It’s hard to know what the plan is beyond this season in Chicago. For now, though, the Bulls have been wildly inconsistent. Really good in some games, not so much in others.
On Monday, they were pummeled by 35 points in a home game against the Mavericks.
“They came out, jumped on us and played aggressive defensively,” guard/forward DeMar DeRozan said, via Annie Costabile of the Chicago Sun-Times. “Offensively, they got to their stuff. We have to give them credit. It’s no excuse on our end, no matter how tough of a road trip we just came off. We have to be ready to play.’’
The Bulls (31-34) currently sit in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and are highly likely headed for another season in the play-in tournament.
‘‘Every team is due for a butt-kicking of some sort throughout the season,’’ DeRozan said. ‘‘We have to let this be our last and only one for the rest of the season. It’s all about how you respond from here on out.’’
