@ BoppinBob yes I am and do back Da bulls fully yet I am also not gonna turn the eye when i think that the team may be lacking in certain area’s and yes the stat’s do’t lie and they are one of the NBA’S best on D statistically but it worries me becaomes I know stats can be some what untrue or at least not totally acurate to sum up the actuall abitlity of our team, yes they are true and Elite but still missing something maybe a key player or two, but this year none the less is gonna be so exciting to watch as a bulls fane for sure…. thanks BoppinBob for the great quote’s………….

chitown, I guess having the second best defensive ranking in the league means “the team seemingly aint really doing a steller job at stopping other teams hmmm…” Granted, there has been a lack of consistency, allowing Cleveland 61 pts in the first half and then holding them to 30 in the second half, (an extreme example). But it is interesting that the Bulls are second to the Celtics who have been playing Thibs defense for a few years as opposed to a few months for the Bulls. How good can the Bulls become defensively? Enough to challenge for a campionship this season? I believe it is possible, especially with a healthy Noah back.

It was nice to see you write that the Bulls are capable of competing with the “elite” teams and are therefore an elite team.

@Tony C.- yes, I think our defense is much better than last year’s, and I credit Tibs for that, he has made a huge impact already.

@TBF and C-Lo-The Great- I agree we really miss Noah on defense. Boozer is a great rebounder, but he is not a shot blocker and has lots of problems with help defense. We are giving up a lot more easy shots without Joe in the middle. Kurt is doing great for us, but he doesn’t have the quickness that Joe brings.

D-Fence! *waves middle fingers*

Not to excuse the Bulls lack of energy sometimes on the offensive end (thus letting inferior teams compete) but give these other teams some credit. It seems these “lesser” teams are coming at the Bulls HARD. I mean the Bulls are still scoring 90-100 points, so is it really the offensive? The Bulls defense as mentioned in the article has been on par. So what is it? I think a lot of is respect. The Bulls are a good team with 3 allstar caliber players and a MVP candidate. Teams get up to the play the Bulls now unlike in years past.

I just think the Bulls have gotten weaker defensively just because Noah is gone. Still we need better effort on defensive side. There is no excuse for having close games to New Jersey and Clevland because they had key players out as well. But as the cliche goes a win is a win. 22-10 is one hell of a record.

“…aint much changed with the teams scoring on us …”

You’re joking, right? This team is light years better defensively than the VDN teams.

Well well finally somebody is noticing what I have said in my past blogs about coach t and him being a d coach but yet the team seemingly aint really doing a steller job at stopping other teams hmmm, imagine that all those who hoped VDN was gone now we got a D coach and well seems to me aint much changed with the teams scoring on us i aint, gonna let our new coach off the hook of something he is suppose to be a specialist at more to come about this in the future…………

I’m just worried that everyone’s gonna spend so much time scanning a the clear blue sky for clouds that they forget to enjoy the sunshine.

Bulls are winning right now, without their second-best player. I’m sorry, Noah’s the glue that makes the team go much more so than Boozer is. The offense is struggling because we have no one who can contribute the 13 a night in points that Noah chips in. I like that the old man is chipping in and Asik is looking better game by game by Noah is just someone we can’t replace right now.

But hey, we’re still winning. Let’s enjoy it, folks.
