I think the Bulls are slowly coming around. Derrick Rose is working out very well for them, and the surprising move of starting Drew Gooden at center appears to be working as well. It's extremely doubtful that they'll be a playoff team this year, but with a couple trades and maybe another good draft, they might be decent next year.

The Bulls have a long way to go yet before getting competitive again, but they have done well in recent drafts. I am a huge fan of Ben Gordon. He's usually on the bench, but every time I look at the stat sheet the next day, he's got like at least 15 points. Their young players need a couple more seasons to mature, and when the time comes - everyone watch en and the Bulls take the league by storm.

one word WEAK

The Bulls were gutsy in that series. OK. To all the Chicago fans, here is something to think about: Krause refused to Give Jordan what he wanted. A Carolina guy to the death. Krause starts drafting Dookies. Jay Williams gets hurt. Luol Deng gets hurt right before your first playoff birth since Jordan. DUHON TURNS HIS BACK ON THE BASKETBALL LATE IN GAME 6. Getting the point? It has been nearly a decade since your team let MJ go. I'm starting to think this could end up rivaling the Red Sox curse. Seriously, I would not be surprised if ya'll didn't win another one for half a century. You have good young talent, but watch, something strange will happen every year to make you lose. If you are still doubting, think about that offensive goal tending that HAYWOOD did, that WAS NOT CALLED. Think about JAMISON sparking that fast break, and then hitting that momentum shifting jumper with 2 minutes left. Think about it. I'm not hating - I used to like the Bulls - but think about it, is all I'm saying. It's obvious.

this is a good team and a very fun one to watch...they play more like a TEAM than a group of individuals, which is always really cool to see in the NBA. Being a duke fan, i may glorify them more than they deserve, but Duhon and Deng have brought a lot to the table and they are going to be very successful as Bulls. (at least once Deng recovers)

No Michael Jordan, no Bulls.....

Blah, I hate the Bulls, I'm glad they stink. I got sick of them winning. There were so many bandwagon Bulls fans, where are they now???

i'm sick of dennisrodman (below), he sounded just like a kindegarten kid. BULLS are contender ??? thank god they're in the eastern conference; more forgiving conference. who's their go to guy now ? crawford ? chandler? curry ? in the past they get rid of BRAND, ARTEST, MILLER, ROSE (3 of them were allstars). what can you expect ? (in JORDAN era, bulls are the greatest, and has the greatest fans) but NOW ????

I have to agrre with u redeye chauncey is jus a bad sport. but i really do like the knicks and plz dont get influenced by chauncey. the bulls r a great team they were contenders but no team can b contenders 4 ever and im real impressed by the way they r developing into a good team.

Hey Chauncey, you have to be the most ill-knowledged piece of crap basketball fan I have ever heard of...oh, I guess that's b/c you're a Knicks fan. How can you even ascertain any of the things you said in that useless post when you are a fan of the Knicks? How many championships have the Knicks won in the past 15 years? and How many have the Bulls won? Oh yeah, that's right, 6 in 8 years. Do the math dumba**, the Knicks will never surmount to the dynasty Chicago was in the 90's. But you seem to only find excuses for your sorry Knicks, if they only got the calls in 96'? If you only were so lucky, but no...you have to hope for the sissy way to win...just another sign of a Knicks fan...the Knicks couldn't win then, they can't win now...seems like they never will. Get over it, crawl back into your little hole, and shut the hell up while you wait for your Knicks to show up, if ever......oh, and the current Bulls, where are they?...hmm...well yes they have had no success these past few years, but you can't expect them to win every year after the loss of all their players, with a young team, it takes time to build and regrow, but I guess you Knicks fams don't understand that since all you do is go out and trade for players that used to be good in hopes that you can win, but wait...it never works, in the end...you will always be the Knicks, and you will always lose.

Awful. Their fans, their coach, their gm, their players....all are awful.

with Jalen Rose on the team they will improve.

They suck, period. So much for that "organizations win championships" thing, eh? I'm soooooo glad I sold my season tickets.

They are improving, but are still very young. They will need to judge which 2 or 3 of their young guys they want to keep for the long haul and base the next 6 years on that.

they r actually doin good,but still need time to be a playoff contending team

The post-Michael hangover continues.
