Since the conclusion of the All-Star Break, things have not been going well at all for first-year head coach Billy Donovan and this Chicago Bulls team. In a spot where the Bulls had a nice opportunity to knock off two shorthanded (but otherwise playoff caliber) teams in the Eastern Conference at the outset of the second half of the regular season schedule, they really laid an egg. After the Bulls last two losses, they now hold a record of 16-20.
Those aforementioned two losses for the Bulls since the end of the All-Star Break came at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat.
