The Chicago Bulls are slowly gearing up for the 2007-2008 season and basketball critics are almost positive that they’ll make it to the playoffs this year. The real question, according to Joel Brigham at Hoopsworld.com, is whether they will make it to the Eastern Conference Finals and possibly the championship round. It’s a sure thing that Luol Deng will be one of Chicago’s star players this season, as he’s been tearing up the court for Great Britain all summer. Other key players this year are Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, and of course Ben Wallace. This line-up is sure to drive the Bulls to victory; the question is how the rest of the team will hold up.
The Bulls have won six NBA championships since their beginning in 1966, all of which came with the help of all-star Michael Jordan. This year making the finals depends on the new additions to Chicago – Aaron Gray, Joakim Noah, Tyrus Thomas, and Joe Smith. As long as Chicago maintains good morale and manages to develop and improve as a team, their playoff prospects are looking pretty bright. Let’s hope the Bulls are the team that represents the east in the finals this season.
