The Chicago Bulls might be fooling everyone. Is that such a bad thing? Through four games, the Bulls remain undefeated (seriously) and their No. 5 net rating is pretty exciting for fans who have gotten used to thoroughly unstimulating basketball recently.
There are reasons to believe some of this success is unsustainable, yes. For instance, the Bulls' opponents have shot 29.2%, 12.5%, 34.4%, and 25% from the 3-point line. Either the Bulls have the greatest perimeter defense of all time — and watching the games shows that's likely not the case — or they've gotten unusually lucky, and eventually teams will start hitting shots against them.
