It's crazy how good Wall was for that 6 minute stretch in the 4th quarter compared to how meh he was the rest of the game.

 

I like this Derrick Rose who doesn't shoot more than two or three 3s per game. That floater and mid-range jumper are unstoppable right now.

I love the 2010-11 team from a sentimental stand point. I think I like this one more. They are so much fun to watch.

 

I'll take 10-11 but this one can win me over if Rose can play more consistently like his former MVP self and Noah can play more like last years noah

I was just talking about this yesterday. Noah has been my favorite player to watch over the past few years, but he's probably number 4 or 5 for me on this team. I'd rank it healthy DRose, Mirotic (may move down the list once the newness wears off), Butler, Gasol/Noah, Brooks, Taj, everyone else, Hinrich.

It's pretty crazy that, although it can and will never happen (for several reasons), that I would pick Noah to trade first from the front court to add a really good wing player. Gasol looks as good as he's ever looked. Taj will be the best defender inside, and can score enough, once he gets it going. Mirotic is a stud.

I really feel like we need all of our bigs but if I had to trade one it would be Pau. Offensively he's been great but his rotations on defense are quite bad. Makes it very difficult for others to keep up defensive intensity when Pau is glued to one spot on the floor. I think the offense would suffer some but we would almost always have incredible defense on the floor. Butler and Mirotic would keep us from being too one-dimensional.

At this point, just let McDermott heal up and give him some more time to spell Butler in games. He's the wing shooter they're lacking at this point, just needs minutes and time.

This is the longest that a Bulls team has ever kept my interest during the regular season. They're fun to watch.

Maybe he isn't old enough to remember the late 80's and 90's.

Regular season basketball is pretty meaningless. I feel like you'd have to be a pretty hardcore NBA fan to find a lot of joy in it.

I like what I like. I didn't say it was the best team, just the one that I felt like watching.

 

It was like 1992 when I learned that there were other sports besides baseball, but by that time everybody in the world was a Bulls fan, so being me I naturally wanted to root against them. I've been trying off and on since Elton Brand, but I usually get bored. I probably will this time, too, but who knows.

I think it's a lot of fun if you are a fan of a rising team. For example the 10-11 season was a ton of fun as a Bulls fan because the team came together, exceeded all my expectations, met every challenge and won 62 games. The next regular season was much less enjoyable as I already knew the Bulls were elite contenders and was just waiting for the playoffs to start.

 

This year is starting to become on the level of the 10-11 team due to Rose's injuries knocking the Bulls from title contender the last 2 seasons

If I feel like the bulls are a contender, I will start to watch.
