Published 11/25/2023, 2:46 AM EST

Things are not working out well for the Chicago Bulls. Losing 108-121 against the Toronto Raptors, they registered their third loss in the NBA in-season group stages. They are 13th in the championship table, having lost 12 out of 17 matches.

Needless to say, the players and coach Billy Donovan are disappointed to the core. Bulls star forward Demar DeRozan lashed out with his disappointment after the match.

DeRozan said he and his teammates are frustrated. However, the 34-year-old added that a couple of wins can change things in the locker room. Bulls’ insider K.C. Johnson took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared what DeRozan had to say.

DeRozan: “I can’t fake it. I’m beyond frustrated. Everybody in this locker room is frustrated. It’s from a good place of being a competitor and wanting to figure it out that badly. Put a couple wins together. I really truly believe that can shift everything for us.”

DeRovan said, “I can’t fake it. I’m beyond frustrated. Everybody in this locker room is frustrated. It’s from a good place of being a competitor and wanting to figure it out that badly. Put a couple wins together. I really truly believe that can shift everything for us.”

The in-season playoff dreams are over for the Bulls. The Raptors, however, strengthened their position after winning this game by a big margin. They are 1-2 at this point, compared to the Bulls’ 0-3.

DeRozan’s fight and Zach LaVine’s masterclass were not enough for the Bulls to sail through. “Air Diesel” scored 19 points, and “Zach Attack” scored a brilliant 36 points. Furthermore, DeRozan got involved in a conversation with the Raptors bench, which led to his ejection in the final seconds. He reportedly found Pascal Siakam taking longer than expected to go for the three-pointer and keeping the ball to himself.

With this, Billy Donovan’s boys lost six out of their last seven games. Though they have impactful players like DeRozan and LaVine on their squad, it is simply not working for them. It would be interesting to see how far they reach in the NBA championship.
