Weekly Preview: Will the Real Chicago Bulls Please Stand Up?
The Chicago Bulls have been inconsistent to start the season. Will that trend continue with a four-game homestand this week? The weekly preview of the Chicago Bulls' season has been mixed, with the team's pace and offensive attack being praised but criticized for their defense. Despite winning five consecutive games and ranking 15-16 in the league, the Bulls' defense has been poor. Chicago's 122.0 opponent points permitted per game ranks 26th and its 118.1 defensive rating is 23rd. The team currently occupies the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference, behind the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks. The Bulls are also catching the Minnesota Timberwolves in a vulnerable moment, but their defense remains solid. The Wolves' recent losses have been largely attributed to their backcourt issues. The season's other notable games include a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, but this upcoming game against the Charlotte Hornets could offer some respite.
