The Bulls offense is being found out, can they adjust?

 Chicago Bulls offense has been slipping lately. Outside of a ‘get-right’ game against the Magic over the weekend, in their 3 losses they’ve put up ORTGs of 81.3 (Pacers), 107.6 (Rockets), and 107.5 (Heat). Their overall season mark of 109.6 is now 13th in the league.



There’s some qualifications to be made, surely. Miami is a very good defensive team (4th), and the Bulls just have simply not gotten any rest. After tonight’s matchup they’ll have their first consecutive-nights-off since November 4-5, and many times in this month the Bulls have had to play on consecutive nights like the losses to Indiana and Miami.

That said, there are some flaws shown in the Bulls offense. One major factor is that the team is so good in transition, it is perhaps hiding a bit of the half-court struggles. The Bulls are the league’s best team in scoring efficiency after live-ball turnovers. If the offense starts after a rebound they fall to 15th, and when starting from a dead ball they’re all the way down to 23rd.

So especially in that Heat game, where Miami had the second-best night of the season from an opponent when it comes to taking care of the ball, it really reduces the Bulls ability to get ‘easy’ points.

Another factor on top of that is the zone defense that the Heat unleashed in the 2nd half.
