Bulls Schedule Released

The NBA has released the 2008-2009 schedule.  The Bulls will open the season at home against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 28.  This game will mark the debut of number one overall pick Derrick Rose.  It’s uncertain whether Rose will be the starting point guard by then, but just seeing him in a Bulls uniform should have Chicago fans pumped.  Bulls fans should also prepare to see a more focused Luol Deng embark on what this blogger believes will be his best season yet.  He knows he’s locked up long-term with the Bulls and he’ll be ready to bring it.

The Bulls follow up their opener with a trip to Boston to face the defending champion Celtics.  The day after Christmas, the Bulls will travel to Miami where Rose will face off against Michael Beasley.  The debate on whether the Bulls made the right choice in selecting Rose over Beasley will surely rage on for years, but this matchup will be the first look fans get of them on the same court.  The Bulls have 10 nationally televised games this season, three of which will feature Rose vs. Beasley and two of which will be against LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
