So the second straight season with team intern issues. Likely will lead to missing playoffs again. If they don't know who should know it. If you don't play a regular season game without full effort then you are not a team. This is really disappointing. As a 14-year old boy I played soccer. We had 14 season games. Playing all with about 8 or 9 players against opponents playing with 11 players and bench. Coaches asked us if we want to quit the season. So our core around 5 boys 13/14 years old made the decision not to quit. We wanted to play every game. We scored 9 goals in 14 games. Not too bad while playing every game undermanned. We losed every game and the opponents scored 99 goals. But we always tried to win every game. I'm proud to played this season. I don't see anything like that from the Bulls team. I really hope that management will be fired and that this will lead to a total rebuild. Even without Butler, Wade and Co. I want to see a team again. I would be more satisfied with a bad team that give its best. I'm fed up.
