The Chicago Bulls lost again on Friday and drop to 23-25 in the aftermath of the organization drama over the past couple of days.

This week has been an absolute laceration of the Chicago Bulls team chemistry.

To cap it at an all-time low, the Bulls dropped yet another game to the Miami Heat on Friday.

As we all know by now, Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler offered some interesting post-game comments after their meltdown loss against the Atlanta Hawks earlier this week. To say the least, this was a pivotal game to watch this season in terms of the on-court body language by the players.

And boy, was it a fun time.

How about this for pregame news:

Paul Zipser and Doug McDermott will start tonight’s game vs. Miami. Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler are available to play as reserves.

Yup, Butler and Wade were scrapped from the starting lineup 90 minutes before tip-off. Should we even be surprised?

Enough of the petty talk. How about Rondo showing up with one of his most efficient games as a Bull?

Check out these three takeaways from Friday’s loss, starting with Rondo’s contributions off the bench.
