Bulls: Third most Likely Team to Turn it Around

The Chicago Bulls might be back in business. While on the road in Charlotte, the Bulls got another win, this time against the not-half-bad Charlotte Bobcats. The Bulls won 106-93, pulling away at the end of the game with a 31-point fourth quarter. The Bulls’ new head coach, Jim Boylan, has been inserting Joakim Noah into the starting lineup to stiffen up the defense, using Ben Gordon off the bench to provide a scoring spark when needed. So far, the strategy has worked. The Bulls are playing more fluidly on offense, and they appear to be an improved team on the glass, as well.

All of the recent changes- the new coach, the new starting lineup, and a new year- have Marty Burns at SportsIllstrated.com believing that the Bulls are one of the most likely teams in the NBA to turn around their bad start in 2008. The Jazz and the Cavs were the only two teams that Burns throught would have a more likely shot at righting their respective ships. You should check it out if you feel like getting pumped about the future of the team in ’08.

Bulls Busy over Holiday Season

While the Bulls have been playing plenty of games over the Holiday Season, the Bulls Bloggers have been settled in for long winter’s naps and celebrating the New Year. But never fear, we’re back to action today, set to start 2008 off with a recap of the action that you might have missed if you were enjoying the break from the daily grind. Let’s take a look at what the Bulls have been up to.

Starting last Wednesday, the Bulls have played four games in six days, going 2-2 over New Year’s Weekend. Chicago lost humiliatingly to the Spurs after Skiles got fired. Then they won against Milwaukee and New York, but lost on New Year’s Eve to the Orlando Magic in overtime. The Bulls were off on New Year’s day, but they will return to action tonight and tomorrow when they play Charlotte and Portland, respectively. Then on Saturday they are slated to play the Sacramento Kings. If the Bulls can get wins against the Blazers and Sacramento, which shouldn’t be too tall of an order, they will come out of this two week stretch with a solid 4-3 record, despite the coach distractions. Of course, right now it’s one game at a time. The Bulls should be focusing on Charlotte right now, because the Hornets are playing very well so far this year.
