During the initial stage of the current NBA season, Chicago Bulls led by DeMar DeRozan showed some extraordinary performance, and it finally looked like the Bulls franchisee are back in form to grab the championship since Michael Jordan left. But things are not going well recently for the Bulls as they faced their ninth loss in the last 12 games on Tuesday night when the Milwaukee Bucks crushed them by, 126-98.
The Bulls are running out of rope as they haven’t been competitive against real playoff teams. The Chicago-based franchise is 0-15 against the top three teams in both conferences which have raised questions like, will they make a deep playoff run?

DeMar DeRozan react after Bulls blowout loss against the Milwaukee Bucks
After the loss to the Bucks, the Bulls leader DeMar DeRozan came in front of the media during the postgame conference to talk about what will be their mindset for the upcoming games after a struggling midseason.
DeRozan said, “We’re starting to understand what it’s going to be like it will be even tougher come playoff time – but we’re going through it right now, it’s definitely frustrating – we hate to lose, so everyone’s mindset is frustration. We have to figure out how to channel that frustration to use on our opponents.”
DeRozan continued, “Sometimes it takes someone getting hit in the mouth and knocked down before they get upset and fight back and come out swinging. You’ve gotta have that mentality before you get hit – you need to be the ones coming out swinging.”
DeRozan ended his statement by saying, “At some point we have to get tired of getting our butt’s kicked, and that switch has to flip, enough is enough, we have to show our desperation. Sometimes it’s okay to go through [a stretch like this] if you let it build you up and bring that toughness you’ve been searching for something like this can bring that out of you – we just have to find it.”
The five-times all-star has called out for the emergence to start grabbing wins if they want to avoid the play-in tournament. The Bulls are currently the fifth seed in the eastern conference and just two games above the play-in.
