7. Chicago Bulls
Facing off against two big contenders in the Eastern Conference this past week, the Chicago Bulls came up short on two of their three attempts. The Bulls lost to the Sixers twice and beat the Nets once this past week. It doesn’t tell the whole story for Chicago, but it does show this team where they need to improve.
The Bulls came out hot to start the year but are now 3-3 against projected playoff teams in the Eastern Conference. This sample size should grow over the next couple of weeks and the results should be interesting.
Nevertheless, the Bulls are still one of the most impressive teams through the first few weeks of the NBA season in the East. That said, I’m still not sold on just how good this team is.
