Following Friday's 114-94 loss to Toronto, the two Bulls captains who played in the game, Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng, ducked out of the locker room without speaking to reporters. Other Bulls were seen in the hallways chatting amiably with friends. Bulls' coach Vinny Del Negro is concerned about some players having the right attitude towards winning as they ride a four game losing streak, the Daily Herald is reporting."I think that comes with leadership and with frustration. But, yeah, a lot of things bother me," Del Negro said. "You can't think you're going to be able to control everything. We have to find the guys who want to work and believe in what we're doing and how we want to play.
"We have a lot of different scenarios on this team we're trying to deal with, and at the same time try to go in the right direction. There's a lot on the plate right now. You've just got to figure things out as you go forward."
Co-captain Drew Gooden, who has been on some bad teams, disagrees with his coach.
"This is not a team with a losing attitude," Gooden said. "I've been on a team (Orlando in 2003-04) when we lost 19 in a row and we were laughing before the game and we were laughing afterward. It was just a joke to us. This is not a team that's not taking it seriously. We are taking it seriously."
