Da Bulls

Going into the season, Chicago fans must have been real anxious to see how their squad would carry over after their epic 7 game series with Boston last season. A healthy Luol Deng, an All-Star in D-rose, and an exciting young nucleus to work with. The biggest surprise this year was the emergence of 3rd year player Joakim Noah, who was one of the top rebounders in the league before he went down with injury. The Bulls were on a 5 game win streak at the time, but since then have been 8-10 and riding a 5 game losing streak. They also seem to be a victim of the 2010 free agent class, where they have dumped young players such as Tyrus Thomas to clear money in hopes of bringing Mr Wade or a Chris Bosh into Chi-Town...Good luck...The Bulls have been struck also with recent injuries to Deng and rookie Taj Gibson, which couldn't have come at a worse time for them. With just 19 games left the Bulls find themselves just out of the playoff picture by 1 game behind Miami, Charlotte, and Toronto. I can see them making a strong push to barely get in, but don't expect them to to get past the first round this year Chicago fans....If they can bring in a MAX Salary player next year then watch out, but if not...then like most Chicago sports fans say these days "there's always next year...."
