Cash Considerations is back to talk about another Chicago Bulls disappointment. Jason and Ricky rant after the Bulls' ugly 108-95 loss to a shorthanded Pacers team, which dropped Chicago to 2-5 on the season. The Bulls are stacking up bad losses to begin the 2019-20 campaign, and there are plenty of people to blame, from supposed star players Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen to head coach Jim Boylen. One saving grace of this awful start has been the play of Wendell Carter Jr., who needs to be even more unselfish on the offensive end as he continues to develop.

Cash Considerations is back to talk about the Chicago Bulls' disappointing 1-3 start. Jason and Ricky are doing their best not to panic after an ugly meltdown against the New York Knicks, but there are some big-picture concerns to address. The Bulls need more consistent production from top guns Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen, and any production at all from Otto Porter Jr. and Tomas Satoransky. Jim Boylen also has to figure things out with his defensive scheme and rotations, among other things. Thanks to our partners ShipStation and Harry's.

Cash Considerations is back to discuss the Bulls' season opener against the Hornets. While the Bulls entered the season with some hype, they suffered a disappointing 126-125 loss to a Hornets team expected to finish toward the bottom of the East. Jason and Ricky discuss the awful defense and fourth-quarter collapse that helped make this defeat happen, as well as the poor performance of Zach LaVine. On a positive note, Lauri Markkanen looked dominant, and the Bulls got strong showings from bench players Coby White, Thaddeus Young and Kris Dunn. It's a long season, and the Bulls need to bounce back after this unacceptable loss. Blue Wire thanks our partners for this week, Axios and Indochino.

However, some of the optimism is drained by early injuries to Wendell Carter Jr. and Daniel Gafford during a three-hour first practice, and we couldn't help but take some jabs at the front office and Jim Boylen for this and their constant "in our building" refrain.
