Just How Bad Is The Bulls' Defense?

Have you watched the Bulls play lately? We wouldn't cast blame if you answered no, because they've been painful to watch recently -- losers in seven of their last eight, by an average of almost 16 points. Perhaps they'd be more competitive if they actually played some defense. In their recent 110-78 debacle against the Toronto Raptors, Jarrett Jack was able to actually stop and tie his shoe while in possession of the ball! Jack received a pass at the top of the key when he noticed his laces were undone, and he bent down to fix it while cradling the ball. None of the Bulls defenders even challenged Jack as he was in a compromised position. Loul Deng should've attacked with his long arms and tried to steal the ball, but instead he looked like he wasn't sure what to do. It's no surprise they lost by 32 points with an effort like that.
