Overall

The Bulls’ 2018-19 season left little to be happy about. They played horribly for nearly the entire season, they fired their head coach in one of the more head-scratching moments of the season, they lost a home game by 56 (56!) points, they lost enough games to be one of the worst teams in the league, but not enough games to have the highest possible odds at winning the draft lottery, and there was nearly a mutiny before Christmas.

However, despite all of the bad, there was still some good.

The front office made some wise decisions, Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen came into their own as players, Wendell Carter Jr. looks like a promising youngster and they still look like they’re in a better position than the Cavs, Knicks and Suns.

The 2018-19 season was definitely not the best season to be a Bulls fan, but at least the future is bright, right?

Right?

…right?
