I could sit here and give you a normal recap of the Chicago Bulls ‘ tight loss to the Indiana Pacers. But does this team even deserve that? For the third consecutive game, the Bulls have lost to one of the NBA’s worst. They started things off by allowing a season-high to the two-win New Orleans Pelicans.

While the Bulls were already eliminated from the NBA Cup heading into Friday’s game, the loss marked another unceremonious end for the franchise in the league’s annual tourna...
Living on the edge is fun and all … until a flock of Pelicans swoop in while you’re eating a sandwich, thus making you lose your balance and plummet into the depths of the earth’s core. It was only a matter of time for the Chicago Bulls. The team has been playing with fire over the last week-plus. Dating back to their double-OT loss to the Utah Jazz, this group hasn’t looked anything like the 6-1 team that shocked the NBA. They started the season punching teams in the mouth with their d...
