NBA Power Rankings: LeBron’s struggles; Raptors’ early dominance

29. Chicago Bulls (2-4)

I have to make a big of a confession here. I though the Chicago Bulls were going to be better than what many expected. I will come back to reality and admit that I was 100 percent wrong. I fell in love with the names on their roster, and ignored the fact that this roster doesn’t really fit together.

And, it doesn’t hurt that this team has been decimated by injuries to start the season. Kris Dunn, Lauri Markkanen, Denzel Valentine and now Bobby Portis will all be out for the next few weeks. There’s a good chance that this team isn’t fully healthy again until December.

That’s going to be a problem, and it wouldn’t be all that surprising if the Bulls end up with the worst record in the NBA this season. It’s bad.

The good news, though, is the fact that Zach LaVine is actually living up to the big contract extension that he signed this past summer.
