The Bulls need to improve their performance against the NBA’s elite if they want to make noise in the postseason.
“We take it on as a challenge to play better against the better teams,” Coby White said.
The Bulls’ net rating of plus-1.9 is 12th of the 12 teams above the play-in picture from both conferences. It’s what happens when you possess the league's fourth-best offensive rating but just the 19th-best defensive rating. If the Bulls are that reliant on two players to impact games defensively, that could be troubling come playoff time. Physical front lines — like the ones the Heat, 76ers, Cavaliers and Bucks possess — also have bedeviled them at times.
