Opponents are torching the Bulls' perimeter defenders, getting into the paint at will. From there it doesn't even matter if they make their shots, because the Bulls 1) the Bulls' "help" defenders foul incessantly on reach-ins, 2) if the shot does go up the defense is out of position to get the rebound, and 3) the Bulls are dinky and bad rebounders (except for Giddey) to begin with.
The last 3 games have been just awful - conceded 143 to Miami, 120 to the Wizards (tied for Washington's season high during a regular season game), and 143 points to the Pelicans (19 points more than the Pelicans' previous season high).
