A Preview of the Young Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are coming off one of their best seasons this decade despite losing in the first round against the Boston Celtics.
Led by the skill of Ben Gordon and Luol Deng, this team was a force to be reckoned with. Ultimately, things collapsed in Chicago, which led to the firing of head coach Scott Skiles.
Vinny Del Negro has since assumed the role, and has slowly brought the team back to a competitive state. Del Negro had some success in the back office for the Suns, but he’s never been a head coach before.
The Bulls have one of the more exciting players in the NBA with Derrick Rose. Rose had a great rookie year and should improve even more this season.
John Salmons has his best season to date scoring’ points per game for the Bulls last season, the Bulls will need all the points they can get from him.
Teams in the Bulls division – Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons (w/ the exception being the Cleveland Cavaliers and maybe the Detroit Pistons) are not better then the Chicago Bulls.
The “Baby” Bulls have a touch act to follow but have good upside to their team. They might be one big man away from contending for the East title; also they need more low post scoring and limit their jump shots.
With Vinny Del Negro coming aboard, things could change this year. He knows the game extremely well, but has little experience as a coach. Time will tell, is it their year?
