Chicago Bulls

“Gar Forman’s strategy of adding fading stars who are awkward fits shockingly doesn’t pay off for the Chicago Bulls, who fall below the .500 mark and finish near the bottom of what looks to be a mosh pit of mediocre among a group of nine or 10 teams in the middle of the East.

Because Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade do a lot of their scoring from the same areas of the floor, spacing and offensive flow will be a constant struggle. Because none of Chicago’s guards shoots the ball from deep particularly well, defenses will be able to clog driving lanes readily.

The worry with Rajon Rondo is a legitimate one, as well. If the Bulls slide out of contention early, offensive flow will be further sacrificed in his ongoing quest to get every assist possible for his line on the stat sheet.

There are so many questions surrounding the Bulls that it becomes difficult to envision the scenarios necessary for everything to fall into place for a playoff run.”
