The former MVP is frustrated with himself & team!
After consecutive losses and dropping 6 of their last 8, the Chicago Bulls are suffering turmoil, in a surprisingly competitive eastern conference. With Atlanta showing no signs of falling off, Toronto finally gaining health, Washington continuing to shoot lights out and Cleveland incorporating new players – Chicago could be on the outside of getting home court advantage this spring for the playoffs. Last night, the team suffered a rare 14-point loss (were down well over 20 points), which was against rival LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
Joakim Noah and Mike Dunleavy were both out and the team has been looking to Rose to provide the superstar void the team has missed over the last three years. Whether the team is taking a backseat because their captain is back may be the case; but in the past, they’ve had more fuel and fire in previous years without half the talent they have this year. Chicago is one of the older teams in the league and is looking to win now, but will need to play non-depressed and show their signature high level of energy on the court.
