Things aren’t going well for the Chicago Bulls. After starting the season 6-1, they’ve gone 3-8 since. While they’ve pulled off a few surprising wins—like a victory over the Denver Nuggets—they’ve also fallen to struggling teams such as the injury-ravaged Detroit Pistons, the Utah Jazz, and the two-win New Orleans Pelicans.
Yet, aside from those struggling squads, the Bulls have faced a gauntlet of opponents. They’ve already played the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons twice, the New York Knicks twice, and tough matchups against the Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, and Miami Heat.
Health and schedule could spark turnaround
Things should improve for the Bulls, as their next five opponents have a combined record of just 22-68.
