One More Preseason Game to Go for Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have one more preseason game remaining on their schedule before the regular season begins on October 31st. The other night the Bulls lost to the Dallas Mavericks in an exhibition game, and tonight they will play the Milwaukee Bucks, which will be the last time you can see the Bulls in action on the court when nothing really counts. The Bulls’ first game of the season will be on the road at New Jersey, but after that, you can begin to see the Bulls finally take the court in Chicago. There are some very good reasons to be optimistic about this upcoming season. The Bulls will return most of the players who got them to the second round of the playoffs last year, they improved over the offseason, and they are all a year more experienced. There is no reason to think that this team can’t get a few more wins, and perhaps even take the Central division title.

One question that remains for the Bulls is: who will become the fifth person on the opening game starting roster? You can be sure that Kirk, Ben G., Luol and Ben W. will be out there, but the power forward position remains up for grabs. The players vying for the spot are Joe Smith, Aaron Gray, Joakim Noah and Tyrus Thomas. K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune seems to think that Scott Skiles might be leaning towards Gray. The Bulls are deep at that position right now, and can sub out for better offensive or defensive production from their bench no matter who they start come Halloween.
