What exactly the Bulls’ executive vice president of basketball operations is seeing from up there? Anyone’s guess.
Is Karnisovas seeing a team that is a combined 9-2 against Eastern Conference powerhouses Miami, Boston, Brooklyn, Milwaukee, and now Philadelphia after Friday’s 126-112 win at the Wells Fargo Center? Or is he seeing a team that can get up and square off against the big boys, but shows no urgency against lesser competition?
Is he seeing a team that can reach the second round of the playoffs – the bar that Karnisovas set for this team in the fall?
