The flailing Chicago Bulls lost to the Atlanta Hawks 119-114 last night, after blowing a nine point lead with three minutes left.
After the game, both Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler criticized their other teammates for lack of effort.
"I'm 35 years old, man. I've got three championships. It shouldn't hurt me more than it hurts these young guys. They have to want it. If they don't want it, then we'll show up and play Friday. Hopefully, we win; if we don't, we [do it] again. Keep it going until the season's over. It has to change. It has to hurt inside to lose games like this. This s--- should f---ing hurt," Wade said.

"If you're not (mad) after you lose every game, something's wrong," Butler said. ''This is your job. This is supposed to be what you love to do. Not everybody looks at it this way."Everybody assumed Wade and Butler were at least partially criticizing their teammate Rajon Rondo, who always marches to the beat of his own drummer.
So Rondo, who rarely posts on IG, fired back.
So far, Wade has passive aggressively liked Rondo's post.

Bulls management should have seen this coming when they put alpha dogs Rondo, Wade and Butler on the same squad.
