Earlier this week, it looked like your Chicago Bulls were sinking fast, having lost four straight contests. There was pervasive chatter that a certain $215 million shooting guard was unhappy with his role on the club, and to be fair, so is everyone watching his erratic play. Calls to tear it all down were coming from inside the house.
But now, suddenly, the team is showing (mild) signs of life. The Bulls have won two straight games against similarly “mid” clubs in the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks. If you put the output of the two contests under a microscope, Chicago may have been a bit more lucky than good.
