@BoppinBob, I agree chitown4life makes many good points on this blog. Different opinions are the spice of life and everybody has a right to see things the way they do. I also agree the Bulls are playing very good defense. In fact I haven’t seen them play so consistently on both ends of the court since the Jordan days. Not to mention they have been without one of their best protectors of the rim in Noah. You make a great point that this unit and coach have only been together for a couple of months, it is pretty amazing to see things come together so quickly. I am just glad to be able to watch and root for a team playing good basketball!

Derrick Rose had a decent game, but not his usual self. I think he's injured a bit, or bruised. The Chicago Bulls schedule is pretty weak right about now except for Boston on Saturday, so the Bulls should whoop these teams.

@Savage, chitown4life makes many good points, but his opinion that the Bulls are playing poor defense and Thibs is not as good as some claim are disconserting. The only team playing better defense than the Bulls are the Celtics who have been using Thibs system for 2-3 years. How good can the Bulls defense get if they are only using this system for 2-3 months?

How are we gonna be able to pull this one out without our most clutch player John Lucas III who just got waived?

@chitwon4life you are talking about Coach T like he is a inexperienced coach. He is a veteran, he has been a coach in the NBA for over 20 years. He has put in his time in fact most who have worked with him label him as a great coach and a workaholic. To continually express that his presence has not contributed to the success of this team does not make any sense whatsoever. I think in a year or two you will be forced to eat your words as he will likely be considered one of the best coaches in the league. Yes the team has talent as have many of the teams that great coaches have coached in the past. Just because the teams had talent does not mean those coaches were not a great coaches and did not contribute to their teams success. I understand that it is unlikely for you to be convinced to give up your baseless attack on Coach T so this will be the last time I respond on the matter. No ill will just felt like I had to say something.

Tonights game against the raptors should be a good one but not as it should appear to me cause the raptors , have guards that can ply but also we need to blow them out totally to prove a pint not only to us the fans but to themself that they are an elite team yes they had injuries as they do now but that is not an excuse to use via there record being very good, so tonight the main focus should be for them to be dominant on both sides of the ball for the intrie game making sure they leave this team with no hope from the opening tip f the game .Our two guards better step there game up just tired of ppl giving our coach so much praise for something this team itself has already been doing b4 he came here they just have had more time to mature and grow as a team and Tibs fell into it at the right time to come out shinning like new car but he needs to show me more yes he try’s but still for all the hype, he got i just think he aint shown me enough to this point to get all the credit he is getting might want to tone that part of it down ppl, give they players there’s especially the ones that have been here b4 him… Peace oh yea D Rose MVP vote ppl for the allstar he deserves to start even though he will play alot of mins I am sure ……

[…] Bulls By The Horns Now, believe it or not, the Raptors have been on a roll against the Bulls in Chicago.

According to STATS LLC, Toronto has averaged 107.2 PPG while holding Chicago to 93.2 PPG during that stretch. Over the last three of those games, Derrick Rose has scored 13.7 points and shot 42.9 percent. […]
