.

Made sense.

After all, DeRozan was well aware of what expectations were back in fall camp in Nashville, and what reality has now become in yet another underachieving season for the organization.
