Unleash the Power of the Madhouse: Bulls’ Massive Fanbase Should Be Catalyst for Success
Since my last post warning everyone of Arturas Karnisovas’s future victory lap, the Bulls have kept up his meager dream of ‘preserving integrity of competition through a new playing identity’.
In these games against the Knicks and Spurs, they maintained a floor above that bottom-barrel (true tankers) level, mostly due to great play from veterans that aren’t going to see any increase in trade value. Josh Giddey gets benched down the stretch, Pat Williams is technically not benched but you can’t really tell, Ayo Dosunmu remains out with a now-troubling calf strain, and the under-23 cohort barely plays.
[One recent change is Coby White is out of his extremely long slump. That’s unequivocally good.]
That is what keeps them close, and in these last two they won the game too. The Spurs win was another instance of the Bulls maintaining their insane fortune1 in close games, now 7-0 in contests decided in the final minute where opponents have inexplicably, yet routinely, crapped themselves against the otherwise-awful Bulls defense.
