The Chicago Bulls started the season 2-5. Here are five numbers that explain why the team is off to a slow start.
The Chicago Bulls are mired in their slowest start of the last three years, dropping to 2-5 in the first two weeks of the season. Early losses dropped the Bulls to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, where they only sit ahead of the 1-4 Washington Wizards. Only three other teams in the league have five or more losses — the Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz, who the Bulls play Monday night.
The Bulls finished fifth overall in defensive rating as they built consistency in Donovan’s system. This year, the Bulls are folding two high-caliber defenders — Torrey Craig and Jevon Carter — into their defensive system. Unsurprisingly, this has led to growing pains. But the next two months will prove if the Bulls can gel into a defense-first team again. The Bulls are currently making the second-lowest volume of 3-pointers in the league, averaging 9.4 per game.
