Will the Bulls Going to the Playoffs This Year?

First let me start by saying, yes I’m a Chicago Bulls fan, yes I rep for my city, and yes I’m going to try to not be biased in this blog. A lot has transpired this upcoming season of Chicago Bulls basketball. For the past two years this wouldn't even be a serious question. As I said, a few things happened and they need to be discussed so we can answer for sure, will the Bulls going to the playoffs this year?

Will the Bulls Going to the Playoffs This Year?

The first issue of course is Derrick Rose. As we all know Derrick Rose tore the ACL in his left knee last season. It was a sad day in all the city of Chicago at least for sports fans. He was the nucleus of the Chicago Bulls organization. After all  he was the Most Valuable Player of 2011. The issue is whether we are going to see him play this season, and if so will he be the same Derrick of old. Basketball players know what an ACL injury can do to a players body and mind.

8th Seed? – Will the Bulls Going to the Playoffs This Year?

The second issue is the demolishing of the “Bench Mob”. The Chicago Bulls bench was our bread and butter in my opinion. When all else failed you could count on the “Bench Mob” to expand the lead or at least keep us in fighting distance when the starting five were on the bench. We only have a few people from the “Bench Mob” that’s still around, and that’s a major problem for me and plenty of people in the Chicago area. This leads to my next topic.

Are the Chicago Bulls going to have the same chemistry as they did these past few years? My answer is no, because there are too many new faces. There might be some players who don’t adapt to the Tom Thibodeau style of play. It’s important that the new players adapt because everybody is important on the Bulls squad. Everybody has a specific job that they need to adhere too and perform.

So the question remains: Will the Bulls going to the playoffs this year? My answer is yes, but it’s not going to be easy. I've heard guys slate them to be a 7th or 8th seed, which is no fun when your first round match-up is against the Miami Heat or an angry Boston Celtic crew. The Bulls have many roadblocks ahead of them. I honestly think if they do make it to the playoffs they will barely make it. I’m talking 7th or 8th seed (I hope I’m wrong). What do you think Chicago, post up Due and holler at me.
