The Chicago Bulls opened the 2026–27 NBA season with an EMBARRASSING 135–92 loss to the Toronto Raptors, and Bulls fans have every right to be frustrated!
Chicago committed 27 turnovers, shot just 4-of-36 from three-point range and was outscored 34–13 in fast-break points.
But with Bryson Graham openly acknowledging this is a rebuilding season, should fans simply accept performances like this?
On today's Locked On Bulls Hits, we're discussing:
- Why rebuilding shouldn't excuse a 43-point defeat
- Chicago's embarrassing opening-night performance
- The difference between patience and complacency
- David Kaplan's frustration and the reaction from Bulls fans
- What Tiago Splitter needs to demand from this roster
- Why Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis can develop while the team remains competitive
One game doesn't define a rebuild, but fans should still expect effort, organization and improvement.
Are Bulls fans being too critical, or are expectations becoming dangerously low?
