5. The Hawks And Cavs Are Just Better

It’s in the books, ladies and gentleman, the Chicago Bulls have lost again. This time at the hands of the tough Memphis Grizzlies at home, 101-91.

This loss now marks their third straight defeat and sixth loss in their last 10 games.

There’s no question it’s tough to blame the team after losing talents like Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler, but this time of year is used to get into the exact position Gregg Popovich preaches with his San Antonio Spurs every season, not struggling.

I fear to bring up the obvious, but the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers are both just flat out better squads.

The problem for Chicago is that it’s not even close.
