It’s not a matter of who the Chicago Bulls can beat the postseason.
It’s a matter of actually making it to the postseason itself.
Without Jimmy Butler, the Bulls are in serious contention of missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2007-08 season. Butler has played in just one game since injuring his left knee on Feb. 5.
Butler returned last Saturday night against Houston after missing a month of action with the left knee sprain. After playing almost 34 minutes, the pain continue to linger in Butler’s knee and he would miss the Bulls’ win on Monday night at home against Milwaukee.
