Bulls forget how to play basketball for the whole half in cluster loss to stamps

Chicago Bulls did not suffer the biggest loss in the NBA story on Tuesday. Memphis Grizzlies ’73-Point’s victory over Oklahoma City Thunder in 2021 is still alone.

Bulls also didn’t have the most anemical neighborhood or half in history against Detroit Pistons or even one of the bottom 10. In fact, they even won the other half by two points.

We have finished indicating the amount of reasons why Bulls should feel better over their 132-92 losses to the pistons.

A tense of NBA outblowns is the end result that often does not reflect how ugly things were at some point. Huge deficits can be softened with several minutes of low effort, low-stakes basketball. The real brand of a blowout is when the arena accepts what happens.

In the case of bulls, it was probably when they went into the break 71-29 after one of the worst offensive halves in the basketball story. Here the team reports dutifully this fact:

Here’s the next tweet on their timeline:

As a team, Bull’s 12-of-52 (23.1%) shot. As a team, they were 1-of-23 from 3-point range (4.3%-y, four percent). As a team, they committed 10 revenue, two fewer than their field goals made).

And it was all against the stamps, a solid team, but certainly not among the elite of the NBA defense. Detroit Outscored Chicago 34-18 in the first quarter, which felt quite skewed, and then won the second quarter 37-11.

Rookie Matas Buzelis ended up leading the team to score by 12 points. Chicago emptied his bench so fully that every player on his active list scored at least three points, which is an achievement in itself.

This kind of performance will never be shocking from actual professional athletes, but Bulls really don’t have much to play for at this time. Their record of 22-32 actually sets them on the last NBA-Play-in-place, but they have more talented teams behind them in the Philadelphia 76ers (provided they can field a healthy set up two games in a row) and Toronto Raptors who Just got Brandon Ingram in a trade.

Meanwhile, Bulls just traded Zach avalanche and should probably have traded more players away with both eyes on the future. As can be seen from, Ahem, 40-point loss on Tuesday, there is not much reason to believe that this list has any reason to believe it can make use of a play-in place.
