In what was easily one of their worst performances of the season, the Bulls got absolutely trounced by the Portland Trail Blazers 116-74. We know, it's the Circus Trip, but this is only game two, so that excuse is out the window. The game that featured the last two No. 1 picks in the NBA Draft (2007's Greg Oden - Portland, and 2008's Derrick Rose - Chicago) turned out to be completely one-sided. The Blazers took advantage of terrible shooting by the Bulls and raced out to a 34-13 lead and cruised the rest of the way. If you're looking for a silver lining, you can stop. Nocioni led all Bulls in scoring, putting in 13 off the bench while Gordon and Gooden both added 11.
