Talk of the Bulls thinking this would be a rebuilding season began
before 2017-18 ever got started, and the Bulls did little to dispel that
thought with their 3-20 start. However, they're 9-2 since then and have
been buoyed by the play of Nikola Mirotic, Bobby Portis, Lauri
Markannen and Kris Dunn. Carlos Martinez Youth Jersey After last night's win, Dunn told Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun
Timesthat rebuilding is the farthest thing on the Bulls' minds now:
Asked if he has ever been associated with a fan base that wants to
see its team lose, as many Bulls fans do this season, Dunn smiled and
shook his head.
“I’ve never heard Carson Kelly Youth Jersey of that in my life, and that’s why it’s really hard to answer that
question,’’ Dunn said. “It’s like, who doesn’t like winning? It’s almost
a lose-lose situation by answering that question.
“We’re not going to go out there to lose. We work hard every single
day. We’re professionals at the end of the day, people have families.
Our job is not to lose on purpose.
“The last few weeks haven’t been an accident. We feel like we can
play with anyone.’’

“Obviously, Chris Carpenter Youth Jersey look at our record since Niko’s been back, but another key is we got
David [Nwaba] back at that same time,’’ coach Fred Hoiberg said. “You’ve
got two guys out there that understand what you’re trying to do. Two
guys that are going to go out there and battle whoever they’re guarding.
You look at our defense and where it’s gone since Niko’s been back,
since David’s been back, and that’s been a big difference in our team.’’
