The 2022-23 Chicago Bulls season was a rollercoaster of performances and outcomes. The team ended the regular season with a 40-42 record, finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference. Despite being a mid-tier team, the Bulls showcased flashes of brilliance but struggled with consistency, particularly against stronger opponents.
Key players like DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine led the charge offensively. DeRozan averaged 24.5 points per game, while LaVine added 24.8 points per game, providing the Bulls with a dynamic scoring duo. Nikola Vučević was pivotal in the paint, averaging a double-double with 17.6 points and 11 rebounds per game, contributing significantly on both ends of the floor.
Defensively, the Bulls saw ups and downs. Alex Caruso’s perimeter defense and energy were invaluable, though the team often lacked a cohesive defensive identity. Injuries also played a role in their inconsistent performances, with Lonzo Ball missing the entire season due to a knee injury, impacting the team’s playmaking and defensive capabilities.
In the play-in tournament, the Bulls managed to overcome the Toronto Raptors in a gritty contest, only to be defeated by the Miami Heat, thus missing out on the playoff spot. The season highlighted the need for roster adjustments and strategic changes if the Bulls aim to become serious contenders in the competitive Eastern Conference in future seasons.
- Regular Season Record: 40-42
