The Chicago Bulls are having an abysmal season with only thirteen victories out of their thirty games. The team needs to improve their performance if they are willing to go through toward the playoffs; the horrible run of the team is causing disturbance among the players. Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan are claimed to be one of the best pairs in the NBA and now constantly seem tired in the field.
The players themselves know that they respect one another, but the lack of consistency is causing them to lose their cools and go against each other at times- creating a loop where the team is struggling due to the pair’s issues, and the pair are having those issues as the team is going through some rough time.
“I think everybody goes through ups and downs, just like every team does,” said LaVine” “Obviously if we’re not winning games, not everybody’s going to be happy. It’s not going to look as good as it was before. It’s all glitter and show when you’re winning games.”
“But when you’re losing games and you’re trying to do the same things, it’s turmoil. Everybody has their right to their own opinion. For me, I keep my head down. I work on my game and try to help my team. I help try to lead the team. That’s where I stand. I just try to take it day by day and evaluate how we’re doing.” he further added.
However, despite such positivity, Lavine has some internal issues with DeRozan- claimed by multiple sources, yet there is no evidence to this claim.
The Charging Bull
After a disappointing start and an average mid-season, the Bulls are making an astonishing comeback with two back-to-back wins against the Heat and the Hawks and in both matches, LaVine and DeRozan played their parts by contributing evenly for the team- in the latest match-up against the Hawks, both players have played a fair amount of time with 38 and 37 minutes respectively where the players managed to score 28 and 22 points each. While earlier in the match against Miami Heat DeRozan played for 40 and LaVine 37 minutes and both players again scored evenly with 24 and 21 points.
The Bulls fans will be hoping that the two players can capitalize on this to lead their team toward the playoffs ending both the rumors of their internal issues and the disappointment of fans.
