Bulls' chairman Jerry Reinsdorf believes that the team has been a failure so far this season.

"You want the grade up 'til today?" Reinsdorf said. "What's the lowest grade you can give? This has been a disaster. It's embarrassing. But it will get better."

Coach Vinny Del Negro took the comments in full stride prior to the team's win over the Kings on Friday night.

"Managing expectations is the hardest thing in this business," Del Negro said. "They didn't win 60 games last year. They didn't have a rookie point guard. They didn't have the injuries we've had."
