The 1-7 Bulls are a disaster, and that's putting it mildly

Chicago Sun-Times columnist Scoop Jackson argues that the Chicago Bulls' 1-7 start to the season represents a disastrous introduction for the franchise's overhauled roster, coaching staff, and front office. Jackson highlights lopsided blowout losses, including multiple 30-plus point defeats and an 84-point defensive collapse in a single half against the New York Knicks.

The columnist details major statistical struggles, noting the Bulls allowed 129.6 points per game through eight games while ranking last in three-point shooting percentage at 27.2%. Jackson notes that head coach Tiago Splitter faces a massive developmental challenge preaching resilience to rookie Caleb Wilson amidst severe early-season growing pains.
