What the heck is happening with the Chicago Bulls? That is just their worst performance of the season. Hornets killed them and there's even one point where they are stuck at 39 points in the first half. So it's true, they are just hyped and nothing more.
The absence of Lonzo and Caruso especially Caruso can be felt if you are watching them playing.
Their defense is very weak that they are allowing a team like Hornets to score 133 points. I thought that they can sustain their spot when they are at the top 1-3 at least but it seems that they aren't. Two injured core players only and they are crumbling. I can't say that they are hyped because they can be a playoff contender if they are complete. Its just that injuries killed the chances of the Bulls which is quite unfortunate.
I thought only the Lakers are choking but it seems that the Jazz too as well. They led by 17 coming into the 4th quarter but the Suns just outscored them in the 4th quarter 36-13 to get the victory. Take note that it is also their home court. For sure coach Snyder is very upset with his team.
