The Bulls have been trying to climb back to .500 and out of the No. 9 spot for quite some time this season. The problem is whenever it gets within reach they again slip.

The Bulls can see the summit.

Heck, just over a week ago they actually dug their high tops into a foothold, pushed themselves up on their tippy toes, almost getting their fingertips to barely brush the edge of it.

Sadly, just out of reach, courtesy of a Saturday afternoon loss to the Clippers in Los Angeles.

A microcosm of the entire 2023-24 season, as well as the anatomy of a mediocre roster.
