The Chicago Bulls did not suffer the greatest loss in the history of the NBA on Tuesday. The 73 -point victory from the Memphis Grizzlies against Oklahoma City Thunder in 2021 is still alone.
The Bulls also did not have the quarter or half the most anemic in history against the Pistons de Detroit, or even one of the last 10. In fact, they even won the second half by two points.
We have finished listing the number of reasons why the bulls must feel better in their 132-92 Loss with pistons.
A quirk of the eruptions of the NBA is the final score often does not reflect how ugly things have been at some point. Huge deficits can be softened by several minutes of basketball with low efforts with low challenges. The real mark of an eruption is when the arena accepts what is going on.
In the case of the Bulls, it was probably when they entered the half-time of 71-29 after one of the worst offensive halves in the history of basketball. Here is the team that conscientiously reports this fact:
Here is the next tweet of their calendar:
As a team, the Bulls pulled 12 out of 52 (23.1%). As a team, they were 1 in 23 of the 3 -point range (4.3% – yes, four percent). As a team, they committed 10 reversals, two less than their goals on the field made).
And everything was against the pistons, a solid team but certainly not among the elite of the defense of the NBA. Detroit preceded Chicago 34-18 in the first quarter, which felt quite unbalanced, then they won the second quarter 37-11.
Recruit Matas Buzelis ended up leading the team by scoring 12 points. Chicago has emptied his bench so completely that each player on his active list has scored at least three points, which is a realization in itself.
This type of performance will never be shocking real professional athletes, but the Bulls really have little to play at this stage. Their record of 22-32 actually puts them in the latest NBA game spot, but they have more talented teams behind them in the 76ers of Philadelphia (assuming that they can align a healthy alignment two games in a row) And the Raptors of Toronto, who just got Brandon Ingram in a profession.
Meanwhile, the Bulls had just exchanged Zach Lavine and should likely have to exchange more players with both eyes on the future. As evidenced by the loss of 40 points on Tuesday, there are not many reasons to believe that this list has a reason to believe that it can use a place of play.
