What Are The Bulls Going To Do?

What are the Bulls to do in this slipping time in Chicago?

The heralded Blackhawks are 0-2 after the first weekend on the NHL. The Bears are finding ways ways to lose games. Baseball is over on both sides of the city. What are the Bulls going to do for us?

Illinois has a top five recruiting class for the first time since the 2005 run to the Ncaa championship. What are these teams going to do to lift the spirit of the fans of the state. The Bears are beat up with injuries but somehow manage to keep themselves in ball games only to give it away at the end. Going from believeing the Bears wouldn't have a winning season now many believe they are underachieving. I've heard it said the Bears could be 6-0 right now. I wouldn't say that I would say 4-2.

If soccer was considered a major sport in the city there would be huge buzz for the Fire who has once again made the post season. There has not been much of a buzz for soccer since the World Cup in the nineties and the Chicago Sting of the old North American Soccer League.

With the #1 overall pick in Chicago native Derrick Rose has given the city a bit of hope to compete in a league that is now dominated by star point guards like former Illinois star Derron Williams of the Utah Jazz and Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets. And with first year coach Vinnie Del Negro whom I call Vinnie the Black dealing with a undersized team, has an uptempo philosphy much like the Phoenix Suns. The problem is that this team is overloaded with guards and neither of the 7 footers on the team considered a threat to any of the leagues big men like Orlando's Dwight Howard who could put both Aaron Gray and Joakim Noah through the basket because he is a man beast.

With the group the Bulls have they can win without the distractions of contracts as what affected Luol Deng and Ben Gordon and hopefully less of the selfishness that plagued the team last year. So after a month of super highs and super lows the city is looking for one of its teams to lift their spirits and put the month of October behind them, asking what are the Bulls going to do?
