If the NBA regular season ended today,explicit sex scenes in mainstream movies the Chicago Bulls would be playoff-bound, but, yeah: that isfarfrom the full story.
Despite a star-studded lineup and high expectations, the Bulls are a mess of bad blood and bitterness, barely hanging on to playoff contention. That ill will peaked after Wednesday night's loss, which saw the Bulls drop a 10-point lead with three minutes left. Speaking to reporters, co-captains Dwayne Wade and Jimmy Butler ripped the rest of the team for not caring enough.
On Thursday, teammate Rajon Rondo fired back.
On Instagram.

In a lengthy caption, he wrote that his "vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team."
He added that the young guys on the Bulls "don't deserve the blame ... If anything is questionable, it's the leadership."
His words are clearly a nod to Wade and Butler, who combined for 73 of the Bulls' 114 points on Wednesday, and said things like "I want to play with guys who care" and "It just doesn't mean enough to guys around here" to reporters after the tough loss.
My vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team. My vets didn't pick and choose when they wanted to bring it. They brought it every time they stepped in the gym whether it was practice or a game. They didn't take days off. My vets didn't care about their numbers. My vets played for the team. When we lost, they wouldn't blame us. They took responsibility and got in the gym. They showed the young guys what it meant to work. Even in Boston when we had the best record in the league, if we lost a game, you could hear a pin drop on the bus. They showed us the seriousness of the game. My vets didn't have an influence on the coaching staff. They couldn't change the plan because it didn't work for them. I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable. It takes 1-15 to win. When you isolate everyone, you can't win consistently. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a bad teammate. My goal is to pass what I learned along. The young guys work. They show up. They don't deserve blame. If anything is questionable, it's the leadership.
Rondo's resilience is commendable, but also largely hypocritical. He's angry at Wade and Butler for roasting their teammates in the media, yet Rondo is doing the exact same thing on social media.
As for what Wade said to the media after Wednesday's loss? Per ESPN:
“We can play bad, we can miss shots, but we’re having too many of these lapses," he said. "We’re having too many of these losses. This just can’t be acceptable if you want to do something besides have an NBA jersey on and make some money. That’s all we’re doing around here."
He also posted this on Wednesday night.

So here we have a promising team led by a trio of top talent—Butler, Wade and Rondo have 19 All-Star nods, four championship rings and more than $50 million in annual salary between them—that has resorted to slinging subliminal messages in the media.
Wade is right. Something has to change.
But it should probably start with these millionaire veterans working out team issues internally, not a social media war better reserved for teenagers.
