It is definitely not the year that the Chicago Bulls had hoped for. The team took yet another loss on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, losing 93-78 and worsening their record to 2-10. This loss marked the fourth of their most recent losing streak and put their extended November trip at 1 win and 5 losses – not exactly what the team was hoping for. “After failing to make a basket the final 4 minutes 10 seconds against New York (on Saturday), the Bulls missed seven straight shots and committed three turnovers in a 7:03 fourth-quarter stretch without field goal Sunday. The Raptors, led by Jose Calderon’s 19 points and 14 assists, responded with a 12-2 run to put the game out of reach,” explains press notes.
The Bulls, although a talented team, just can’t seem to pull it together for a win. “I don’t know what you would call it. I don’t know if it’s because we haven’t made shots or aren’t confident down the stretch. I don’t know if we need to do something different down the stretch offensively.” Offensively, defensively or mentally – whatever it may be, the Bulls definitely need to do something different. Chicago currently holds the league-worst record for shooting percentage (38.5 percent) and scoring average (86.5 points) and they finished their game against the Raptors with a 38 percent shooting level. Let’s hope they can pull it together in some sense of the game, or else they are headed for an unimaginably bad season.
