Reality is settling in nicely.

Good breakdown in the rest of your post, Transplant. However, I see the underlined as a big "if". We have been waiting for this team to stay healthy for years & it hasn't happened. I'm not blaming it solely on Noah, Kirk, Taj, & Deng.......I'm pointing the finger at Rose, as well.

I'm not freaking out over 4 games. I've always stated that Rose will not be back to form until around the all-star break & I don't believe that Noah is fully healthy/conditioned yet. It's gonna take some time.

The issue that I have is that we have no one that's capable of carrying the load while Rose shakes off the rust & effects from the ACL tear. When a team is equipped with a #2 consistent scorer, they're able to maintain until the franchise player is back to form. We don't have that luxury & that falls on GarPax, IMHO.

Why was there so much discussion about OKC? Who cares what they did?

This is about the Bulls and they need offensive help. This is not going to cut it. Their game plan seems to be a few weave plays, pick and roll, and Give Rose the ball and everybody get out of the way. That's not going to beat anybody come playoff time. They a set offensive system, like the Triangle. (Note: I'm NOT saying they need the triangle, I'm throwing a name out there for an example.) Or a the Princeton Offense. I'm just naming schemes, not saying they need those specific ones. (Some people don't understand context)

And when will they get Rose a capable scorer? They should look at Ferdette or somebody that won't cost much, but can shoot. They don't need a superstar, they just need someone to take pressure off of Rose. Dunleavey ain't it. Kirk ain't it, and Butler could be, but he's not there now. Time to move the Dookies and get some real players in here. This experiment with using Dook players has failed and will continue to fail.

So this team isn't good enough...because of Duke players??? WTF? What a horrid opinion.

Boozer, Deng and Dunleavy belong in the YMCA over 30 league, so he has a point.

Enough of the non-athletic, slow, clumsy cerebral players. Get some guys in here who can run, jump and score off the dribble for a change.

I never pay attention to that idiotic blowhard. He took only that ONE thing I said and ignored the rest. And for the record, how many championships and Finals berths have we made with these Duke players we signed, drafted and traded for?

ZERO!!! That's how many. They aren't even good complimentary players at this point. He likes to go against whatever the board is saying and never, ever has his own original opinion or thought. All of his posts are regurgitated crap he heard on ESPN or Twitter, since he follows EVERY NBA columnist.

His point is stupid, as usual. So Boozer and Deng are not legit NBA players all of a sudden? When did this happen? After the first 5 games of the season? GTFOH! You sound like a bunch of immature kids. Give me a break.

You were saying this stuff a few years ago and I explained to you...I don't need cable television to tell me that you are an idiot. That is common sense.

No one on the team has looked good besides Boozer and Jimmy Butler(though in spurts). We have 1 player on the team that can create shots and that's the guy that sat out 99 straight games coming off of knee re-construction surgery. I like that we have built up our assets and have numerous ones, but it's time to cash in. I've said since I joined this board that we need to get Kevin Love some way. Even if we have to give up Noah, Jimmy, or maybe both it's worth it.

Word, Noah is not the player he was 3-4 years ago, and will have to sit soon to rest his feet. For a contract of his magnitude, the Bulls can do better. I don't think moving Butler is a good idea when we have players and draft picks to move. Basically, if the Bulls don't start playing better two months into the season, the Bulls need to start shopping Deng, Noah, Boozer and Taj in that order. Love would be a great acquisition, but I doubt he gets moved if Minnesota keeps winning.
