It’s questionable if Wizards are a real NBA team as Bulls ….see more

Thanks to a career-high 34 points from Ayo Dosunmu, the Bulls treated the 11-win Wizards just like an 11-win team should be treated, easily winning 127-98.

The NBA logo is on the right side of the shorts.

It’s small, but still it’s legend Jerry West in all his glory.

The only actual proof that showed the Washington Wizards were in fact a real NBA team on Saturday night.

It’s not the roster. That’s for sure. Castoffs from other organizations scooped out of the dumpster before pick-up day. It’s not the coaching, especially with the lack of motivation and effort that the visiting team played with.

Nope, it’s just the shorts, and the Bulls enjoyed kicking those up and down the United Center floor in the 127-98 win.

In what was one of the more one-sided victories of the season, the Bulls (33-35) finally treated an 11-win team exactly how it should be treated, jumping on the Wizards from tip-off to final horn.

And the beneficiary of Washington’s lackluster play?

“That was great. He was great,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said of Dosunmu. “I think him having the opportunity to see some of those things against the Clippers (last week), him staying aggressive the game will tell him what to do next. I still think there’s a lot of room (to get better at scoring). He’s worked on that. He’ll get better form this year as well. The one thing I admire about him is he works to get better.”

Just how badly did the Bulls bully the Wizards? With just under five minutes left in the game and Nikola Vucevic having words with Eugene Omoruyi, the next time down the floor not only did the Bulls big man take the seldom-heard-of Omoruyi to the rim with a step-through lay-in, but after he drew the foul on the play he even bent down and flashed the “too small” gesture to Omoruyi.

Tempers never escalated beyond that, but for Vucevic – who only lashes out at referees admittedly mostly in Serbian – to have words with another player showed just how the Bulls were feeling about themselves on the evening.
