Zach LaVine didn’t mince his words when talking about the current losing skid of the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls suffered another loss, this time to the Charlotte Hornets (133-117). Charlotte led by as many as 37 points and cruised to an easy victory.
Following the defeat, Chicago fans booed the team and Zach LaVine called this reaction ‘understandable’.
“They should. It’s embarrassing. We’re a really good basketball team, and we’re not playing like it. They know that. We know that. It’s understandable.
We understand that they have our back, but we got to play better. Everybody is upset, man. We’re getting our ass kicked.
We just got to do a better job because the playoffs are right around the corner. We can’t let this happen. It’s embarrassing,” Zach LaVine told reporters afterwards, via ESPN.
