Chicago Bulls are looking to get back on track vs Boston Celtics
The Chicago Bulls earned a huge opening night win over the Maimi Heat last week. It was a great way to open the season against an elite team and it was made even better by getting the huge win on the road. It also came without Zach LaVine which is very impressive.
However, the Bulls have since gotten LaVine back but nothing good to show for it. They have lost two since that first game and are now 1-2 on the year. They are looking to play much better than they did in their home opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.
They were absolutely destroyed on their home court by a final score of 128-96. It really wasn’t even close. Every top player on the team had an underwhelming night based on their standards. It is a tough game knowing what happened in the final seconds of the one prior. Now, it is time to bounce back.
It is another home game on Monday night when the Bulls take on the Boston Celtics. This is a Celtics team that just lost in the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors so you know that they are very good. There is no doubt that this is going to be a struggle.
The Chicago Bulls need a good showing against the Boston Celtics on Monday.
Everyone thought that would be the case against the Miami Heat as well. The Bulls stunned them without their top player. Now, with him back, they should be able to put up a good performance in this one. They will have to give it everything they can but after the last game, there is no excuse.
Of course, it won’t be the end of the season if they drop it and go 1-3 but they shouldn’t want to do that. Things can go off the rails quickly when it comes to a team getting on a losing streak. It is going to be a struggle of a year but they can win some games.
They aren’t going to be the best team in the NBA through Christmas so there isn’t going to be as much wiggle room for error in the second half. This game against Boston is a great way to bounce back after two tough losses over the weekend. It would be nice to earn some momentum.
