Billy Donovan’s team has picked up three consecutive victories over Eastern Conference squads that many projected to finish ahead of the Bulls this year. It’s made for the organization’s best start in four years … and it’s also made many hungry fans start to believe.

Look, the last thing I’m going to do is tell anyone not to be excited about an undefeated start. The Bulls are undeniably more fun to watch right now than they have been in years. I’ll take that! At the same time, we’re only one week into the season. There is a lot of basketball left to play, so staying level-headed is key.

Let’s discuss two stats that highlight why fans should be optimistic and two stats that remind us why we still have a lot to learn about this group. We’ll start with the positive.
