It’s bleak. Very bleak.
Losing to the Milwaukee Bucks on the back-end of a back-to-back is one thing. Losing to a New Orleans Pelicans team that is 16-20 in their own building is entirely another.
I don’t have any positive things to say right now. Sure, the Pelicans played their butt off, and they are at least a team in the Play-In mix out West. But if the Bulls are trying to build momentum going into the playoffs and end the season on a high note, you simply can’t lose that game.
They've lost 10 of 13.
Unbelievable.

This was supposed to be the start of the last convincing win streak of the season. Five-straight games against teams that sit with a worse win percentage than Chicago. While the team has struggled to take down the league elites, they have at least feasted on those below them in the standings time and again. But now they can’t even beat those teams? I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: This is the time of year when you’re supposed to be playing your best basketball. The Bulls are doing the exact opposite, and it’s extremely discouraging.
