Which of the players on the Chicago Bulls roster saw the biggest detriment with Jim Boylen as their head coach this season?
With all the losses mounting for the Chicago Bulls, even out of the All-Star Break, the player frustration was sure to pile up as well. The Bulls had one of their more frustrating losses of the season so far when they fell short by the final score of 124-122 at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Feb. 25. Yet another loss for the Bulls at home at the United Center when the backcourt absolutely went off just further shows how bad it is for this team right now.
After that aforementioned heartbreaking two-point loss at the hands of veteran star point guard Chris Paul and the Thunder, the Bulls moved their record to a pretty bad 20-39 on the season so far. Any prayer that the Bulls had at one time of making a playoff push should pretty much be considered gone now.
However, what is making matters worse is the dynamic between the front office, coaching staff, and the players. The #FireGarPax movement really took off during NBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago. And head coach Jim Boylen is finding even more trouble connecting with his players.

When the Bulls lost to the Thunder on Tuesday night, shooting guard Zach LaVine was spotted yelling some not great words at Boylen. According to a report from ESPN, those words weren’t apparently directed in an aggressive way at Boylen, but this still isn’t a good sign.
Here’s a look into the three players for the Chicago Bulls that are suffering the most from the presence of head coach Jim Boylen in the third year of the rebuild.
