Maybe it was all the talk about potentially getting Kobe. Maybe it was the pressure of following up a fairly productive postseason. Whatever it is, the Chicago Bulls were not able to respond to the pressure.

The disappointing bulls have been moving backwards this year, starting out at 9-16. They’ve been known to start out slow but for some reason, it doesn’t look like they are going to do it this year.

Bulls forward Luol Deng said:

“I felt like something was going to happen,”
“I didn’t know whether it was players or coaches. But you could definitely feel there was something. It just didn’t seem like we were on the same page.”

It’s been a rough go of things for the young Bulls. Everyone thought that they would pull off a trade for then-disgruntled Lakers guard Kobe Bryant. They weren’t able to pull it off and since then the Lakers have gotten on to a fast start and it’s been the opposite for the lowly Bulls.

After all that, they had enough. Scott Skiles had to go.
