Chicago capped of a tremendous final few months of the season to claim the best record in the NBA and home court throughout the playoffs. Al Dannity says this team is good enough to win it all despite inexperience in the post-season.
Every Derrick Rose has its thorn And he’s sticking them into the hides of every opponent in sight. When the Bulls saw their other stars take significant time off with injury, one man stepped up and refused to let Chicago slip down the standings. Derrick Rose may have saved his most explosive play for the final two months of the year but he’s delivered MVP performances right from the start of the season. If the Bulls are looking for a leader in the playoffs, they’ve got one in the youthful but confident Rose. Chicago can win when the chips are down if Rose delivers.
Boozer and Noah add aggressive streak There’s been an extra bite to Chicago this season. Joakim Noah already gave the team a solid defensive presence but the bruising addition of Carlos Boozer has made a stunning difference. The former Utah Jazz man has found a kindred spirit in Noah. Together they are greater than the sum of their parts. For NBA betting fans this means Chicago can seriously hamper their opponents’ offensive efficiency. That’s the kind of presence a contender needs in order to stay in the playoffs for the long run.
One series win and the questions disappear The one issue hanging over these Bulls is the failure of the current squad to win a playoff series. None of Chicago’s players have won a series while wearing a Bulls uniform, although Boozer has previously played in the Western Conference Finals with Utah. The Pacers present the perfect opponent for Chicago to do away with this lone doubt surrounding their current stars. This was once an inexperienced line-up that was ill-prepared for the playoffs. Now Chicago has a team capable of taking on the best the NBA has to offer.
