Yeah, I think, you know, I was somewhat a believer at the start of the year, mostly because the Bulls were beating good teams like the Pistons have been the best team in the NBA this year.
Essentially, the Bulls beat them on that run.
The magic looked good.
They were just running off some some pretty good wins.
And I think from someone in my position where I've just always been so critical of the Bulls from an ownership and front office level that when they actually were playing good ball, I felt like I should compliment them and give them a little bit of the benefit of the doubt.
Where it went wrong is that the Bulls lost to all the worst teams in the league in a row as soon as they started getting some injuries.
They've lost three times to the Nats.
They've lost multiple times to the Pacers.
They've lost multiple times to the Pelicans, I believe.
So...
These games against the Tankers early in the season, they had to like essentially sweep those games to give themselves a shot at being a 45, 46, 47 win team.
And instead, as soon as they hit some adversity with injuries, they just completely fell apart.
So there were some decent things for the Bulls to hang their hat on before the trade deadline.
Really like Jalen Smith, really like Trey Jones.
Both of those guys are nice finds by Arturis Karnaschovas.
Giddy has proved me wrong.
He's played pretty well this year when he's been healthy.
But in general, you know, this team was never really going to make noise in the Eastern Conference, and I think Arturis was smart to take a step back at the trade deadline to be a seller.
Unfortunately, it's probably too little too late.
There's 10 teams tanking this year.
