Through seven games, the Bulls are the NBAs worst first quarter defense and fourth quarter offense. That is not a recipe for success.
Meanwhile, the Bulls’ two best five-man units by total plus-minus are LaVine staggered with all reserves. LaVine plus Goran Dragić, Alex Caruso, Derrick Jones Jr. and Andre Drummond is +21 in 17 minutes; LaVine plus those players except Javonte Green in for Jones is +12 in 11 minutes.
“I just think it's intensity, physicality, energy. All things that we can control,” said starting power forward Patrick Williams when asked to diagnose the slow starts. “We just always dig ourselves a hole and then we end up fighting our way out of it, which kind of just shows the team that we are... But we can't dig ourselves that much of a hole.”“We got a team full of winners. Nobody likes to lose, nobody wants to lose, we all hate to lose.
The Bulls are 0-3 in “clutch” contests this season, defined by NBA.com as games within a five-point margin with five or fewer minutes to play, shooting 0-for-7 from 3-point range and committing four turnovers against three assists in 13 minutes. More figures ripe for positive regression.
