The Chicago Bulls came into Madison Square Garden on Friday night as one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA.
The Bulls’ defense allows 121.6 points per game this season, the third-most in the association, and it was a topic of conversation for New York Knicks legend turned broadcaster Walt “Clyde” Frazier.
But apparently, he had an interesting choice of words when discussing the Bulls to others.
“Mike, I was talking to my friends, man, and I was talking about ‘eradicated,’ ‘obliterated,’ ‘devastated,'” Fazier said as the game tipped off.
“They thought I was talking about Iran. But I was talking about the Bulls.”
Play-by-play man Mike Breen could not help but let out an, “Oh jeez.”

Iran, of course, has been a war zone since late February after the United States and Israel launched a joint military campaign against the country, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials.
Frazier made note that the Bulls had allowed 145 points to the Indiana Pacers, 157 to the Philadelphia 76ers, and an average of around 135 during their five-game losing streak.
“Oh jeez. That’s how you start a telecast?”

The five-game average was par for the course for Chicago, who allowed 136 to the Knicks in a 40-point loss.
Chicago is 29-48 and in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, as they will soon find out their fate in the NBA Draft lottery.
