The Chicago Bulls have nothing at stake this season and yet they remain the most infuriating team in basketball outside Sacramento. They had virtually no chance of contending for a title this season; LeBron James cruelly lords over the Eastern Conference like a surly Prohibition-era bouncer who no longer recognizes the password "Derrick Rose," and the Western Conference superpowers loom on the horizon like mythical creatures from medieval map. But they have had reasons to hope for a good season. Jimmy Butler has improbably blossomed into an All-Star. After years in the wilderness, Pau Gasol has become a stalwart.
