Despite losing the last two games the Bulls have one positive that they can take away and that is the play of Nikola Mirotic. Nikola was shooting lights out against the Knicks on March 23rd making 9-13 shots from three point range. He finished that game with a total of 35 points. I have always loved Nikola's ability to shoot the basketball. The fact that he is a big man who could shoot threes at will is such a valuable asset in the NBA that not all teams have. The only criticism that I have for Nikola is that he can sometimes be a streaky player. He could have great games like he had the other night and then there are nights where you don't even notice that he is out on the floor. He needs to provide a spark for the Bulls during this last stretch of the season.

As for the rest of the Bulls team there needs to be a sense of urgency moving forward. They are still fighting for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The top players need to step up. (I'm talking about you Derrick Rose!!!!!!!!) It sucks that they are even in this position, but IT IS WHAT IT IS. They need to accept it and come ready to play each game.
