The Chicago Bulls inconsistencies have continued following the NBA trade deadline. While their initial losses after their trades could be justified with who they played and the fact that it was a road trip, the Bulls are now dropping games that are simply inexcusable.
With each passing day, they lose another chance to make progress as a group and fans grow more frustrated. Long term there is so much to be excited about and things are certainly headed in the right direction.
Still, the team has enough talent to win games they are losing and Bulls fans just want to see them play good basketball into the NBA playoffs. This season is a stepping stone toward where they want to eventually be.
That doesn’t change the fact that they are losing games they should win. Head coach Billy Donovan is a proven and respected basketball coach and the right man to lead this Bulls team for years to come.
That being said, he has made a few head-scratching moves in recent games at critical moments. Fans should not worry about those head-scratching moves very much because of the known commodity he is.
Things will improve and he deserves to be trusted. He has proven he will get the most out of his teams and eventually he will in Chicago.
This Bulls group is on a running clock because of the limited amount of games remaining, though. I am not suggesting these rotation adjustments are the only way the Bulls can turn things around. There are plenty of reasons to believe Donovan will pull the right strings sooner rather than later.
Still, these three adjustments would instantly lead the Bulls to better play and I will tell you why.
