The Chicago Bulls are fifth in the East, but could quickly lose that spot if the team doesn't turn their season around. Chicago has lost eight of its last 11 games and is currently on a two-game losing streak.
The team has done a lot of talking when it comes to climbing out of this late-season slump. However, Zach LaVine is tired of just talking about it. He spoke about his frustrations with the team following their Thursday night loss, quotes courtesy of The Athletic.
“We’ve done enough talking. We’ve done enough of trying to pep talk and rally or however it is to get guys’ spirits up. We’ve just got to get it done now. It’s time to stop talking,” the starting shooting guard said.
LaVine led the Bulls in scoring with 39 points in the 126-109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.
“You go through ebbs and flows throughout the season…Teams start buckling down and understanding ramping up for the postseason and looking at what you do and what you don’t do. We’ve got to start getting back to our brand of basketball,” the Bulls star said. “It’s frustrating, but we’re going to have to figure it out and dig our way out of the hole. We’ve got to start figuring out what our weaknesses are and covering them up.”
The Bulls take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in a statement game Saturday night. Just one spot above the Cavs, this is a must-win game for Chicago, and it will set the tone for the rest of the season.
