But their first preseason game Tuesday signaled a disconnect between that game plan and the team’s offensive reality without starting point guard Lonzo Ball.shouldn’t be cause for panic, but the Bulls showed significant stagnancy in offensive creation. This was severely aggravated by the New Orleans Pelicans’ 70% shooting in the first half, which forced the Bulls to advance the ball in half-court offense.

Last season’s offense began with a bang, fueled by the precision of Ball at point guard.
