Post All-Star Weekend, Bulls guard Zach LaVine now wants a playoff push

As bad as it’s looked from the outside over this All-Star Weekend, Zach LaVine is still all in on being a Bull.

According to several sources, LaVine was doing his recruiting due diligence the last few days – a rite of passage for any player considered the face of his franchise, was staying upbeat about his current roster, and was still talking postseason for a team sitting at 19-36 and five games back of the No. 8 seed.

“I mean, if you’re not confident in yourself or your team, you already lost the battle,’’ LaVine said of starting a playoff push with 27 games left.
