Dwyane Wade calls out Bulls fans for booing: ‘We’re out here trying’

The honeymoon phase of Dwyane Wade’s return to his hometown of Chicago appears to be over.

Before Wednesday’s home game against the Washington Wizards, Wade expressed his disappointment in the United Center faithful for booing the team in a 95-69 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks last Friday.

“I’m an honest guy. I was very disappointed our fans booed us,” Wade said to reporters, per Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago’s Vincent Goodwill. “We’re trying to figure it out. We win home games against Cleveland, San Antonio. And then we get our butts kicked against Milwaukee. I don’t think we deserved to get booed.

“We’re out here trying. I’d like to see more patience and support from everybody,” the three-time NBA champion continued. “Like I said at the beginning of the year, we’re not winning a championship today. We’re not winning a championship tomorrow. We got stages and levels to get to where we want to get to. And everyone gotta understand that.”

The Bulls managed to blowout the Detroit Pistons by the final of 113-82 on Monday but are still just 4-6 in the month of December to drop them to 14-13 on the year. Wade himself recently said that he wasn’t worried about the team’s recent struggles, but getting booed by your own home fans is a much bigger cause for concern, and Wade knows it.
