Bulls Slow Start Not A Surprise

Bulls Trying to Mesh New With Old
We’re now officially one week into the 2006-2007 NBA season and the Chicago Bulls are off to what can only be considered as an inconsistent start. The Bulls are struggling to find their rhythm as they try and successfully integrate newcomers Ben Wallace, PJ Brown, Tyrus Thomas, and Sefolosha, with veteran Bulls, Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich, and Luol Deng.

The results so far have been less than encouraging for Bulls fans. However, the season is very young and it would be premature and unconscionable to start unloading your Bulls tickets this early. In fact, the Bulls are probably where they thought they would be after one week of action; 2-3. The biggest concern to this point is the inconsistency in which the Bulls have played. Blow-out wins over Miami and Milwaukee have been overshadowed by lackluster performances at Cleveland and a late-game collapse against Sacramento.

The Bulls need to get their business in order before they embark on a seven game, 11 day road trip; their longest of the season. The Bulls schedule has them traversing the country where they’ll face six teams that advanced to last year’s play-offs.

This could be the true litmus test for a team searching for its identity. If the Bulls return to the comfy confines of the United Center with an overall record hovering at or above .500, then you can consider the road trip very successful.

Whether you’re planning to catch the Bulls in one of the seven cities they will visit during this ridiculously long road trip or you are counting the days until they return to the United Center; make StubHub your first stop when buying Chicago Bulls tickets.
