		<description><![CDATA[This team still isn&#039;t built to win a championship. Chicago fans can talk bench mobs all the want to, but in the playoffs (which are what matters, not regular-season wins) the bench players, especially this new group of has-beens and never-weres aren&#039;t going to get it done. You&#039;re telling me that in a 7 game series with Miami or OKC or the Lakers we&#039;re supposed to rely on contributions from Nazr Mohammed? From Marco Belinelli? From Rip Hamilton&#039;s ancient body? From Taj&#039;s on again-off again contributions? From Noah? Where&#039;s the offense going to come from?

Meanwhile they have LeBron and Wade slamma-jamming over Boozer&#039;s matador defense. Not gonna work. This team needs more superstars. Not retreads from other teams we bought for bargain basement prices because we panicked and overpayed for Boozer, who&#039;s a second-tier player on his best nights.  


We need more star players. Boozer isn&#039;t that. What makes me mad isn&#039;t that he only has a &quot;good&quot; game once in a while. It isn&#039;t that you can run the raw stats and come up with the fact that he&#039;s still playing &quot;well&quot;. It&#039;s that he refuses to play back to the basket and get the inside scoring that this team desperately needs. We basically payed a zillion dollars for a 6&#039;8 jump-shooter. We had that already, his name is Luol Deng.

I&#039;m telling you right now, look at the facts and look at history. This team will *not* win a championship with just D-Rose and a bunch of supporting cast players. They need another superstar, and until they find a way to snare one, by hook or by crook, they&#039;ll always be a good regular season team and a mope in the playoffs. They go all out, busting a gut to rack up 60 wins in the regular season, but when it comes down to the playoffs and it&#039;s a battle of superstar players there are way too many stacked teams for D-Rose to be able to carry us past.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With 6-7 new guys on the floor it will take time for the Bulls to mesh.  But they will mesh much quicker than they did in 2010 because there are more guys with experience in the system.  

The Bulls offense has no relation to the Utah offense Boozer played in.  Although with DRose out that may change some.  The starter offense will primaryly come from Deng, Boozer and Hamilton.  Who the leading scorer is will change by the game depending on the hot hand and what the defense is giving them.  Every once in a while Hinrich and Noah with surprize.  Gibson, Butler, Mohammad and Robinson will provide the bulk of the scoring for the second unit early as every one settles in.  Belinelli and the Rad-man will occassionalyy provide a boost.]]></description>
