No Cade Cunningham, no problem.

More News: Nikola Vucevic has warning for Chicago Bulls front office before trade deadline

The Chicago Bulls put up valiant efforts against Giannis Antetokounmpo, Donovan Mitchell, and Victor Wembanyama, only to be unable to finish in the fourth quarter in their previous three games.

On Tuesday night, the Bulls had no answer for the Detroit Pistons without Cunningham or Jalen Duren in a 124-113 loss to the Detroit Pistons in front of 19,023 fans at Little Caesars Arena. The defeat was the fourth in a row for Chicago.

Veteran Center Nikola Vucevic was worse than useless, earning a -10 on the court for 25 minutes. He scored just six points and added six rebounds and three assists.

Some good things were seen from Matas Buzelis, as he added 21 points, 14 rebounds, two blocks, and two assists in 34 minutes. Though his defense could have been more crisp.

In a span of five days, the Bulls have gone from having the Eastern Conference’s best record at 6-1 to being 6-5 before playing the Utah Jazz on Sunday.

Chicago was without Josh Giddey against the San Antonio Spurs and Pistons. The Bulls hope to have him and Coby White back for the upcoming three-game West Coast trip.

Chicago Bulls HC doesn’t have faith in the roster

More News: Bulls issued major warning after loss to Cavs

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan didn’t sound confident that their eventual return means much to an inadequate roster.

“We’re not talented enough not to play desperate,” Donovan told reporters after the game, per K.C. Johnson of CHSN.

Yikes.

The Bulls should feel desperate before playing the Jazz. Coming off a four-game losing streak, Chicago has slipped to No. 8 in the East.

The Bulls have proven the sharp start through the first seven games to be fool’s gold.

Chicago should win two of three on the road. The Jazz are 4-7. On Monday night, the Bulls face a tough challenge against the 8-2 Denver Nuggets before finishing the trip against the 5-5 Portland Trailblazers.

It will be important for players like Giddey and White to gain chemistry if the Bulls hope to make the playoffs outright. As it stands, Chicago is a Play-In Tournament team, and Donovan doesn’t have faith that the roster has enough talent to be more than that.
