The Chicago Bulls recently unveiled their NBA 2024-25 schedule. Fans have been waiting for this to happen long after an offseason filled with uncertainty. For team fans, the release of the schedule provided insight into what lies ahead as they now embark on a pivotal season with much at stake and high expectations.

Chicago Bulls Schedule

The one date that stands out on the Bulls' calendar is January 12th, when ex-Bulls leader DeMar DeRozan makes his way back to their city. Last year's soul and heart of the Bulls, DeRozan, is still adored by fans. His return will be both nostalgic and bittersweet as it gives hope that perhaps life can continue without him.

Chicago Bulls Prediction: Possible Winning Season for the Team

Chicago Bulls v Miami Heat - Play-In Tournament

Despite ten years of mediocrity, there are reasons to be cautiously optimistic about this campaign being different for the Bulls. The front office has acknowledged the need for urgency and made some moves during this off-season, which they hope will help change their fortunes. Although these changes may not propel them to the top level in the league rankings, it is believed that they would enable them to end up with a winning record again like last year despite having narrowly missed.

The Chicago fans badly want a post-season experience once again, and this time around, it appears as if they are well set to get one. Consequently, fans might find themselves battling through play-in tournament again, but predicting that Chicago will make it into playoffs should make more sense than in the previous two seasons. However, fans should not expect too much since another first-round exit looks highly likely following many other postseason disappointments.

This is a make-or-break year for Chicago with an unforgiving schedule and restless fans. The question remains whether the roster changes made during the offseason will be enough to meet these high standards. But one thing is sure: Bulls fans are looking forward to witnessing this closely in anticipation of a season that ends this long spell of agony.
