Carlos Boozer flashed a big smile after practice Monday and for good reason. This was a practice that he actually participated in rather then watch.
Even though he's 6-8 and 260 pounds and sitting at the end of the bench in a very expensive suit, it's easy to forget that the Bulls are playing – and playing well – without their second-best player.
There's an old saying in sports. "If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best." Well that's exactly what the Bulls will be attempting when they play the defending NBA Champs, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Our early assessments of the Bulls are all based on how we envision them when Carlos Boozer returns. So far, their play has done nothing to dampen the heightened expectations for them to contend in the NBA's Eastern Conference.
The Bulls host the Knicks Thursday night and expect their third straight win. The Knicks have had difficulties in Chicago, only winning two of 19 in the windy city.
The Bulls are hoping to come back from a season opening loss and slow the Pistons down for their home opener. With a new coach and eight new players to rebuild the team around Derrick Rose, the Bulls are ready.
(WSCR) - With the signing of eight free agents during the off-season in an attempt to overhaul the Bulls around Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, Tom Thibodeau has the playoffs in sight. The Bulls start their season opener in Oklahoma City to show they can contend as a top team.
Center Joakim Noah and the Chicago Bulls agreed on a five-year contract extension, a person familiar with the negotiations told The AP.
