Chicago Bulls Early Season Review

I have watched most games the Bulls this season. The highlight for the Bulls is clearly the play of Derrick Rose. Derrick has tremendous speed and can take the ring to most players. Derrick is 6'-3 ", so he got over most guards, when he has to jump a 40" vertical. In watching Derrick, he has an extra gear when he needs them.

Derrick also the ball with both hands. I expect, Derrick will show further improvements, such as his confidence grows. I have great expectationsDerrick and he can become an All-Star and a great player for many seasons with the Bulls.

Derrick needs to improve his defense, and he has had too many turnovers. Derrick needs to improve his outside shot too. I am very happy and satisfied with his play at the beginning of the season. Derrick is only 20 and played only one year in Memphis.

I saw in the second half of the last game against Cleveland. The Bulls did not play badly, but she could not stop LeBron in the fourth quarter.LeBron scored 41 points and the Bulls could not stop him alone. Ben had another good scoring game with 29 points.

The biggest problem for the Bulls was clearly indicated by Kenny Smith on TNT. The Bulls do not have a low post option so they do not throw the ball in the low post. The absence of a dual option prevents that a two-man game that can play most teams. The Bulls do not have someone to attack the tire and then the ball back outside for an open shot.

The Bulls are notin accordance with their offense. You do not have too many shots and not directly to the ball in the basket and proceed to the evil line. Derrick is our only player who can draw the defense to him if he drives to the basket. The Bulls are still one of the worst shooting team in the league. The Bulls missed too many open shots.

The Bulls have now lost Captain Kirk for up to 3 months, will hurt the team. Kirk is not in line every night, but he can run the offense and hit some outsideShots. Our best shot is clearly Ben Gordon, but he is undersized and his defense is not very good.

Luol Deng gave the Bulls a new contract and his play was inconsistent. I think Luol has great skill, and he must be more aggressive. He can shoot the outside jumper, and he can drive to the basket. We need more of Luol stop the offensive.

I'm hard with the play of Drew Gooden, as he plays and does a good job on the board happy. Drew can score but does not havea good low-post game. I am disappointed very satisfied with the poor shooting of Tyrus Thomas. He can play good defense and rebound and block some shots but he is inconsistent.

As for the center position, we can not expect to be successful game, a Drew Gooden. We are not always much of Joakim Noah and he has no shot. He can play defense and rebound, but he is a decent backup in my opinion. What Aaron Gray, he is simply too slow in all aspects of the game.

I hope thatLarry Hughes can give us some scoring when he returns from his injury. Thabo should go back to the bench as his shooting is very poor. I am happy with the play of Noch off the bench. He can score when he is hot and hit the 3 point shot. He also plays hard and does a good job on defense.

I do not expect the Bulls to make the playoffs this year. I am expecting them to win something in the range of 35 games. The Bulls should be in the draft lottery again next year and we need to draft a post Player. I am disappointed that the Bulls have not made as a brand.

The cops should be made a trade out of season. It can be difficult to make a deal, but now we should try anyway. The fact that Gasol had to act last year, a mistake. We know that Jerry refused the deal because of the pay with a luxury tax. I believe that Jerry has always been more interested in winning money, and spend as little money.

I also place blame on Paxson like most of his intervenesDisappointment. The Bulls, we need some changes next year if they remain competitive and again in the playoffs. The upcoming West Coast road trip is probably a disaster for the Bulls. I hope I'm wrong, but I fear this will be a long season for the Bulls fans.
