Early Crossroad in the Schedule
Going into Saturday's game against Washington, only 4 Eastern Conference teams are over .500 - and three of them are in the Bulls' division !! So the Bulls have to get things in gear pretty quickly, starting tonight on this 8-game homestand.
The team opened the season 6 and 9, including 11 road contests. That's not disastrous, but with 13 of the next 17 at home, the Bulls need to not only get above .500, but pretty WELL above .500 if they are going to compete in the Central Division.
