Bulls not an artistic success

[645]

SALT LAKE CITY -- With 34 games to play, the Bulls are eight games above .500 for the first time this season and tied with Detroit for the most victories in the Eastern Conference.

So why does it seem there have been more moments of aggravation than artistry for fans this season?

Back-to-back victories over Seattle and Portland provide the perfect portrait to support this theory, even if it's not always pretty to view.

The Bulls couldn't guard anybody in the first half against Seattle, especially inside. They allowed 34 points in the paint by the break. Sonics assistant Jack Sikma last played in 1991 and he might have been able to toss in 12.
