    A 93-92 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night extended their league-leading losing streak to seven and further humbled the Bulls' fragile psyche.

    They have dropped four in a row at home and are 0-5 against Central Division foes.

    "I'm really embarrassed by what happened out there," coach Scott Skiles said. "I thought we came out in the second half and pretty much, we were as soft as I've seen."

    The Bulls let an 11-point lead slip away in the second half as the Bucks outscored them 30-18 in the third quarter.

    "We came out at halftime totally casual," Skiles said. "Just kind of winging the ball all over the place, acting as though they were going to give us the game. We've done this so many times now. The only word I can think of is unacceptable."

    For all their problems, the Bulls were down only six points with 1 minute 59 seconds remaining, but that's when Michael Sweetney missed two frees, eliciting groans from the crowd of 20,968. The Bulls recovered behind Chris Duhon's driving layup and Andres Nocioni's rebound basket of a missed layup by Ben Gordon, closing within 91-89.

    "We had control," said Gordon, who tied his season high with 28 points. "We just didn't make the right decisions."</div>

    skiles should be embarassed he hasn't been very impressive as a coach this year and he is turning into George Karl trying to use calling out and trash talking his own team as a new method of coaching.

    I would not go that far. Skiles had a winning season with this same team last year. He signed an extension this summer. He has enough good will, and money invested in him to survive a losing season.
