What Chicago Bulls fans should expect in the upcoming season?


Many Chicago Bulls fans watched last season go up in smoke. After the injury to Derrick Rose in the previous season’s playoffs, many fans had mixed emotions on his return. It was an issue that divided the city much like that over which baseball team is better(Cubs or White Sox). The team had an up and down season going into the playoffs which saw the team win a hard fought first round series against the Brooklyn Nets, to the loss against the Miami Heat in the Eastern conference semi finals. While it was a brutal season for most fans to watch, the team made basketball lovers from around the league proud of the short handed Bulls play without it’s best players on the court.Now we look to the future. Fan favorites from last season Marco Belinelli and Nate Robinson will most likely move on to other teams after having strong showing last season. So what will make this season end different from last year? Truthfully nothing. TheBulls will have another strong showing in the regular season, a deep run in the playoffs, and will fall short to the Miami Heat. The good news is this could be the final step into unlocking a team built for a dynasty.

Chicago Bulls upper management learn a valuable lesson from watching the San Antonio Spursbattle the Miami Heat in last season’s finals, you can never have enough shooters. The Spurs used the Miami Heats aggressive nature on defense to take open shots from long range. The Bulls main targets this post season has been to improve their weak three point shooting. In the draft the Bulls selected Tony Snelland Erik Murphy while singing Mike Dunleavy jr via free agency. Each move improves long range shooting for a team who ranked near the bottom of the league in three point shooting, and also adds versatility off of the bench. The moves also put to question will the team resign Luol Deng or amnesty Carlos Boozer after next season. Next years free agency could involve names like Carmelo AnthonyLebron James, and Kobe Bryant each who could lift the Chicago Bulls to the NBA finals. Click here for the full article.
