To say the Chicago Bulls have had a disappointing season might be an understatement. They currently have a 24-51 which is the 3rd worst in the Eastern Conference. They lost their seventh game in a row on Thursday night against the Maimi Heat and in the 4th quarter it all boiled over for Robin Lopez.

After not getting a few calls he thought he should have Lopez lost it and was ejected by the officials. On the way to the locker room, he let them continue to have it using a few choice words basically telling them how he felt about the job they were doing.

Lopez got his last words in and now the NBA has given the punishment. According to Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports,  Lopez was fined $25,000 by the NBA for his tirade.

Lopez is one of the few veterans on the Bulls roster, and this season has been hard for him. Lopez has only played 63 games for the Bulls this year as the Bulls tried to “get younger players minutes” which is also referred to as tanking. The fact is that Lopez gives the Bulls the best chance to win and it is in the best interest of the organization to lose games for a better draft pick.

When Lopez has played this year he has played really well for the team and he is actually having one of his best seasons ever. He is averaging 11.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists per game. He is shooting 52.9 percent from the field.
