The Chicago Bulls are going to have a very tough road ahead of them. They begin the season without the Heart and Soul of there team Derrick Rose. However, they have a talented enough team to stay a float until Rose comes back. That means that other players (not named Rose) are going to have to step up in his absence. One of the biggest keys will be how does Carlos Boozer play, because since he has arrived in Chicago he has vastly underachieved. When he played for the Utah Jazz a couple of years ago he was one of the best big men in the league. He combined his long range game with an extremely great understanding of how to use his big body to get tough rebounds.
The Bulls Projected Starting lineups looks like this:
PG. Kirk Hinrich
SG. Richard Hamilton
SF. Luol Deng
PF. Carlos Boozer
C. Joakim Noah
Sports Illustrated's Projection for the Bulls is that they will finish 7th in the Eastern. I would have to agree with this although I think that they are a better team then the Atlanta Hawks. (who are ranked ahead of them) However the Bulls will take there bruises early on in the season, especially since they have a very tough schedule early on in the season. Next up will be the Cleveland Cavaliers.
