No way you bench boozer for taj. There is a reason Taj gets the attention and credit he does… because he comes off the bench. Thats not even considering the mental aspect of benching boozer…. who knows what that would do to his confidence/ability to deal with thibs

[...] That said…remember that the healing process is expected to take eight to 12 months. Also keep in mind that team owner Jerry Reinsdorf has made it clear that the team will not bring Rose back without full medical clearance. [...]

I agree LetsGoBulls!! Bench Boozer and start Taj. CJ was awful in the playoffs, offensively and defensively. I think Kirk will be better there also. Nazr has always been pretty lame, unfortunately, and won’t add up to much more than 6 fouls. Bellinelli may be ok. It’s wait-and-see with him. Ronnie Brewer was great defensively, but a liability on offense. Overall the bench mob was a great defensive unit, but challenged offensively. Would’ve been great to have one bonafide scorer coming off of the bench. Radmonivic has been done since he left the Lakers. I think that was a terrible signing.

put Boozer on the bench and start Taj. That should boost our bench play (well not really; its Boozer) and improve our Starting 5 production. Also Kirk is a better backup than CJ in my opinion.

The bench certainly took a downgrade: From Omer Asik to Nazr Mohammed, from Kyle Korver to Vlad Radmanovic, From Ronnie Brewer to Roberto Bellinelli and from CJ Watson to Nate Robinson. With a team like that with no Derrick Rose, I doubt the Bulls will win their division let alone reach the Finals.
