The Chicago Bulls Frontcourt is Offensive for All the Wrong Reasons

—

After calling for change in the Chicago Bulls backcourt in Thabo Sefolosha’s shout-out above, it may seem like I’m piling on a team that’s obviously in transition and shouldn’t be held to any kind of expectations at this early point in the season. So if it does seem that way, it’s because ...

Bulls X-Factor

— zonersports.com — There were a lot of things to like about the Bulls’ opener against the Bucks. Derrick Rose’s... debut, of course. The Bulls’ 44 free throw attempts. But one player really stood out. (more) Bulls X-Factor

Orlando Magic 96, Chicago Bulls 93: know your role

— blogabull.com — This was very 2007. Thomas (16.5 minutes) and Noah (5) barely played. The 3-guard lineup was used... a lot, they folded late. And the Magic beat the Bulls, as they did in every meeting between them last season. To be fair to Vinny, Nocioni was ... (more) Orlando Magic 96, Chicago Bulls 93: know your role

— kornheiserscartel.com — It may be the vogue thing to question Chicago's pick of Rose in the 2008 draft, but... he could very well bring the Bulls back to the top of the league. (more) Chicago Bulls Can Again Become a Dynasty With Derrick Rose

Youf Services: Early Season Observations
2nd Round Reach - NBA and Fantasy Basketball Commentary for the Truly Obsessed — ... ... After putting up a tremendously misleading opening-season game (15 points and 10 boards on 50% from the field with 2 steals and a block), he spent the weekend chucking bricks (2-for-22 in 2 games) and wreaking havoc on D (7 blocks and 2 steals.) My expectations for Joakim Noah were 7 rebounds with a block and a steal per game. He hasn't quite met that, and that's because he hasn't asserted himself as the startin C without question. Still, Empty the Bench evaluates the Bulls frontcourt, and I still don't see who's gonna stop him from ...

Tonight's Game: Chicago Bulls vs. Orlando Magic
Third Quarter Collapse — ... If there's anything that swings in the Magic's favor, it's their advantage at the power positions. Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah record blocks and rebounds, but their man-to-man defense isn't always superb, and they're going to need to play out of their gourds if they hope to stop Dwight Howard. And it's not as though they're going to get back on offense what they give up on defense. Neither player is an offensive weapon, meaning Dwight should once again feel free to roam the paint for weak-side rejections. Hopefully he'll be able to welcome Rose to the league with ...
