Everything clicked for the Bulls on Tuesday night when they beat the Heat, a far cry from the discord on the hardwood between the team's stars which has engulfed the franchise.
' star players are not seeing eye-to-eye, which is being magnified by an overall disappointing season in the Windy City, according to a report from The Athletic. and the Bulls qualified for the playoffs. Coming into 2022-2023, the organization hoped to build on last season's momentum and make an even deeper run this year.Zach Lavine, left, and DeMar Derozan of the Chicago Bulls face the Kings on March 14, 2022, at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
The pair is believed to continue to have a good personal relationship, but on the court they seem strained. Some of the tension may stem from the struggle to find the best way to blend their respective styles of play. Even more, multiple league sources and sources close to the organization who were granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly on team dynamics claim a sense of disconnect exists between DeRozan and LaVine.
When Ball was available, the Bulls went 22-13 but are 24-23 without him in the lineup. It is unclear when Ball could return to action. "What we want to see is obviously improvement," he said."Once you get to the playoffs and have healthy bodies, I think a lot of things can happen. So I think we have to do better than last year. When you get to the playoffs, as always, things happen. A certain team is missing one or two key players and you can get by a round. So those are the expectations."
