The 2025-26 NBA season can’t be over soon enough for the Chicago Bulls. After a 121-112 loss at home to the Portland Trailblazers on Thursday night at the United Center, the Bulls gifted their fans some coal.
The loss dropped Chicago to 0-11 in the month of February with their last win coming at the end of January. The 0-11 mark is the worst month ever by the Bulls in franchise history and the 11-game losing streak is the third-worst in franchise history.
OUCH.
The Bulls just finished the worst month in franchise history and their 11-game losing streak is the third-worst for the organization. Hard to believe they can find new lows after Floyd and Boylen years, but that trade deadline was a doozy.

The Bulls have been dreadful in the month of February, with little for the fans to cheer about. Not only did they move players on the roster at the trade deadline but they didn’t receive many valuable assets, if any in the process. Chicago’s “rebuild” is underway but it’s a more painful one than expected.
Chicago Bulls tank is on.. but is it too late?
The Bulls finally picked a direction earlier in February. They decided to move Coby White, Kevin Heurter, Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu, keeping Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey. It’s something that fans wanted the team to do in years past. But now, it might be too late.
The 2025 draft class was a really good one, led by Cooper Flagg. The Bulls essentially lost out on the No. 1 pick due to a coin flip with Dallas. But even getting into the top three would have been huge as a player like Kon Knueppel is looking like a franchise player. Then there’s 2026.
Right now, the Bulls are ninth in the NBA’s tank standings. They are 1.5 up on Memphis and 2 up on Dallas in terms of moving up to get into that lottery for a draft which is considered VERY strong. Realistically, the Bulls are probably going to finish eighth or ninth with the ceiling being sixth. But they have a lot of work to do.
Again, it was too late to start this “tank” and now they could miss out on another really strong draft.
