Nothing But Nets

The Bulls squared off with the Nets this Saturday, February 18th. If I didn't know any better it would have thought the Nets were the best team in the league. Despite the low quality competition, the Bulls got stomped by the Nets, 97-85. The Nets led by as much as 17 in the first quarter and never looked back, deflating an already flat Bulls team.

The Bulls defense was virtually nonexistent, as they gave up 29 points to ex-Illini point guard, Deron Williams; 24 to ex-Kardashian boo, Kris Humphries; and 19 to rookie, MarShon Brooks. 5 Bulls scored in double digits, but that wasn't enough to make up for their lack of defense. The Bulls definitely missed their MVP this game. It's hard to believe he would have let this happen had he played.

I tried long and hard to find a silver lining in this defeat, but it couldn't be done. Worse loss of the season by far. That being said, it is was a trivial game, no need to make it anything more than it is. Sure, we played terrible, but at the end of the season, this will not be a game I point back to and say "if only we could have won that." I look for the Bulls to get right back in their groove as they take on the Hawks on Monday. The Bulls and Hawks are 1-1 against each other this season.
