It's been a wild, furious journey for the Chicago Bulls to start their 2023-24 season. With a depressing standing so far, a non-stop barrage of rumors, chatter, and speculations from outside circles continue to pile up, which every player won't even deny to think about.

Inconsistencies and underwhelming offensive punches are the root cause of the problems, ultimately resulting in an abysmal 5-11 record that lands Chicago in the third-worst position in the Eastern Conference as of writing.

But despite the drama and outside noise that continues to revolve around them, the Bulls found plenty of reasons to be delighted and grateful for as the entire team celebrated this year's Thanksgiving Day in a heartwarming way.

More than a team-building

On the fourth Thursday of this month, the Bulls squad formed a circle to observe Thanksgiving Day dinner in Canada. The team's official page on Twitter posted a video that showed everyone grabbing a bite and enjoying their company themselves.

Several of the Bulls players were having a good time chatting and laughing with plenty of good food on their plate. Meanwhile, some even managed to be playful and crafty by participating in the charade game.

It has been a tradition that the Thanksgiving holiday is commemorated through dinner with family members. But what the Bulls conducted this Thursday only shows camaraderie, brotherhood, and warming positivity within the team that continues to weather through the storm.

In the wake of the depressing situation that their team is facing, every Bulls fan can at least be optimistic about this recent bonding as this can help them surpass their current on and off-court obstacles.

Back on the hardwood

After taking their Thanksgiving dinner, the Bulls will be back to business as they will face the Raptors in Toronto on Friday. Their encounter with the Raps will mark the second part of their four-game road trip.

Chicago will look to halt its current two-game losing skid. They already faced Toronto at the Scotiabank Arena in their second game of the season in late October, winning a close one in overtime.
