What happened

The opener in Toronto, 92-135, set a low bar immediately: "I've watched a lot of horrible Bulls games in my life and that was certainly one of them," one fan offered, while another called the shooting "absolute disaster class." Then came Milwaukee, 132-125, and the turn — praised as "best coaching I've seen on the bulls in a game in the last 5 years." Tuesday's 120-124 loss to Washington brought refs, rage, and Caleb Wilson's 30. At 1-2, the despair is already negotiable.
