Bulls and Blazers mixed for worst NBA sequence of the 12 months, and it one way or the other saved going

The cross-conference rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers was once so good that a video game was made out of it. These days, the franchises are closer to mirror images of each other in terms of being stuck in mediocrity. Chicago and Portland each entered their Friday night matchup with 34 wins

Bulls and Blazers mixed for worst NBA sequence of the 12 months, and it one way or the other saved going

The cross-conference rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers was as soon as so good {that a} online game was made out of it. Nowadays, the franchises are nearer to reflect pictures of one another when it comes to being caught in mediocrity. Chicago and Portland every entered their Friday night time matchup with 34 wins, which is nice sufficient for the Bulls to make the play-in event within the East, however not for the Blazers within the West.

The Bulls and Blazers confirmed followers what it appears to be like like for 2 NBA groups taking part in out the common season in April with one of many worst sequences you’ll ever see late within the first quarter. It began with a Shaedon Sharpe airball, and simply bought worse from there for 5 straight possessions.

Somebody cue up “Yakety Sax,” as a result of it’s the soundtrack that works for this. Watch the Bulls and Blazers make one miscue after one other right here:

Shaedon Sharpe’s airball begins the sequence. It’s continued with Kevin Huerter bricking a dunk, which leads immediately into Dalano Banton getting stuffed by Dalen Terry. Josh Giddey then pushes the ball down the ground earlier than getting stuffed by the rim, and it ends with an terrible alley-oop move from Banton to Sharpe.

It shouldn’t be doable to throw the ball too excessive for Sharpe on an alley-oop, as a result of the young Blazers wing can jump out of the gym. It’s much less shocking to see Giddey’s shot get rejected on the rim, as a result of that’s been taking place all 12 months (he’s been blocked 66 instances in 68 video games).

The Bulls outlasted Portland, 118-113, to choose up win No. 35. The Bulls are already locked into the play-in event once more even after eliminating Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Alex Caruso during the last 12 months. It’s probably that the season ends the identical manner for Chicago and Portland: with disappointment within the lottery. There’s some good things taking place on each of those groups, however no superstars to talk of. The rebuilding section isn’t simple. At the very least the Bulls could have an opportunity to play their win into the playoffs.
