Things aren't looking great for the Chicago Bulls right now. They've fallen 1-3 to the Milwaukee Bucks and the team is struggling to stay afloat in the NBA Playoffs. They have an uphill battle from here on out, as Chicago must win three straight to remain in the postseason. Star forward DeMar DeRozan sent a message to fans amid the adversity the team is facing.

According to Will Gottlieb, DeMar DeRozan is keeping his head up and doing his best to keep his team moving forward. The Bucks are up big in the series, but DeRozan reminds his teammates and fans they can't, “show panic.” That's really all the Bulls can do at this point, as one more loss results in elimination from the NBA Playoffs.

Chicago has had no answers for Giannis Antentokounmpo. Additionally, Grayson Allen has been lights out, as the Bulls can't slow him down either. DeMar DeRozan needs to take over the next few games to get his team back in the race. It'll be hard to do, especially with Alex Caruso potentially out for Game 5.

So, the Bulls are shorthanded and can't make any more mistakes. Regardless, there is a small chance they fight back to win the series. It's a tough task, but we've seen it done before, albeit, that was LeBron James in his prime.

Keep an eye on the Bulls as they are going to do everything possible to win Game 5. At this point, it's about survival and Chicago has to take it one game at a time.
