The Chicago Bulls (30–45, 11th in East) travel to Washington to face the Wizards (25–50, 13th in East) at Capital One Arena tonight, and we should absolutely win this game. They’re 25–50 and one of the worst teams in the league. We’re 30–45 and fifteen games under .500, but we should beat them even on the road.
The Wizards have Jordan Poole—streaky scorer. Kyle Kuzma provides versatility. Bilal Coulibaly is developing. But they’re 25–50 and in full rebuild mode. They’re playing young guys and tanking.
We have DeMar DeRozan still getting his mid-range buckets. Anfernee Simons providing perimeter shooting. Collin Sexton brings energy. We’re on the road against one of the worst teams in the league.
For Bulls fans, this is a game we absolutely need to win—even on the road against a tanking team.
