Embarrassment level

This is my favorite section. How embarrassing the Bulls were this season can be answered with one fairly simple question: When you have to tell someone your favorite team is the Bulls, how do you respond?

Do you puff out your chest and scream it at the top of your lungs? Probably not, because nobody’s that proud to be a Bulls fan right now. Also, that would be kind of weird.

Do you look away and say it quietly? Do you tell people it doesn’t matter who your favorite team is? Do you have to preface it by saying you’re from Chicago?

The Bulls lost a game this season by a franchise-worst 56-point margin (yes, this was a home game for the Bulls), they got booed off the United Center floor more than once and there was a near mutiny.

Those are enough embarrassing moments to cover a decade, let alone a season. And that’s not even counting all of the standard-issue double-digit losses.

So how good were the Bulls at not being an embarrassment to their fans this season?

Grade: F
