The Chicago Bulls in their first 41 games over the past 3 seasons: 19-22 in 2022/23 | 19-22 in 2023/24 | 18-23 in 2024/25
Following tonight's loss to the Hawks, Chicago will finish with one less win than they did the year prior but the fact they almost posted the same record 3 years in a row halfway through the season is a remarkable coincidence - and a very funny one at that.
The Chicago Bulls currently possess the 10th seed in the East with their current record. If they don't make the playoffs via the play-in, they would have the 9th best odds in the lottery; their pick is owned by the Spurs but is Top 10-protected for the season (Top 8 in 2026) so it would be deferred until next year.
