It’s been a brutal period for the Chicago Bulls. Over a decade since they won their division, the Bulls are never bad enough to secure a top draft pick and land a superstar, and never good enough to truly contend for anything other than an early playoff exit.

Welp.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Spot the lie. Look, the Bulls are fine, but that’s the issue. They’re constantly “fine.” For years they’ve hovered around .500, made the playoffs a couple of times, but never moving forward or backwards — the endless Sisyphean Torment of the NBA.
Still though, I don’t know if you need to say so matter of factly like this. It just feels cruel.
Anyway, the Bulls managed to beat the Orlando Magic 102-99 on Wednesday night, taking their season record to 3-2 on the year. A record which is ... fine.
