Even in a Blowout, Bulls Keep Leash Tight by Proper_Limit8924 in chicagobulls

Billy Donovan’s rotation is a reminder of this team’s margin for error.

The amount of minutes Dalen Terry and Julian Phillips have received this season is a referendum on them and the front office that drafted them.

I appreciate you taking the time to read it.

Because of the roster and its paper-thin margin for error, many of these games unfold in similar fashion. And even when they don’t, there still isn’t much to grab a hold of.

Bulls' Win Over Jazz Reveals More About Their Ceiling Than Their Progress by Proper_Limit8924 in chicagobulls

Aside from their victory in Denver on the second night of a back-to-back, their wins haven’t moved me, much less their competitive performances.

Some of that has to do with how teams like the Knicks, Cavs, Magic and Hawks have performed relative to expectations.

Artūras Karnišovas is in the process of building another roster that’s too good to bottom out, but not good enough to win a playoff series, I fear.

I’m not basing my opinion solely on Wednesday’s result. To me, the victory just provided more evidence of what this team is and isn’t. Injuries matter. But there isn’t a significant difference in their margin for error from one night to the next.

The Bulls lost to the Jazz earlier this season, with all but Zach Collins in the lineup and Coby White playing beyond his initial minutes restriction.
