Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks: 3 Takeaways from Thursday’s Loss

The Chicago Bulls looked nothing like the usual #TNTBulls we see on national television on Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Here’s three takeaways from the loss.

Thursday night might not have been the worst loss of the season for the Chicago Bulls, but in terms of effort, you could make the argument that the loss was their poorest performance in 25 games this year.

The Bulls were flat out of the gate and it carried on throughout the night in the forms of getting beat in transition, allowing easy drives to the basket, turning the ball over constantly and establishing no sense of rhythm in the 108-97 loss.

(Don’t let the score fool you. It wasn’t that close.)

It was quite simply a pathetic effort from the Bulls. (More on that in a second.) Other than a 21-6 run late in the ballgame when the Bucks called the dogs off for the most part, the Bulls were never in this game.

Having said all of that, here’s three takeaways from the loss on Thursday night, including the most interesting rotation tweak of the season (so far).
