The problems with this Bulls team are obvious.
Billy Donovan’s focus?
The solutions.
That’s where it gets a bit more complicated for the coach.
The last two games alone have been reminders of the flaws within the core group. Blowing a 23-point lead to San Antonio on Wednesday, and then following that up in Denver on Friday night, up 14 with eight minutes left, only to watch the slow crumble happen yet again.
That’s why Donovan was as emotional as he’s been both during and after a loss. The “self-fulfilling prophesy’’ – as Donovan calls it – of losing games was prevalent throughout the first half of the season, and obviously doesn’t seem to be going anywhere now that the second half is underway.
