A Look at the Chicago Bulls Upcoming Season

The Chicago Bulls didn’t manage to acquire Kevin Garnett this season, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t be kicking it into high gear when the season starts in October. The Bulls General Manager John Paxson is content with the schedule for the 2007-2008 season, just as he is with their failed efforts to obtain Garnett. Garnett ended up with the Boston Celtics and Paxson said of his trade talks with the Minnesota Timberwolves, “All I can say is that I had many conversations with Minnesota, but I don’t know if we were ever close…Some people will never understand the myriad of scenarios that are discussed and ultimately why a team does what it does.” It seems that all Bulls fans understand is that Garnett is not there, but hopeful newcomers like JamesOn Curry and Joakim Noah are giving fans something to smile about.

The Bulls first game will be played on Halloween night at New Jersey. Their first home game is against the Philadelphia 76ers on November 2nd. The Bulls will play four games on their first West Coast trip with a break for Thanksgiving and then a trip to New York where they will face the Knicks. They will have 20 back-to-backs, which is lower than years past, and the first one is set for November 17-18 at the Staples Center where they will face the Los Angeles Clippers and the Lakers. There will be no Texas trip for the Bulls this year due to their losses at San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas last year. On December 8th they will play the Boston Celtics at the United Center, where they will face their once hopeful teammate Garnett. The team’s second six-game road trip begins on January 30th in Minnesota. There are 30 television appearances scheduled for the Bulls this season, so there are plenty of chances to catch their games.
