To be a Chicago Bulls fan is to experience a lot of good and bad and many ups and downs.
The team is currently 10th in the East, trying to break through its 20-24 record and secure a spot in the playoffs.
There have been far too many lazy, unneeded losses by the team this year, but there have also been some encouraging wins too.

As noted by BullsMuse on Twitter, Chicago is currently 11-3 against the Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, Utah Jazz, Miami Heat, and Brooklyn Nets this season.
Some of those teams are legitimately difficult and hard to take down, so beating them is impressive.
But it still isn’t enough.
If the Bulls hope to rebound and put together a strong second half of the season, they will need to also beat teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, and others.
So far, those teams have been far more challenging for the Bulls.
It’s been an incredible season for Bulls star Zach LaVine, who has averaged 23.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.
He is one of the main reasons why the team has been able to take down some formidable opponents.
Other guys, like Nikola Vucevic and, of course, DeMar DeRozan, have also been solid this year.
The team has been lacking one of its biggest players, Lonzo Ball, and it seems very possible that he won’t be back on the court at all this season.
So, can the Bulls continue to beat the aforementioned teams – and others – in the next few months?
They are close to being in playoff contention but they will need to formulate a solid plan and reliable roster if they want to make that dream a reality.
