Preparing for the worst: Chicago Bulls

ChicagoBulls



Two weeks into the regular season and I'm not feeling good about some teams I really thought- and wanted- to do real good this year. As a fan, as a blogger, you want some things to happen: you want young teams to stick together and reach their potential together. You want franchise player to be a player that plays for only one franchise in his career that takes his team from lottery to the promise land.


I've seen three Chicago Bulls games so far this season and I say can without a doubt that they need help. Luol Deng needs help. The worst thing is that Kobe is not the solution sure he can help, he can help a lot but the Bulls need an inside presence. They need somebody that can consistently make baskets from the low post, draw a double team here and there and for the love of God, stop running an offense based on jump shoot and crazy uncontrolled drives to the basket.


They have lots of shooters but nobody to create space for them. They only have two inconsistent scorers in Deng and Gordon and calling Gordon inconsistent it's me being nice guy .This year, they actually have quality big men on Ben Wallace, Tyrus Thomas, Joe Smith and the rook Noah, but outside Smith they bring 0 (nada) offensive skills to the court. They are all great defenders and rebounders and bring a lot of energy and heart to the team but sadly somebody need to score in order to win games, you know that's point, right?


I do see Kobe playing with this team before February. I do see Wallace, Gordon, Noah and Sefolosha in a Lakers uniform. I do see Wallace in a Texas uniform before the playoffs. I don't see a championship in Chicago with Kobe in town
