The Chicago Bulls finished their preseason with a middling 3-4 record, tallying a loss to Dwight Howard and the new-look Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night.

Let’s unpack the positives and negatives of last night’s 97-81 preseason defeat for the Chicago Bulls at the hands of the latest incarnation of Mike Budenholzer’s Atlanta Hawks, at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

Omaha, let’s not forget, is home to Creighton University, whose basketball team is coached by Greg McDermott. Oh, right, there’s also this — the Jays’ two most famous NBA players just happened to be suiting up on opposing benches last night.

How’d they do, ask those of you watching the Cubs game (which, to be fair, was all of us — I’m catching up thanks to the wonders of League Pass archiving)?

Read on, dear friends.
