WASHINGTON – The headphones were in his ears, the dental floss pick was actively going between his teeth as he listened to the question.
For a guy that had been dealing with an ailing quadriceps the last few weeks, DeMar DeRozan appeared to not have a care in the world.
Not exactly the normal body language for an NBA All-Star on an underachieving team at the halfway point of the season.
Then again, DeRozan’s a student of the game.
He knows what this Bulls roster has done so far in big-game moments, he’s well aware of what’s left in front of them.
