NBA: 3 early-season Eastern Conference trends to keep an eye on

The Chicago Bulls seem legit

Through the first four games of the season, the Chicago Bulls have lived up to their offseason hype. After “winning” the offseason, the Bulls are 4-0 through the first week of the season as they sit atop the Eastern Conference. Whether or not they’ll be able to maintain this, however, is an entirely different question.

Nevertheless, so far so good for Chicago. Zach LaVine has continued to be a productive leader and all-star while DeMar DeRozan has done a great job of fitting in. Lonzo Ball has flashed and has really given this team a bump in playmaking.

The Bulls have quietly been one of the most consistently good teams to start the season and it’s only a matter of time before they start receiving some much-deserved attention from the national media.
